Halloween Project Treat Bags

I finally convinced my 13 y/o daughter to allow me to make Halloween Treat Bags. I'll share other photos of part of my process later after get off work---and I'll take better photos.

For this I used the following by @Becca Bonneville
Spooky & Boo Stickers
Spooky & Boo Papers

Thank you all for the love!!!!

Here's a better photo. My lighting is pretty crappy in my craft room. I literally had a lamp sitting on my head while I took this photo. LOL.

Little bit about my process--I mapped out the design in cricut design space. I imported all the designs from Becca that I wanted to use and created the look. This allowed me to size down all the elements to be size appropriate for the bags. (The completed bags are approximately 4.5 inches tall, 3.5 inches wide and 2 inches deep). Once I was happy with the sizing, I sent all of Becca's designs to print then cut in cricut. For the bag I used an .svg file from the Silhouette Design store and used my own black cardstock.

I did edit some of the elements slightly: If you notice, for the spider and the pumpkins, I removed the sticker border. For the pumpkins I wanted them to feel like they were part of the cat scene. For the spider, I wanted to be able to curl up the spider legs and give it more depth.

I used 3 d adhesive to pop the pumpkins and the spider out a bit. For my spider web thread, I used a white gel pen from altenew.

For my little flower, I printed the orange dotted paper from Becca's pack and then used a Tim Holtz die cut to cut the flower out. For the leaves, I used the dies that go with the flower and just cut them out of black card stock.

I did use adhesive to place the tag on the front of the bag, so that way when the bag is opened, my daughter's friends don't have to worry losing it or it tearing off the thread, plus it allows the bag flap to tuck in right behind it as well.

My daughter loves them and can't wait to take them to school tomorrow.

 

awwww thank you!!! I'm thinking the kids on the street might like some treat bags, boxes whatever else I can scare up. I clearly have issues.
