Trick or Treat Boo Bags

October 14, 2011 by Holly Gagnon 49 Comments

Just sharing a few (of the many) Halloween treat’s that I’m making for my kid’s classrooms.  I probably need to make about 30 more and since Halloween is still a few weeks away, I’m hoping the candy will last too!

 

Halloween Boo Treat Bags

     I kept telling myself to keep it simple.  These will be for children between the ages of 4-8 years old and will end up in the trash in about 15 seconds!
I textured embossed black card stock with circles then layered with scallop edged orange card stock.   I used purple heat embossing powder for the BOO stamp and added some googly eyes and a tulle bow for a little more spooky fun.

Halloween Treat Bags

I may or may not be doing some “dumpster diving” after my kids classroom Halloween party….LOL

    So cute! A reminder that I need to get on that. I’m the same way. I say keep it simple but then I go all out and drive myself crazy. It makes me happy though. Kids, they just don’t appreciate our hard work! Haha! Happy Halloween!

    Adorable. I know it’s hard to keep it simple even when you know they are going straight in the trash.

    These are super cute!! I totally understand what you mean about keeping it simple. I am still buying the cellophane bags and then I make tags. I can’t bring myself to using the time and materials right now for a kindergartner. LOL. I love the colors and patterns you have chosen.
