This mummy treat bag does double duty, it’s both a functional candy carrier and a standout Halloween decoration.
The bandages wrapped around the bag look perfectly tattered, and those red-veined eyeballs give it just the right amount of creepiness.
You can craft these ahead of time as goody bags for a Halloween party, or make them with kids as a simple, hands-on activity.
Materials Needed
- Small paper or cardboard bag with handle
- Beige or off-white craft foam/paper strips (inked edges for aged effect)
- Hot glue or craft glue
- Plastic eyeballs or googly eyes
- Scissors
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Cut craft foam or paper into strips of varying lengths.
Step 2: Shade the edges with black or brown ink to give them an old, weathered look.
Step 3: Glue the strips across the bag, overlapping them randomly to look like bandages.
Step 4: Glue on plastic eyeballs peeking out from a small gap between the strips.
Step 5: Let dry completely, then fill with candy or small party treats.
Tips:
You can use glow-in-the-dark eyeballs to add a fun nighttime surprise for trick-or-treaters!
