Scarecrow Treat Bags for Halloween

These Halloween goodie bags are easy to make and the kids will love to get their candy in a scarecrow themed bag.

Supplies

Burlap fabric
Fabric glue Fabric Fusion works great for this
Googly eyes
Felt
Scissors
Raffia
Black dimensional paint try the Tulip Slick

Instructions

Cut your burlap into 5 x 8 inch rectangular pieces with scissors. You can change the size of these if you wish but I find that this size works well.
Use fabric glue to secure the bag. You will want to fold the long edge to meet in the back then glue the bottom of the bag as well as the seam in the back. Allow this to dry. NOTE: Be sure that the bag is not glued shut while drying!
Add eyes and a felt nose with fabric glue. Cut the felt nose with scissors into a triangle shape. Then draw on a mouth with the dimensional paint. This paint will need to dry overnight.
Finish off the treat bags with a little raffia bow on the bottom. Add in your candy and secure the top with additional raffia. Your cute little treat bags are complete and ready for those little ones.

You can fill your DIY Halloween treat bags with whatever candy that you would like. I like adding more raffia to the top to close the bags but you could definitely leave them open as well. Be aware that the top will fray. You can use a product like fray check if you are worried about it along that top edge.

Using These Halloween Goodie Bags

Make these cute bags for trick-or-treaters, Halloween parties, dropping on the neighbor’s porch, and so much more. In fact, we have tips for making your own boo bags that you can use as well. I could also see making these a part of a Halloween candy scavenger hunt. No matter how you are celebrating Halloween this year, I think there is a place for this cute craft idea in your plans.

Letting the Kids Help

This is also a great project for the kids to help with. They can actually make these all by themselves as there is no hot glue involved. If you have younger kids, you might want to operate the black paint on your own or use a different method to make a mouth. Otherwise, turn them look to make their own DIY Halloween treat bags. A cute craft that the entire family will love to make.
