Witch's Broom Treat Bags!

I think this is a absolutely cute idea, no matter if its a child or adult party - these can be used as a centerpiece, decoration, or even a party favor/treat bag. The witch's broom treat bags are very easy to make and all the items can be bought at your local Dollar Tree or around your own home!

Best of all this project will only cost $4.00!

What You'll Need:

. Brown Paper Lunch Bags
. Scissors
. Rubber Bands
. Ribbon, String, or Yarn
. Sticks (from your yard)
. Candy

*All items italicized are item you probably already have around your own home.

Easy Step-by-Step Directions:

1. Create the broomfs bristles by cutting one of the

paper bags in 1.2" strips from the very top (where

the bag opens) to the very bottom, stopping at the

part of the bag that sits flat on the table top.

2. Lay the cut paper bag flat on the table. Place the uncut

paper bag on top of the cut paper bag, so that the bottoms

are sitting exactly on top of one another.

3. Fill the uncut paper bag about one-quarter full with the

candy of your choice.

4. Put the stick in the middle of the uncut paper bag.

5. Bring the loose strips of the cut paper bag up and around the

sides of the uncut paper bag. Holding both bags tightly against

the stick (about half way up) secure with a rubber band.

6. Tie a piece of string, yarn, or ribbon tightly around the paper

bags, concealing the rubber band. Trim excess paper bag.

Halloween is coming. . .Well in about 60 days.

I can't even go into detail about how much I love the holidays, Halloween being my favorite. And having OCD only makes things worse haha, I love to throw parties and above all decorate the crap out of my house. But when is enough, enough!?!

With in the days leading up to halloween, I'm going to show you have to save money for the upcoming holidays and even make it look like you spent more than you did.

One place I swear by is the Dollar Tree - and I know what some of you are thinking, "The Dollar Tree? Really??" Well guess what the dollar tree has some great stuff and for such a low price, you guessed it $1.00!

They even carry some holiday decor/supplies/treats - whatever the need. Some people may be embarrassed to shop at a discount store but why spend more when you can save less??

Every monday from now until Halloween I will be posting cute DIY Halloween Ideas that will cost you less the $6 -  Not completely sold yet? Just sit back and let me do the work for you.
