This week, I’ll be sharing a tutorials on how to make 13 Halloween ornaments for your tree. Some of these ornaments may be turned into brooches or used in miniature Halloween scene.
Today, we’re going to make a miniature trick or treat bag filled with bon-bons, candy bars, lifesavers and licorice. If you come up with ideas for your own mini candies, please tag me on socials, I’d love to see! I designed a free printable download for you for the Jack-o-lantern bag and the tiny chocolate bar labels. Download the printable trick-or-treat bag from drop box here.
Cute out your pattern and use a bone folder or other flat tool to crease sharp fold lines. Use white glue to glue the tabs and clip the seam closed while the glue dries
To make the chocolate bars, fold the labels into thirds and fold a strip of aluminum foil to fit inside the labels. Glue the strip of foil in place, leaving a bit of excess hanging out the ends of the labels like a real chocolate bar. Glue the labels closed.
To make the bon-bons, roll foil into very small balls. Roll the foil balls into small pieces of mylar and roll them up in a tube. Twist the ends tightly to seal them. Trim the excess mylar.
To make the lifesavers candies, line tiny colorful seed beads up in a row on a piece of clear packing tape. I’m using clear gorilla tape, which is a bit thicker and easier to manage than typical packing tape. Use a tool to push the bead row to the edge of the tape. Roll into a tube shape and tightly twist the ends to seal. Trim the excess tape off the ends.
To make the red licorice candy, cut small pieces of thin red yarn and pull the plies apart. Line small pieces of it along a strip of the same clear tape. Fold the tape over and seal it in the package. Trim the extra tape.
Ext, arrange your miniature candies in the bag and glue them into place.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. I’ll be sharing a new tutorial tomorrow for 13 days of Halloween Ornaments.
