Fun Ideas for Tricks or Treats

Hi everyone and happy Thursday to all of you.  Today I have lots of fun ideas to share with you to create fun goody bags to give to friends and family this year.

There are lots of these little white thin paper bags out now and these bags are the perfect size for little ATC cards to fit on the front.  I used stickers from my stash and a few Spellbinders dies that I had and then finished them off with beautiful ribbons from the September Ribbon Assortment and black jute ribbon to make them really special.  It's going to be fun to make up a lot of these since they are so fast and easy and you can use up some of those stickers you have been saving!!

For my little Spider pail, I used an old pail that I had been saving to re-purpose, and made up a pattern first to fit over it out of plain white paper.  Then I cut it out and carefully glued it to the pail and added some black ric rac from the September Ribbon Club Assortment to seal the bottom.  For the top I cut 2 pieces of the Spellbinders scalloped circle and glued them on.  And then I finished it by adding lots of pretty ribbons on both sides of the handle in a gorgeous shade of apple green.  And the cute sticker that says trick or treat is from Doodlebug.  Now it's ready to fill up and give away or maybe just use to decorate my house.  I am not quite sure yet :)  

Thanks for stopping over and have a wonderful day...

Halloween Candy Jar with Fun Ribbon Embellishments

One of my favorite crafts to make is a version of this pot jar candy holder. All the beautiful colors of ribbon this month at Really Reasonable Ribbon inspired me to create one to decorate for Halloween in a couple of months and I used lots of fun things I had in my stash to create it with.

To create one of these jars you will need a small glass fishbowl and then a pot to fit underneath and a flat dish to go on the top.  I painted both of them first with Americana Paints in black, orange and white and let them dry.  Then I glued them together and let that dry too.  Next I had some fun spider stickers from Stampendous and I applied those to the front and the back.

To finish it I tied ribbon around the center and tied lots of pretty bows with the ribbons from Ribbon Club this month and some black eyelash yarn too.  The top has just a few cobweb stickers and I tied a star with some black twine to make it pop.  It was really fun to make.

Thanks for visiting and be sure and get the RRR Sept Ribbon Club Assortment before

they're all gone.  We have lots of amazing projects to inspire you all month to create with !!
