DIY Halloween Treat Bags

Directions

1. Cut fabric into pieces, measuring 15 inches by 5 3/4 inches.
2. Fold fabric in half, right sides together. Measure 2 inches down from the top and draw a line with a disappearing ink fabric marker.
3. Sew along the sides of the bag, 1/2 inch from the edge, up to the line you drew. Back stitch a few times at the top to help secure the bag.
4. Fold the top edges of the bag over 1/2 inch. (towards the center of the bag.) Press with iron if needed, though you can probably get away with “finger pressing.”
5. Fold the top over 1/4th inch, then fold over again so the edge of the folded top is even with the line you drew. Repeat for the other side.
6. Pin in place and sew along the bottom of the fold to create the casing. Don’t forget to back stitch. Take care to not sew stitches through the other side/casing.
7. Trim edges.
8. Flip bag right side out and press.
9. Use a safety pin to pull string/ribbon through both casings. Trim strings and use fray check as needed.
10. Decorate as desired.
