Halloween TREAT Pocket

Welcome back to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog, everyone!  It's Karen here today.  Having you stop by is always such a treat for us, so I thought I'd share an actual "treat" with you all today.  Really Reasonable Ribbon always has the perfect ribbons, trims, twines and everything we need to create something fun.  I hope you'll stop by Really Reasonable Ribbon to look around.  Here's the treat I created to share with you.

I used a polka dot paper bag that I folded in half.  I added a piece of spider patterned paper, and I machine stitched the sides; leaving the top open to create a pocket.  In the back of the bag, I tucked in a couple of fun Halloween tags that I topped with some Black & White Houndstooth Ribbon and a snippet of Orange Plaid Ribbon With Black Stitching.  The Orange Plaid Ribbon With Black Stitching can be found as an individual trim through this link in various widths, and also in this month's Ribbon Club Assortment.

On the front of the pocket, I ran a width of the  Orange Plaid Ribbon With Black Stitching and tied a bow with that, 3/8" Black & White Gingham as well as a length of Black Seam Binding.  I also bundled up some Orange Burlap String and Black Burlap String that I placed underneath the bow, and I tucked in several Black Double Head Mini Stamens....because they're adorable!

Of course....the TREAT part are the mini Hershey's chocolate bars that I tucked in the pocket.  Yum!  I don't know which is yummier, actually.  The chocolate....or all the delicious products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  They're both pretty awesome.  I say "ALL of the above".  (LOL)   I also used a plastic candy tube that I filled with Halloween colored candy-coated chocolates.  I topped that tube with the same trims listed above.  You'll always find everything you need to adorn your projects when shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  There's just SO much to see.  Why not TREAT yourself?

Blessings,

Karen
