How-To: Halloween Treat Bags

 Hey Y'all!

First off this one is as simple, or intricate as you'd like! I did share a few of mine previously on TikTok:

I chose one of the more simple routes and bought the clear bags from Dollar Tree. Included in that were the twist ties. I made the stickers (for the non food treats) with Cricut's print then cut feature:

Every die cut machine has several treat bag templates, but you don't need one for this craft.

This one's easy enough for the kids to help!

Simplified Supplies:

Paper of your choosing, medium thickness works best

Scissors 

Tape or stapler

Optional Supplies:

Paper punch/ corner rounder

Bone Folder

Anything else you'd like to add (bows, stickers, rhinestones, etc.)

How-To:

1) Choose your paper. {Mine is from The Bewitched Matstack, from DCWV 2012.}

2) Cut to width, and double length you want your bag to be. (If you want a 4in tall bag, start with an 8in piece.) * I started small for this example, I just plan to add a little note for hubby & a Hershey Kiss.

3) Fold your paper in half. This is where a bone folder can help, but I just did it by hand.

Open the fold back up.

4) Add tape (or staples). I used double stick tape, I find it easier, and cleaner looking.

4B) If you used double stick peel the backing.

5) Reclose your fold, making sure whichever method of adhesion you chose is lining up.

I stuck my small Cricut scraper in the pocket to show the bag.

6) Embellish however you'd like. 

I'd love to see your Trick or Treat set up, so feel free to tag me on social media!!

Have a great day,
