Witches Broom Halloween Candy Bag

Step 1 Supplies

There are very few supplies that you will need for this project.

1. Two brown paper lunch sized bags
2. Twine
3. Scissors
4. A stick, twig or wooden dowel
5. Labels

Step 2 Fold one bag

For one bag, push out the bottom of bag, while keeping the sides folded in and press it flat to a solid surface. You can see from the next photo what it should look like.

Step 3 Cutting the folded seams

Once the bag is flat on a solid surface, using a pair of scissors cut through the seams until you reach approximately 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch to the base of the bag. You should be cutting a total of four seams.

Step 4 Cutting Strips

Cut approximately 1/2 in thin strips down to the base of the bag until you reach approximately 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch to the base of the bag. Don’t cut through the base, you will need that to hold your second bag 😉

Step 5 Lay the bag open

In the open position, lay the bag that you cut down to the base on a flat surface.

Step 6 Cutting the second bag

For the second bag, cut approximately 1/2 inch strips but this time only about 2 -3 inches long, from the top of the bag. This bag will be used to fill with goodies.

Step 7 Place second bag over 1st bag & fill with goodies

Place the second bag on top of the base of the first bag and fill with your goodies. Mine has juice, candy, and a small bag of chips.

Step 8 Adding the twig/broom handle

Next, place your twig into the center of the bag. My twig goes to the base of the bag but you can use a shorter one and only insert it about 2 inches from the top and cinch/secure it in place.

Step 9 cinching/securing the bag and labeling it

Once your twig is inserted into the bag, gather the first bag over the second bag and cinch/secure it in place with twine or ribbon, and add your labels/name tags . That’s it, super easy right?
