Halloween Treat Bags And Candy Wrappers

Happy Halloween!!

I've been making some last minute quick and easy treat bags and candy wrappers for Halloween.

These are super easy and fun to make.

This bag was decorated with a pumpkin cute from Smiley Faces Cartridge.

I used felt fusion to decorate the bottom of the bag and ribbon to accent the top.

I put Halloween tissue paper on the inside to finish the look.

I used Micro Bags 4" x 5-1/8" . These are a perfect size for treat bags.

This bag I made a window with the Martha Stewart punch all over the page punch.

I decorated the bag with felt fusion and twine.

I framed out the window on the bag with patterned paper.

I accented the inside of the bag with Halloween tissue paper.

This bag I used the Smiley Face Cartridge for the candy corn die cut.

I accented the bag with ribbon.

This bag I also accented the inside of the bag with Halloween tissue paper.

To wrap your candy cut your paper to size for wrapping.

In this instance I cut a 6" x 7" piece of cardstock.

For these Kit Kat mini candy bars I used a 6" x 6" cardstock to wrap them.

I applied double sided tape to three sides of the paper then wrapped them.

I took my Marvy paper crimper and crimped both ends of the candy wrapper.

I accented them with patterned cardstock and ribbon.

Making Fabric Flowers With Your Die Cut Machine Tutorial

Flower Tutorial

Here's the fall fabric flowers I made.

I'm going to show you how I made them.

First I ironed on HeatnBond - Ultra Hold to the back of my fabric.

It is a 17x12 Sheet. I did have to iron the fabric first so it was nice and smooth.

You don't want any wrinkles, creases or bunched up fabric.

If that happens it won't cut right in your Die Cut Machine.

See how it makes it nice a stiff. You want your fabric stiff in order to cut it.

Some people use liquid stiffeners. I chose to use Heat n Bond.

Here you have to peel off the backing before you place it on the mat.

You can see the backing in the first picture.

Next I put my fabric on a super sticky mat.

You also want to make sure you put in a new blade in your machine.

The settings I used were pressure 5 and speed at 2 on my Imagine.

I cut the flower out at 4.5"

Here's the negative of the cut.

Here's the spiral flower.

I just took my stylus and rolled the flower toward me.

With the front side of the fabric up.

I don't want the heat n bond side to be showing. 

Now that I have it rolled. I'm going to let the flower loosen up.

Let it uncurl. You may have to fuss with it a bit to help it loosen up.

Now I have my flower loosened up to where I like it.

Hot glue the flower to the bottom circular part of the flower.

I think you can see it ok where I put the glue.

This is the finished flower

You can put what ever you want in the center of the flower.

The maroon flowers I didn't put a center in.

I think it looks great either way.
