Halloween bag made from construction paper
By folding colored construction paper that matches your design and adding illustrations, you can easily make an original Halloween bag.
Following steps similar to origami creates a three-dimensional feel that’s hard to achieve by just cutting and drawing, making it especially satisfying for older children.
Also, by shaping the construction paper into a cone with one pointed end and one open end, you can achieve a three-dimensional look while keeping the design easy to fill with candy.
Decorating the finished bag however you like lets you quickly create a one-of-a-kind treat bag, so it’s highly recommended.
Simple Pumpkin Bag
Many children look forward to Halloween, when they carry a bucket and collect candy while shouting “Trick or treat!” How about making a small pumpkin bag using origami? Use orange origami paper to fold the bag and the pumpkin part, then cut strips of paper in a different color, fold them a few times, and tape them from the inside with cellophane tape to make the handle.
For the pumpkin’s face, you can draw it with a marker or stick on pieces of black origami paper.
Ghost candy bag made from a paper cup
The ghost-themed candy bag made with paper cups is perfect for kids’ crafts because it’s simple to make and allows for a lot of design freedom.
Prepare one paper cup with a slit so candy can be inserted and another regular paper cup.
Attach a handle to the slit cup, then tape the rims of the two cups together from the inside, and you’re done.
If you draw a ghost face on it or add a hat and cape, it will look even more Halloween-like.
It’s a simple project that still lets you show originality, making it easy for children to create.
Handbag made from paper plates
A handbag made with paper plates would likely be a hit as a Halloween gift if you fill it with treats and hand it out to kids.
Since it can be easily made using only materials from a 100-yen shop, you can produce high-quality pieces even when you need to make a large number for an event.
By changing how you cut the paper plates and which materials you use, you can create a variety of designs like bats or ghosts, so it might be fun to tailor them to the children’s tastes or make several types and let them choose.
It’s simple and inexpensive, but it’s a very Halloween-appropriate craft that I’d like you to make with an eye toward a polished finish.

Candy bag made from a paper plate
Treat bags that can be easily made with paper plates are perfect for children’s Halloween events.
The materials are easy to gather—paper plates for the bag itself, markers like Posca pens for decorations, and yarn for the shoulder strap—so it’s highly recommended.
Since the bags are very lightweight and compact, they won’t be a burden to carry around even when filled with Halloween treats.
Putting candies into bags they made themselves is sure to boost their excitement.
paper plate candy bucket
This is a simple craft for making the must-have Halloween candy bucket or bag out of paper plates.
Have your child draw or color on paper plates, then stack two plates together so an opening at the top can hold candy, attach a handle, and it’s done—easy for kids to try.
However, because a stapler is used to attach the plates and handle, an adult should supervise if small children are making it.
Filling a bucket decorated with their own original design with their favorite treats will help your child enjoy Halloween even more.
Halloween bag made from a paper bag
Halloween bags made from paper sacks are highly recommended because the materials are easy to find and they’re simple to make.
By treating the paper bag like a house, cutting window openings, and attaching clear film, you can design it so the contents are visible—sure to get kids excited.
Plus, since you can freely decorate by drawing the exterior walls with masking tape or markers, children will likely be absorbed in making their own.
It’s a bag that lets you enjoy your own unique style, different from the typical Halloween character designs.
In conclusion
We introduced ideas for making Halloween bags.
They can all be made with materials you have on hand, so you can enjoy creating a one-of-a-kind original bag.
Each material—like plastic bottles and milk cartons—gives a different character.
Have the kids fill their handmade bags with Halloween treats and make wonderful memories!
