31 Days of Halloween - day 9

I'm so happy for the weekend! After a busy morning of getting the kiddo to karate class and then coming home to find one of the dogs MIA, I finally got to do some crafting. (Yes I did find the little Houdini, the stinker.)




I used a wooden gift bag that I got at Michael's a while back and some Halloween paper I found in the $1 bin at Target last week. First I painted it white (acrylic paint) then used Mod Podge to glue the paper to the box and then another layer on top to seal it. I stamped the tag shape, web and "happy hauntings" sentiment in black and sponged some purple over the top then added a spider I cut from the same paper as the front of the bag and threw in some googlie eyes for the fun of it. Then tied on the tag with some black ribbon. I didn't have any stuffing so I cut some orange CS into thin strips and ran it through the crimper. Voila! A fun little treat bag!
Next stop.... Ikes' World.
