Here is my Halloween trick-or-treat bag from a bandanna tutorial in case you missed it when I swapped with Samster Mommy. I found my bandanna from Joann's for $1.49 AND IT GLOWS IN THE DARK!
Optional: Freezer paper, paint
4.)Now grab your extra piece and cut two 4 inch strips from it for the straps. (Mine are still folded in half)
6.) Now fold you strap in half (lengthwise) and iron the fold. Now you should have no unfinished edges showing. (The ends should be finished from the bandanna.)
Here is what my 2 straps look like.
14.) I freezer paper stenciled the letters on. I cut out my letters for "trick or treat" and ironed the freezer paper to the top of the bag. I also place a piece of cardboard inside the bag so that the paint does not run through.

Great trick-or-treat bag! The only thing that would make it better is to be full of candy!!

This is soooo adorable... He is too precious carrying it around!
Very cute! Thanks for doing a tutorial!
What a cutie bag. I especially love the "walking by and gazing" at it part. Thanks for the Tutorial!
Have just found this tutorial via One Pretty Thing and have made the bag for my friends little boy. It is so lovely! Thanks for the idea. I'm trying to bring the 'Boo' tradition to Scotland, so I will fill it with goodies and hang it on their door. Can't wait! And he will have something cool to play with when the treats are finally gone. Many thanks, Emma
