Sew an Easy Trick or Treat Bag!
Depending on where you live, Halloween might look different this year. At least around my house, one thing that won't change is the candy. I'll still be buying it. :)
Milky Way, Reese's Peanut Butter pumpkins, Mounds bars...wait, what was I talking about?!
Anyway, we're still deep in costume negotiation here, but I've already pulled out our trusty trick-or-treat bags. I sewed these for the older two boys back in 2013 and added Ben's a couple years later. I love them--they're easy to make and durable, and 1000x better than a plastic grocery bag. And now, I've created a video tutorial for making these! Head over to my YouTube channel and check it out.
All ready for candy!
I sew these bags using two child-size t-shirts, so a fair amount of the cutting and sewing work is done for you just from the shape of the t-shirt. You can design your own jack o' lantern face for the front.
Look at that sweet face!
