I have lots of old brown lunch bags leftover from when my boys took their lunches to school. So, this cute treat bag was a perfect one for me to make to send treats to my boys and my nieces and nephews for Halloween. Enjoy!
Uses Wicked Cool Clear-Mount Set plus Pumpkin Pie Card Stock, Confetti White Card Stock, Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Marker, Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker, Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker, Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Clear-Mount Block I, SNAIL Adhesive, Crop-A-Dile, Paper Snips, Craft Scissors, Paper Cutter, old craft sticks left over from Rub-Ons, brown lunch bags, and candy.
I cut my brown lunch bags down so one was 6 1/2" tall and the other was 7" tall.
Use the Paper Snips to cut fringe across the top of the 6 1/2" tall bag so the cuts are about 1 1/2" to 2" deep. It will look like this:
Fold the 7" tall bag so the bottom poofs out and the sides are folded in. Then, use the Paper Snips to cut fringe down near the bottom edge of the bag. It will look like this:
Open the larger bag up and spread the fringe out. Fill the smaller bag with candy and place inside the larger bag. It should look like this:
Gather the fringe up and tie the bags closed with a piece of ribbon. Insert the craft stick for the broom handle. Tie on the tag.
Here's a closer look at the tag I made:
I put all three stamps on Clear-Mount Block I at the same time. I then inked them up using the Markers and stamped them all at once onto the Confetti White Card Stock. That way I knew they were perfectly spaced and lined up! I cut the top of the tag pieces with my Paper Snips to get the tag shape.
