Today on the SRM Stickers blog, there's a feature on "Crafting with Kids." This is something we do frequently around here, so this challenge wasn't too difficult for Bryn & I to complete as we had 26 treat bags to assemble for her class party last week.
We kept this project simple & started with your basic brown lunch bags. They are very cheap & the brown color works well for this time of year. We also used my 6x6 Cosmo Cricket Matilda mini deck, white cardstock, a couple punches, a pumpkin stamp & our Halloween-themed SRM Stickers...
Bryn colored in all the pumpkin stamps with orange & green colored pencils...
We stapled a simple piece of ribbon on top of our tags after adhering our punched circles together...
Just to add a little more interest, we used our Martha Stewart border punch on top of the bags...
It's always easier to complete a big project when you have a little helper! And quite frankly, treat bags don't need to be too fancy when they're for a big group of 9-10 year olds who really just want the candy that's inside them... right?!
My October HIP 2B SQUARE kit arrived yesterday, so I'm getting started on it today! Have a FABULOUS weekend!
so so fun .. and so cute. I think it is amazing when the kids want to show their creative side. Elijah will sit at the table in the room and want to paint .. he is always saying this is what real artists do LOL.
love this post
