Alright who’s ready for the sugar fest Halloween festivities to begin?! I made one last minute Halloween BOO bag to “Boo” some of the neighbors and to pass out candy with. I’m also sharing a super easy candy corn recipe! I had so much fun making this for Elmers #gluenglitter campaign. You can read more about my shop here.
{Boo Bag Tutorial}
Supplies:
- 1 large gift bag
- 2-3 pieces of scrapbook paper
- 2 cupcake wrappers
- Boo stamp or printed letters off the computer
- Elmers Glue Spots
- Elmers Glue Stick
- Ribbon
- Measure your bag and cut out your Halloween paper the same length. I did my bottom layer 6 inches and the top layer 5 inches.
- Glue the top layer of paper to the bottom layer using your glue stick.
- Attach the paper to a paper bag using Elmers Glue spots.
- Assemble your pinwheel. You can find the whole tutorial here.
- Stamp your letters onto a white piece of paper.
- Glue Boo sign onto a pennant banner. I made this 3-dimensional by folding in the corners 1/2 in on both side. Then I snipped the corners off to create the diagonals.
- I thought the string was a little boring, so I snipped those right off.
- Then I attached a piece of ribbon, tying double knots on each end.
Now fill your bag with treats!! Candy will certainly do… but I thought it would be fun to make a Candy Corn Mix. I know some of you are still wondering what to bring to your Halloween parties this weekend. This recipe is for YOU! And trust me… everyone will love it!
This is recipe is seriously SO easy to make and takes less than 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 5 cups of Honey Nut Chex
- 4 cups of mini pretzels
- 1 pkg. of vanilla candi quik
- 1 cup of candy corn
- 1 cup of candy corn m&m’s (optional)
Seriously guys this recipe is SO easy. Just mix all your dry ingredients in a big bowl. Melt the candi quik in the microwave for one minute and pour over your mix. Stir it around and then lay on wax paper to dry.
Seriously SO easy, and perfect for a last minute Halloween treat! Warning… it is addicting! Don’t say I didn’t warn you! ;)
I filled the Candy Corn Mix in my BOO bag and was good to go!
So what’s everyone’s plans for the weekend? Do tell… We have a trunk or treat tonight and my son is SO excited! It’s so fun now that he is older. He gets so excited for the holidays!
