Halloween Treats

So, we have a Halloween Party every year, and I am usually (always) in charge of the treats/prizes.

This year, I decided to get creative, and I made felt candy holders.

They were really simple, and turned out very cute. So, I thought I'd share.

In order to make one of these Halloween holders all you need to do is buy a little felt, and get out your glue gun.  It's pretty much as simple as that!

I just drew a pattern for each one on a paper, and then cut out the paper and pinned it to the felt.

Next: cut the felt.

**Note: double up on the felt so that when you cut, you cut two pieces instead of one.  It makes things SO much easier!

After that, you just cut a slit in the middle of one piece of the felt. This piece will be used as the back of the candy holder.  (That's where the candy goes.)

Next:  Hot glue the pieces together around the edges, and wait for it to cool.

While you're doing that, make a design on the front by using other felt. I made faces, etc.

Finally, stuff the holder.

So fun! SO easy!
