Halloween Goodie bags

Hi Everyone!!

I hope you are having a great Tuesday!
Today I want to share some Halloween Goodie bags I made for our son's Second grade class for their Halloween Party. Yes, this year they are celebrating and next year, who knows?! So I try to take advantage when I can and make fun things for him to bring.

I had leftover Halloween cello bags from previous years so I just decided to make some bag toppers. These were my first ones and I love how they came out!

I made 25 of them for him to take and I filled them with allergy-friendly candy Starbursts, Dum-Dums, Smarties and Skittles then added a few other goodies like erasers, spider rings, fake dracula teeth just for fun.

Hey Ghoul-friend!!

Hi Everyone :)

Today I have a project that I made for a special crafty friend of mine for Halloween.

I also made the card for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge!
*to use an older cartridge with a "Card Feature" on it*

Must be a Halloween Theme!

Then I made her a cute holder with some fun lotion.

I got the pattern from Splitcoast stampers and altered it to fit the little lotion.

  The pattern is originally made for the mini hand sanitizer like this one.

Here is the set all together.
I am so glad she got them and liked them. I hope to make more for Christmas!!

You made a really nice treat box. Nice to see a different version of this. You have sweetened up Halloween. http://www.KristasPaperCafe.com KristaInMN at gmail dot com Congrats, Krista!! 

My project today I made for our home to feature the new Orange Truffle Trendy Twine.

I really love the colors of this twine, it can go with so many fun projects!

I decided to make my very first wreath for our front door.

I made some felt flowers from a few tutorials I found online, I bought a wreath, some berries and ribbon from Michaels then decorated the wreath. I had a lot of fun making this project!

One of the blogs I got the tutorial from- Take Heart.

On our Front door.

Better lighting ( A little in my craftroom)

I hot glued my flowers and leaves to my wreath after I put the ribbon 

and the Orange Truffle Trendy Twine on.

All the ribbon, Felt and wreath are from Michaels, the Twine is Orange Truffle From Trendy Twine and the Button is a Stampin Up Chocolate Chip Corduroy button.

Thanks so much for looking and I hope this gave a little inspiration! :)

Have a wonderfully Crafty day!
