Halloween Goodie Bag Toppers!

This very first creative "You Can Make It" project is dedicated to my friend, Kami! She doesn't think she's creative, but I know she could be if she tried! This will be something simple that she can do and will make her kiddos proud!

Since Halloween is next week, I thought I would share a great way to give your Halloween goodies a fun way! I have to say that this is not my original idea. I saw this idea on some digital scrapbooking sites a few years ago. The ones they were selling were for were for Valentine's Day treats, but I think they are great to do for any holiday or special occasion! These are so simple to make and anyone can do it...the kiddos can even help! I made a couple of freebie designs to help you get started! The back of the topper is decorated, too! Click on the image to download designs.


Directions:

  1. Fill sandwich baggies with your favorite Halloween goodies

  2. Print the goodie bag toppers-I've put them 2 to a page. You can print on your home ink jet printer OR...I prefer to go to Office Max and have them printed with a color laser! It only costs $0.49 a sheet (so you will get 2 toppers for $0.49)! The color is AMAZING this way!

  3. Cut out the toppers (I use a paper trimmer, but scissors will work fine) and fold them in half (there's a little line so you will know where to fold)

  4. Put the topper over the top of the sandwich baggie and staple into place!

  5. You can be finished now OR staple on a piece of folded ribbon or fabric just for a little more flair!


It's just that easy! You will be the coolest mom, co-worker or friend if you give treats this way!

I did these little baggies recently for Lee Lee's 4th Birthday Party. If you want to do them for a birthday party and aren't computer savvy, you can always use fun scrapbooking paper and stickers from your favorite hobby or craft store!
