Instructions for making a Halloween Trick or Treat Bag!

Step 1.

You will need the following

  • A plain-colored paper shopping bag (available in craft stores like Michael's)
  • Halloween graphics (such as the pumpkin shown here)
  • Kid-friendly scissors, glue stick
  • Colored markers, glitter pens, Halloween stickers (optional)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 2.

Cut out the Halloween graphics and other pictures that you are going to use to decorate the Halloween Trick or Treat Bag.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 3.

Arrange Halloween decorations and then glue to bag.

I prefer to use Elmer's Washable School Glue Stick. It goes on purple and dries clear!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 4.

Decorate bag with colored markers, glitter, and Halloween stickers, as desired!

Your Trick or Treat bag is now ready for a fun night of Trick or Treating!

 

This completes the instructions for the Halloween Trick or Treat Bag.
