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!
