I just love using the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper to make Halloween cards and other projects, like this simple little Toil & Trouble Halloween Treat Bag Topper.  If you have children or neighbors or office workers to whom you want to give a little candy treat, just make a simple little topper with cardstock and some decoration to close a bag of Halloween candy or treats!

Start with the 3″ x 6″ Gusseted Cellophane Bags that will hold some Halloween candies. If you don’t want to be quite so generous with the candy, partially fill the bag with some “shred” like in gift bags or crumple a piece of colored tissue paper….or cut the bag down from the top to make it a little smaller.  Put the treat inside and fold the top over once or twice.  Adhere with some Snail Adhesive or Fast Fuse (some refills still left on the Clearance Rack!).

Make the bag topper just a bit wider than the bag.  Mine is 2″ x 3 1/4″ folded in half, so 4″ x 3 1/4″ to start with.  I cut out some of the images from the Toil & Trouble Designer Paper in the Holiday Catalog and adhered them to the topper.  The greeting is stamped in Granny Apple Green from the Trick or Tweet Stamp Set and punched with the Classic Label Punch.  I thought I needed something besides just the Basic Black Cardstock in the background so I put a piece of the polka-dot pattern on the topper. I think it sets off the cutout images better. Just adhere the topper to the bag.
