This project shows you how to create two distinct Halloween treat packages: sealed plastic vials labeled as specimens and stacked paper bags tied with twine. You will need specific craft supplies like washi tape, double-sided tape, and printable labels, along with glassine bags measuring 4 by 6 3/4 inches and small chevron sacks sized 2 3/4 by 4 1/2 inches. The process involves filling the containers with M&Ms or other goodies, securing the closures with tape, and assembling the final looks with decorative touches.

Directions
- Pack your plastic vials with candy and seal each one with a cork stopper.
- Secure the cork in place by wrapping a strip of patterned tape, measuring roughly 3.5 to 4 inches, over the top and down the sides of the vial.
- Continue this method until you have filled every vial or used up all your candy.
- Affix the 'specimen No 3' sticker to the front of each vial using double-sided adhesive.
- Load the glassine pouches and the tiny chevron sacks with your favorite snacks or small toys, then fold the tops down and seal them with tape.
- Place the smaller sack on top of the larger one and bind them together using a length of black cord.
