With Halloween being right around the corner there is no end to what you can do to get prepared, especially if you are going to be throwing a Halloween party for your kids and their friends, or even if you have volunteered for the class Halloween Party at school. These fun treat bags will be a monster hit with children of all ages, with their layering, textures, and glittering star.

Materials:
• Orange cardstock
• White cardstock
• Dyed feathers
• Champagne Versamark Watermark Ink
• Staz On Black Ink
• Cute Halloween stamps (one large, one small)
• Prismacolor (or any) markers
• Glue
• Dimensional adhesive dots
• Boning tool
• Tsukineko galaxy pens
• Treat bags
• Treats of your choice
• Adhesive tape runner

First, cut a 4½” x6” piece from your orange cardstock. Then score the 6” side lightly so that you can easily fold your orange cardstock into a 4½” x3” mini card. This will be the base of your bag topper. Unfold this and lay it flat so that the 4½” side is facing you.

Take you small stamp and ink it up with the Champagne VersaMark Watermark Ink. Stamp this randomly across the front of your orange cardstock. Be sure to stamp off the edges of your card somewhat to add the ramdomness of your design.

Next take your large stamp and ink it up with your Black Staz On Ink. Stamp this onto your white cardstock. Allow to dry, or heat with your heat gun in order to dry this more quickly. When your Black ink is completely dry, color your image with your Prismacolor markers. I prefer Prismacolor because they are alcohol based. The colors blend flawlessly and leave not marker lines, and are much cheaper than Copic markers. When you are done coloring in your design with the marker colors you desire, take your galaxy pens and add some accents with these wonderful pens. On my design I used the yellow one to add sparkle to the star on the cat’s hat. Cut the image to size. Set this aside.

Take two feathers in colors to match your design and glue them onto your orange cardstock, making sure the ends are in about 1” from both the bottom and the left side. Allow the glue to dry.

When the glue is dry, take your dimensional adhesive dots and place them on the backside of your stamped image and carefully place this onto your orange cardstock on the left side, making sure you move the feathers out of the way of the adhesive dots.

Take your treat bag and fill it with any treats you thing will be a hit with the kids. Close the treat bag and staple or tape shut. Then carefully adhere the topper to the treat bag using adhesive.

Pass out these wonderful treat bags and enjoy the looks on the children’s faces!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
