Make this super cute Halloween candy basket using a paper lunch bag!

I needed a quick way to put out candy at my Open House so I made this little candy basket. It is so quick and easy to make. They would make fun gifts for teachers too.

Supplies Needed:

Paper Lunch Bag
Cardstock (great use for scraps.)
Stamps (or other embellishments) and ribbon

Directions:
Cut down paper lunch bag to your desired size.

Cut cardstock into 2 pieces. These will cover the front and back of the bag.

Stamp or decorate cardstock with bats and flourishes.


I made my own embellishment by heat embossing the purple Happy Halloween image on the black circle. I like the pop of color.

Attach cardstock pieces to the bag, on the front and the back.

Cut a strip of cardstock for the handle.

I added ribbon to the cardstock to reinforce it.

I stapled the ends of the handle to the sides of the bag making an x. That way it looks like a decoration too.

Now, fill it with your favorite treat and enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy project. I can’t wait to do it again with other papers for other holidays.

Now, it’s YOUR TURN!  Can you imagine the possibilities?

I would love to see what you make! Leave a link in the comments and I’ll be sure to stop by and see your project!

 Until Next Time-
Happy Creating!
