These simple Halloween packaging ideas use plastic test tubes and paper bags to create fun, themed treat containers. Fill test tubes with M&Ms, seal with cork and decorative tape, then label. Pair a glassine bag and a chevron paper bag filled with treats, stacked and tied with twine for a complete look.

Directions

  1. Load the plastic test tube with goodies and seal it with the cork.
  2. Wrap a strip of decorative tape (approximately 3.5 to 4 inches) over the top of the cork and down the sides of the tube to keep the cork secure.
  3. Repeat these steps until you've used up all your treats or test tubes.
  4. Affix the 'specimen No 3' label to the test tube container using double-sided tape.
  5. Fill the glassine bag and the chevron paper bag with treats and small toys, then fold the tops down and seal with tape.
  6. Place the smaller bag on top of the larger one and bind them together with black twine.
