Halloween Treat Bag Made From Candy

      

   

You can easily whip up several of these "trick or treat" candy 

Bags in a reasonable amount of time. 

These treats consist of:  a box of tic tacs, 6 wrapped sticks of 

gum, ribbon, double sided tape, and/or hot glue, a 6 x 6 piece 

of card stock ( any color you wish), and a stamp with an image 

representing the holiday accompanied by an ink pad of desired color.

 

- use your adhesive to secure the wrapped gum sticks around the 

   tic-tac container.

- 2 sticks of the gum will lay side by side on the front and back of 

  the plastic box and 1 stick go gum    on each of the sides.

- be sure that gum stick bottoms are flush with the bottom of the tic tax box.

- secure ribbon close to the upper and lower edges of the gum sticks to create an attractive border. 

- measure and cut card stock to fit in between the top and bottom ribbon borders.

- stamp image onto the paper.

- secure paper to the front of the trick or treat bags between the ribbon borders.

To sweeten up this project more, add small candies to the inside the top of these Halloween bags.

I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial!

Decorations for a Bridal Shower

Well it's really been a long time since I posted. I have been thinking about this blog and wanting to make the time to add more posts.  I see the last posting was a DIY Garland made from heart doilies.

I'm not sure if I explained why I made the heart garland or not, however, I made them to be part of shower decorations for one of my kids weddings. The worst part of it all was that the wall that was dedicated to the decorations was made of such a hard material that pushpins cannot even go through.

So needless to say the way I planned for the decorations to go up on the wall, Was a no go.  The decorations I made had to be arranged so that they could suspend from the hinges in this metal "wall".  Instead of the decorations being a grouping they actually had to be spread so far apart that it was disappointing to me and did not do the decorations justice.

Here are pictures of all the decorations I made.  One of my sisters made the tree that was stamped with all the fingerprints of the guests.

 

  

 

Even though I didn't care for the way the decorations had to be positioned, I must say they were better than any thing they were selling in the party store for this theme.
