Pumpkin gift bag
This is a Halloween gift bag you can fill with treats like candy and chocolate.
Why not make an item that’s perfect for saying “Trick or treat!” on Halloween or for giving as a gift to children? Take a sheet of origami paper, fold about one-third of it vertically, apply double-sided tape, and fold so the edges overlap.
Next, fold up about 3 cm from the bottom, then fold so the left and right sides come to the inside.
Fold the top and bottom corners toward the center, secure with tape, and your bag is complete.
Try drawing pumpkins or ghosts to match the color of your origami paper.
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!
Pumpkin bag
When you think of Halloween, the first design that likely comes to mind is a pumpkin.
This craft involves a simple process: evenly cutting colored paper with double-sided tape and sticking the pieces along the curve of a paper cup, so even young children can enjoy making it! Older kids can have fun drawing designs on the paper or changing the colors to create their own original pumpkins.
After using it as a treat bag, it also looks cute as interior decor—perfect for keeping the fun memories of Halloween alive.
Black cat candy bag
In Halloween, where the bold contrast of black and orange creates such a strong image, black cat designs are a perfect fit.
Cutting a paper plate into a cat shape and painting it is a process children can enjoy while they work.
For parts like the eyes and nose, you can cut and paste colored paper, and it’s fun to see each child’s individuality come through.
These adorable black cat treat bags will add a cute touch to Halloween—highly recommended!
Bat candy bag
A bat-themed candy bag that you can make using construction paper as the base is a great Halloween craft for kids.
While bats can seem scary when you see them flying around town, they’re also an iconic Halloween design.
You’ll use stationery like a compass to shape the construction paper into a cute design, and by working on it together with an adult, kids can also learn how to use the tools—two birds with one stone.
Filling your very own Halloween bag with candy makes the event even more fun.

Bat Halloween Bag
Let’s make a bat-themed Halloween bag! You will need a paper cup, purple origami paper, bat wing, eye, and mouth parts, a hole punch, string, and glue.
Let the children freely tear the origami paper! Once it’s torn, have them stick the pieces onto a paper cup that’s been covered with glue.
When they’re done, attach the eye and mouth parts, and add bat wings on both sides.
Punch holes near the rim of the paper cup, thread the string through, and your bat bag is complete.
Take your handmade bag and head out to collect some treats!
Bat bag
A bat-shaped bag—an essential icon for Halloween—is a craft that balances an eerie vibe with a cute finish.
It’s easy enough for young children: roll black construction paper into a tube so that only one end comes to a point, and secure the shape with clear tape to complete the bag.
For a more realistic look, you can cut the paper into a more bat-like shape with scissors and add wings and a face, but since this involves cutting and gluing, adults should supervise younger children.
It’s a craft that kids will enjoy even after Halloween, and there’s no doubt they’ll be thrilled to fill the bag they made themselves with treats.
