How to make Pumpkin Treat Bags for Halloween:
1. Gather all your supplies. Take a printout of this template:
2. Select orange colored craft paper and make the treat bag. You can find the full tutorial to make your own paper bag here. You can also use store bought paper bags for this craft or make a custom sized bag of your choice.
3. Print out the leaves and other items from the colored template or print out the blank patterns and trace them on the craft papers of your choice. Make sure to customize the size of the template patterns for the bag before printing them.
4. Use craft glue to stick the prepared items on the bag. Glue the top part of the stem on the middle of the paper bag’s open end. Glue the bottom part of the stem along the border of the open end (of the paper bag).
5. Glue the leaves on both sides of the stem. Use slotted quilling tool to create the vines from thin paper strips. Glue them on either sides of the stem.
6. Draw the eyes on 2 round cut outs from white paper or simply print out the eyes from the template.
7. Stick the eyes on the top side of the paper bag. Also attach the mouth to complete the pumpkin face. Add more details if you want to and then allow the glue to dry.
