Birthday party favor bags, Halloween themed.
Two of my kids’ birthdays straddle Halloween so this year we are having one big Halloween party.
Of course we need party favor bags so I made these pumpkin shaped bags with drop cloth and Halloween themed fabric:
Each kid has their own personalized bag.
11 kids at this party:
Ready to be filled with party treats and candy.
Here’s how I made the bags:
1. Follow the same tutorial from my pumpkin bag post here.
Cut pieces:
2. Make handles:
3. Before sewing outer pieces together make the monogram.
Print out letter.
Iron on double sided fusible to wrong side of letter fabric:
Using a light box, flip letter over and place right side of fabric down onto paper:
Trace letter outline onto paper backing of fusible.
Cut out letter:
Iron into place on outer fabric, zig zag stitch around edge:
4. Continue constructing the bag as per the instructions in this post here.
5. Add ribbon, decorative string and spider decoration:
All ready for the party:
The original pumpkin bag was my inspiration:
Now each party goer will have their own treat bag:
We’re ready for a Halloween birthday party.

Jaime, these are darling! I love their pudgy little shape and the quality with which you made them. If you want to show them off anywhere else, I'd love to have you over at my Bewitching Craft linky party at http://igottacreate.blogspot.com. Have a great weekend!
Fabulous! You are so incredibly crafty! I am a new follower from The Shabby Nest. Cutting alphabets is too hard for me, Instead of it, I painted it with oil painting.

These are amazing gift bags and my new years project. I saw your idea on Jessica's mesewcrazy site (wish I knew how to make a link….i'm so new at this!). If it turns out credibly, i'll link to you on my site. Thank you for such an awesome idea.
