Special Graduation Loot Bag

Special Graduation Loot Bag-1

Here is an original loot bag which may be filled with small erasers, glue sticks,
or crayons. Little graduates will love hiding tiny objects inside!

1. Gather your materials. You will need black Fun Foam, yarn, scissors, a ruler, a pen, a paintbrush, black paint, glue (not shown), a pompom, a party horn (preferably like the one shown since it will represent the tassel), and a small nut container with a plastic lid.
