Trick or Treat Bags

I still don't really feel like crafting, but yesterday I made up some "Trick or Treat" bags to give to the neighbouring children.  These are just for a select few of the children that live closest to me.  With the whole Covid situation, I doubt we will have many knocking on our door to "Trick or Treat".

I buy packs of ten kraft paper bags from Home Bargains.  I think their primary use is lunch bags, but they're handy to have for all sorts of things, so I used them as the base for the bags, stamping a few spooky images and making a hang tag.  I've made five in total.

Halloween Bauble and Trick or Treat Bags (Design Team make for "Love To Craft Challenge Blog" #27)

This is my second month creating for the Design Team of the "Love To Craft Challenge Blog".  This time it is #27 (October 2018) and as always the prompt is "Anything Goes".

This time I have two projects on the halloween theme, which I hope will inspire you.  I've made a halloween bauble and trick or treat bags.

I had a clear plastic hanging bauble in my stash, just waiting to be used.  I asked Hubby to cut a slice off the back of the bauble so that I had an aperture for inserting the battery operated tea light which I balanced on a disc of black card.

Using a cob web & spider die (purchased second hand) I cut several of each.  I stuck the cobweb dies to the bauble and decorated it with shiny gems and silver stars.  For the spider. I stuck several die cuts together using a black foam pad for dimension and added white eyes.  Using a clear sewing thread I attached the spider to the thread and then tied it to the top of the bauble.  Hopefully this gives the look of the spider spinning the web.

I picked up a pack of white bags with a string handle from Home Bargains.  They come plain so ideal for dressing up.  Using a selection of halloween dies and stamps (Stampin' up Spooky Fun and Halloween Scenes Edgelits I created these bags ready for the Trick of Treat visitors at the end of the month.

Happy Halloween

I am ready for any Trick or Treaters.  I've put some decorations up outside, a pumpkin wreath is hanging on the door and my goodie bags are packed and ready to give out.

I hope we have some visitors this year as we didn't have any last year!  :( 

Trick or Treat Goodie Bags

Today I have finished off making the Trick or Treat goodie bags for children that call by our house tomorrow evening for Halloween.

In Home Bargains, I found packs of 10 paper bags with a grey and white dot design for just 69p per pack.  For the label, I used a Stampin' Up set called "Spooky Fun" for the pumpkin and sentiment.  Once stamped, I then used a Spellbinders oval die to cut the shape. I used two Promarkers for the orange colour of the pumpkins (Bright Orange and Amber).

Halloween Trick or Treat Bags

Two little girls live across the road from our house.  At the weekend they were telling me that they are getting dressed up for Halloween, so I asked them if they would like to knock on my door when they're in their costumes to let me see them dressed up.  As these are special Trick or Treaters I've made them a Halloween gift bag each with some little bits and bobs in there that I thought they would like.

I had a pack of brown paper bags with raffia handles which I thought I'd dress up a bit.  (I got them in Home Bargains for about £1 some time ago). I found some 12x12 Halloween patterned paper in my stash (Bo Bunny Press) and went about dressing the bags.  I didn't have enough to do the same on both bags so each have two different designs. The "A" & "O" are the little ones initials so they can identify who they belong to.

Here's the front.

And the reverse.
