Halloween Treat Bags


These treat bags are super easy to create for the last minute item.

Supplies:

Sweet Pea Stamps Halloween Plate 1
Brilliance Graphite Black Ink Pad (Tsukineko)
Tape Runner (Ad Tech)
Chalks (CTMH)
Printer or Light Weight Paper (Unknown)

Instructions:

1. Stamp the images randomly all over the sheet of paper, positioning the paper so that it is 8.5" x 11" when stamping, and color with chalks.


2. Fold the paper, bottom to top, in half so that it is 5.5" x 8.5" - the fold is the bottom of the sack.

3. Fold the sides of the bag inward .25" and then outward .5" to create a pleat and adhere the .25" folds together with the tape runner. See the picture below for an example of the fold.


4. For an added touch, decorative scissors can be used to trim the top edge of the sack.

5. Enjoy sharing!
