Assembly:
First, I printed the bag toppers using a free design site called Avery.com. They have hundreds of templates. Simply log in or sign-up for an account, decide on what template you want to use, design your project, and print. You can use any image they have or your own. Create any saying you want for the back of the bag toppers.
I used white, plain card stock for my bag toppers for added stability. I attached the bag toppers with a stapler.
How to Create the Bag Toppers:

It is not a good idea to tell children that chocolate is medication, even if it is something fictitious like “grinch pills”. Parents who do this are setting their children up to ingest actual medication because they expect it to taste like chocolate.
No child is going to confuse these make-believe “pills” with the real thing. If there is any doubt, tell them it is make believe like their toy cars and dolls and the only thing it does is taste good. Chocolate makes you smile. Period.
P.S. They are not going to think “elf poop” or “reindeer noses” are real either.
Seriously lady? Get out of your grinch mode
it’s people like you that ruin special events
Just change it to Grinch Poop. That’s the fun of making your own labels.
oh FFS, lighten up. they don’t have to be for children! i gave grinch pills to colleagues and my MIL.
i’d probably give you a double helping.
Awesome cute ideas I love them the only thing I personally would change would be the grinch pills if given to a child grinch poop like mentioned above, would be better but if given to an adult grinch pills are just fine.
I love the graphics where can I find them? are they a stamp or graphic design.
I think those are cute ideas and I would like to do them. Thank you for sharing
where do you get the cute labels?
Great ideas, thank you.
