Halloween crafting is even more fun when candy is involved! Peep these adorable treat bags using the same items you would use to create a greeting card!
Today we have a treat for you, treat bag that is! Our designer Donna created the sweetest little bags you ever did see, and we are obsessed. Donna shared, “I created these little treat bags with bright patterned papers, sweet ghost images, and playful sentiments for an easy Halloween project that would be perfect for sharing.” We love the look of these and it’s always fun to use our craft supplies to create non-card items as well, bringing more bang for our buck and stretching our creativity! Follow along and find out how to make adorable little treat bags with card supplies.
- I started by creating each treat bag using two 6×6 sheets from the 2003 Spook-Tacular 6×6 Paper Pad. I’ll have a video coming soon showing exactly how I put the treat bags together!
- While the adhesive dried on the bags, I worked on the focal images. I stamped the cutest little ghosts from the 36006 Cute Ghosts Stamp Set, colored them with Copic Markers, and used the coordinating 36006D Cute Ghosts Dies to cut them out.
- Next, I created a sentiment for each bag using the 5842-01D Sweet Treat Saying Dies and black cardstock. I definitely made this step a little harder than it needed to be! I die cut each sentiment separately, then layered it onto cardstock cut with the 5908D Flag Banner Dies. Next time, I’ll simplify by cutting the banner first, placing the sentiment die directly onto it, and cutting the words from the banner itself.
- To help the little ghosts stand out against the colorful patterned backgrounds, I used the retired PCDIE5527D Peek-a-Boo Triple Cover Die to create a simple circle mat behind each image.
- Once all of my pieces were ready, I adhered the circle mats, ghosts, and those sentiments I worked so hard on to the front of each treat bag.
- Lastly, I added coordinating tissue paper for a little extra pop of color.
