Think quick! It\u2019s almost Halloween and you\u2019ve pretty much wolfed down\u00a0your colossal candy stockpile. All\u00a0that’s left for your guests is one measly bag of morsels, giving you the sense that somewhere in a day-glow painted boiler room, Willy Wonka is weeping.<\/p>\n
Well snap out of it! Halloween is no time to neglect your friends, or your crafting either. You’ve got no time to waste going to the store to buy more candy and party supplies, so you’ll have to make do with the bare essentials…<\/p>\n
Don’t just stand there!\u00a0Grab that old pad of construction paper, and find some scissors and tape, pronto! Today we\u2019re making decorative fun-sized candy bags. Even though you still have a tummy ache, and your tongue has yet to return to its original color, with these cute\u00a0little favors, your guests might just overlook your stinginesss with the sweets!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0 Make a fold (inward) at about 4.5 inches from the edge of the page, on each end.<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0 Cut the paper on the four creases created in the middle, stopping at the edge of the folds.<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0 Glue or tape the outer edges of each side together.<\/p>\n
There you have it. You now have your very own miniature party favor bag, in any festive color that you want! Think of it as a blank canvas. Now, using more construction paper, you can customize the bag to look like just about any Halloween character imaginable.<\/p>\n
For our motley crew, we created an owl, a mummy, a bat and, of course,\u00a0Frankenstein. But the possibilities are endless.\u00a0This Halloween, if you want to save your guests a trip to the dentist, give them these bite-sized party bags. (And enjoy the extra treats\u00a0’til Turkey Day!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
