Treat bags for Halloween.

I’m in love with these cute ghost treat bags for Halloween.? I know we’re down to the wire with time, but I had to share these with you before next year.? Little ghostie sacks filled with treats.

Supplies for Halloween Treat Bags:

paper bags

Step 1:

Cut the paper bag to the shape of a ghost.? Trim off the top of the bag in the shape of a semi-circle.? Cut off as much or as little as you’d like, this is your rodeo.

Step 2:

Punch holes as far down as you can make your hole puncher go.? You don’t want these ripping up to the top of the bag when you add your ribbon.? Place the holes about 2″ or 3″ inches apart.

Step 3:

This is where it gets crazy {not really}.? Glue your googly eyes onto the sack right underneath the holes you just punched.? Glue big ones, small ones, mismatched ones, crooked ones, you decide.

Aren’t they cute?? The ghost looks so innocent without a mouth and nose.

Looks can be deceiving.

Step 4:

Fill ‘er up.? Now’s the time to add treats.? Put in candy, popcorn, granola bars {I’m trying to add a healthy option here, you see that?}, whatever your sweet little heart desires.

Step 5:

We’re adding the ribbon now. This part is a little tricky if you have wider ribbon like I did.? If you have skinny little ribbon you’re golden.

Pinch the ribbon in half and carefully squeeze it through the holes you just punched.

Carefully thread it through the back on one side, and then the other, until you have this:

Step 6:

Now tie a knot.

If you have extra ends, trim them down until your bow is even.

It’s super easy, swearsies.

Your ghost is done!

Now repeat until you have as many ghost treat bags as you need for whatever party you’re throwing.
