DIY Bat Halloween Treat Bag

Hi Cheryl here again.

Well Summer has definitely gone, but what a fab Summer we have had!

It is now time to look forward to my favourite season of the year.

The nights are getting colder and darker and soon it will be time for kids to dress up and go trick or treating .

So why not come and join me in making this project for your treats.

Craft Materials Used

• Silhouette Adhesive Cardstock
• Silhouette Chipboard
• Glue
• Googly eyes

In your software open your Halloween Bat Bag file in the design space.

You want to make sure you Choose 12 x12 mat.

In your software open your Halloween Bat Bag file in the design space.

You want to make sure you Choose 12 x12 mat.

You need to right click on the image and ungroup everything from the bags but leave the wings.

Once you have done that, right click and group, then remove the wings.

Now click send and change your material to chipboard for the bag design, then hit send.

Once cut, put the design aside and do the same steps as above but change your material to cardstock adhesive-backed and cut the remaining pieces in the different colours.

Now you want to put your grey cardstock onto the bag section and using a bone folder, crease all the fold sections and shape your bags.

Next, glue the side piece on to the inside and glue the bottom pieces to make 2 sturdy bags.

Now for the fun bit, putting all the pieces on to the bags to decorate.

Leave the side panels off and  put the wings through the slits, then glue onto the sides.

I removed the white circles for the eyes and put googly eyes on.

Last of all, fill the bags with the treats.

I had great fun making these and they are great to fill with treats to hand out to each kid who comes trick or treating at your door.

You could always take one of the bags off the file and make the other one bigger, but I think these are a good size.

I hope you all have a great Halloween when it does come around!

I will be back soon with another project.
