Happy Halloween


Goody Bags 2
 
 
 
Bearing in mind I don't have a lot of time... I have managed to make a few Halloween toppers for my goody bags tonight.
 
Pinterest is my inspiration as always! Thank you to everyone who shared their ideas on this wonderful format.

Halloween Goodies

 
 
Goody Bags - 1
 
 
 
So it is that time again to make goody bags and other sweet treats for Halloween.
 
This year I wanted to make some fun things for my Stampin Up! classmates.
 
 
I used some little black and white spotted bags from Michaels and like last year made the sour cream containers to hold some candy.

 
 


 

 

 
Then I used the long thin Stampin Up! film bags and using a skewer I carefully pushed the "twizzler" sticks down and made them into broomsticks.
 




 
The Stampin Up! candy wrapper die had been looking at me for a while... almost a year in fact, but I finally got to use it to make another candy container. It is quite fiddly and involves lots of folding and scoring but looks great when its all done.
 
 
 
















Lastly the spiders..... my favorite thing at the moment.
 
I used large lollipops and covered them in a thin black vinyl material. I found a black party table cloth was perfect. Then using 2 black pipe cleaners cut in half and the boggley eyes, Voila! an arachnid... or two.
