[Halloween] Boost Your Halloween with Handmade Bags! Special Feature on Bag-Making Ideas [Part 2] (1–10)
Pumpkin pouch
Just stick a face onto your favorite bag and you’ve got an easy, cute pochette! Prepare one bag you like—plastic or paper both work.
If it has handles, remove them first.
Cut out a pumpkin shape from construction or origami paper and glue it onto the bag, then add the pumpkin’s facial parts.
Finally, attach a strap cut to fit your child’s body so it can be worn over the shoulder, and you’re done! If children cut out the parts themselves, it’s suitable for ages 3 and up; if they’re just sticking pieces on, even infants can give it a try.
Have fun crafting and make Halloween extra festive!
Use stickers to give clear bags a Halloween theme!
A Halloween bag decorated with stickers and sequins on a clear bag is a craft that will stay useful even after Halloween thanks to its festive look.
First, stick Halloween-themed stickers on the inside of a transparent zip storage bag, then add glitter and sequins inside.
Use a glue gun to attach the storage bag to the inside of the clear bag, and finish by edging it with masking tape.
However, since glue guns get hot, make sure an adult does the work in a place away from children.
A Halloween ghost that can also be used as a bag
This bag can be made using scraps of drawing paper and origami that come from your usual craft time.
Even though you might not get many scraps from just one session, if you collect them every time you make something, you’ll end up with quite a lot.
Crumple the scraps and tear them into smaller pieces to use—kids love this step! Then paste the torn pieces onto an inflated balloon; once it’s dry, remove the balloon from inside.
After that, reinforce it, add handles, and finally attach a face—like a Jack-o’-Lantern or any monster you like—and you’re done! It’s an easy, eco-friendly Halloween bag, and the making process is fun too!
Candy bag made from a plastic bottle
A Halloween bag made from a plastic bottle is a simple yet stylish option and highly recommended.
Cut the bottle to the desired height, line the inside with black origami paper of the same height to create a backdrop, and slip your favorite illustrations between the bottle and the paper.
This produces a different finish than designing directly on the bag.
However, adults should handle cutting the bottle, taping over the cut edges, and punching holes with a hole punch.
Since it can be made easily with materials you have on hand, it’s a perfect candy bag to try as a Halloween craft.
Ghost candy bag made from a paper cup
A ghost-themed candy bag made from paper cups is a perfect craft to do with kids because it’s simple to make and allows for lots of design freedom.
Prepare one paper cup with slits cut into it so you can put candy inside, and another paper cup left as-is.
Attach a handle to the cup with the slits.
Then tape the rims of the two cups together from the inside to complete the basic shape.
Draw a ghost face on it, or add Halloween touches like a hat or a cape to make it look even more like a candy bag.
Since making holes in the paper cups and threading pipe cleaners can lead to injuries, have an adult handle those steps, or wrap the ends of the pipe cleaners with tape for safety.
Monster bag
These are monster bags inspired by characters like pumpkins, ghosts, and bats.
First, fold a rectangular sheet of construction paper into a square to get ready.
Fold the paper into a triangle, then fold the sides toward the center.
Fold one flap forward and tuck the other flap inside to form the bag.
Secure the creases with tape and punch holes in the top corners.
Attach the facial features to the bag, thread a string through the holes, and it’s done.
It’s also fun to customize what you thread through—like nylon tape or ribbon.
Why not make these with your two-year-old children? They’re fun to create and fun to display.
Monster bucket made of yarn
These are Halloween cups made with paper cups and yarn.
The method is simple: just wrap your favorite color of yarn around a paper cup with double-sided tape on it! Then add a pipe cleaner as a handle and attach face parts like eyes and a mouth to finish.
If you use white yarn, it becomes a mummy-style ghost; if you use purple or yellow-green yarn, it turns into a cute, colorful monster.
And in true Halloween fashion, they’re practical too—you can use them to hold candy!
