Want to save money and have a good time with your family this Halloween by making your own Halloween treat bag?

I used to buy Halloween treat bags for my children every year before Halloween. After Halloween the bags end up in the garbage can each and every year. A waste of money … Don’t you agree? And bad for the environment as well.

But, I found a nice little solution to that, which I am going to share with you today. Your kids will love this simple solution….I guarantee it! Ok here goes…I kept you waiting long enough now!:

Gather your children around the table. Serve some cookies and drinks. Make this a nice family event!

Gather some old shopping bags, some scissors, glue, Halloween stickers, glitters, and some markers. Look for some nice printable Halloween templates online to decorate the shopping bags.

Print the templates on T-shirt transfer paper and iron the designs on the bags. Some popular Halloween designs:

-   Ghost.
-   Skull.
-   Pumpkin.
-   Bat
-   Ghoul.
-   Monster.
-   Their name.
-   Or …”Got candy?” on it.

If the Halloween treat bags match the children’s outfits they will most certainly steal the show!

Warning!: After the Halloween treat bags have been created make sure the bags can carry some weight. A lot of candy will go into those bags …

If the the tests have been successful it’s time to hit the streets to collect loads of candy!

The kids will feel very proud with their self created Halloween treat bag. Plus…you had some quality time with your kids, being creative, saved money, AND did something for the environment!

But what if they are unable to collect some trick and treats?! That would be a shame! Find out how to make sure they get some trick and treats this year! You must not fail them as a parent …Click here to get some treats!
