We are going to show you how to make these super cute Alien Toy Story gift bags that will be the highlight of any Toy Story themed birthday party.
This is not only a great project for kids, but it’s also fun and easy to do so even little ones can help prepare for their big day.
Toy Story is a Pixar movie about toys that come to life while their owner Andy is away.
It’s been out for almost 20 years and every year we see new merchandise and glimpses into the future of Toy Story with sequels and spin-offs.
One thing that never changes, though, is how much we all love these adorable characters.
So today I’m going to show you how to make some super cute Toy Story gift bags in honor of our favorite toy friends from outer space!
My favorite characters from the Toy Story movies are definitely the aliens.
After making a Buzz Lightyear Themed Bedroom for my son, I ended up falling in love with the idea of making my son’s birthday party centered around the adorable alien characters.
I saw some cute Toy Story alien party favors on Pinterest and ended up making my own templates to make these bags.

Supplies Needed
- Colored card stock paper in white, black, purple and bright green
- 5.25″ x 10.25″ Green lunch bags
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Instructions
Print the template on a sheet of firm card stock paper. White or any color is fine, as this will be your tracing template.
Cut out the shapes and use them to trace the design on the appropriate color paper.
- collar on purple
- ears and antennae on bright green
- large circle eyes on white
- eyeballs and mouth on black
Grab a green kraft bag and fold the top 3″ back. This is to make the handle or something you can tape shut.
If you want to leave the bags open at the top, you can skip this part, but I don’t think they look as cute this way!
Glue on the purple collar along the bottom edge of the bag.
You want the semi-circle cutout to be towards the top.
Add the mouth with glue about 3/4 to 1″ – centered above that collar cutout.
Glue the ears on about 3/4″ down from the top fold and place one antennae in center of the top.
Glue the small black eyeballs onto the larger eye whites.
Be sure to make them a little off-center, towards one side to make them look cute.
If you glue the black right in the center, they will end up giving you a crazy stare.
Glue 3 completed eyes onto the bag. I recommend arranging them in an arc like the picture above, but you can place them however you wish!
That’s it! Fill your Toy Story goodie bags with treats and you’re good to go.
This would also be a fun party activity to have the kids make their own Toy Story party bags during the party itself!
Set up an arts and crafts table with everything they need pre-cut and placed at each seat.
