Halloween treat bags are small bags, pouches, or even cartons that can be used to hand out Halloween goodies and favors. They can be used at parties, in classrooms, or even for trick-or-treating, especially for special Halloween visitors. Shoppers have the option of purchasing pre-made Halloween treat bags from party stores and costume stores online or in local communities. Or, creative people may consider crafting their own treat bags, using a wide variety of styles and spooky themes.
The bags can then be filled with things like Halloween candy, popcorn, pencils, fake spiders, toys, stickers, temporary tattoos, glow sticks, and more. All containers need to be food-safe and age appropriate for the people receiving the bags.
Ideas for Homemade Treat Bags
For kids, parenting websites recommend crafts like attaching two paper plates and cutting a small section away, and then decorating it like a black cat, with big goggly eyes and whiskers. Or green treat bags can have black paper hair added for a Frankenstein look, then draw on a few scars and add some goggly eyes and a quirky smile.http://www.parents.com/holiday/halloween/crafts/treat-bags/?page=3
Brand-new sterile clear plastic gloves can be used as creepy treat bags as well by putting [[candy corn] in the finger tips and then filling with popcorn. The glove opening gets sealed up and a spider ring can be placed on the ring finger.http://crafts.kaboose.com/handy-halloween-treat.html
For adults, black bags can be turned into tombstones with the white letters RIP written or painted on the bags. Green tissue paper flourished inside the bags can look like overgrown grass around the grave, and red paint can be drizzled to have a bloody look.http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/halloween-trickortreatbagscraftsideaskids.html
