Halloween Treat Bags From 6x6 Paper | Easy Gift Bag Tutorial | Glue and Giggles

Trick or treat! This week on Glue and Giggles we made adorable Halloween gift bags from just one 6" x 6" piece of paper. Perfect for the little ones who come to your door. Welcome, crafty friends! Grab a coffee and settle in. I have already filled some of mine with treats for Halloween (so I will not eat them, I promise). This bag design comes from the wonderful Paper Pixie, who makes the easiest boxes and bags to follow. One sheet of paper, a few score lines, and you have treat packaging ready to go. What You Will Learn: How to score and fold a treat bag from a single 6" x 6" sheet Why you should snip small wedges from the side tabs before gluing My block H trick for holding the bag bottom while glue sets How to thread ribbon with dental floss holders and finish a faux bow closure How to punch closure holes that avoid the extra layers Measurements: Start with 6" x 6" paper (tonight I used Frightfully Fun; Spooktacular works too, or cut 6" x 6" from 12" x 12") With paper running top to bottom, score at 1-1/8", 2-1/8", 3-7/8" and 4-7/8" Rotate clockwise, score at 1" and 4-1/2" Turn over, score at 5-1/2" Fold the 1/2" top flap back and fold the rest in Punch two holes for the ribbon, eyeballing placement and avoiding the extra layers Thread black 3/8" iridescent ribbon through, add a tab tag, and finish with the faux bow Products and Supplies Featured: Frightfully Fun 6" x 6" paper (Spooktacular designer paper also works: 4 designs, 12 sheets of each, 48 total, stripes on the back) Scoreboard for crisp score lines My Sweet Petunia precision glue gun, plus green liquid glue (go light!) Acrylic block H for pressing the bag bottom (still available, I checked) Retired Stampin' Up! Crop-A-Dile for the small hole punch Black 3/8" iridescent ribbon, shiny on the ends Dental floss holders for threading ribbon Tab tag, ghost and bat embellishments, plain black and white dots Why You Will Love This Project: It is quick, it is sturdy, and one sheet of paper makes one whole bag. The faux bow closure looks fancy but is simple once you see it, and the bags are the perfect size for Halloween treats. Make a batch in an afternoon and you are ready for every little ghost and goblin on the street. Weekly Draw: Congratulations to Gail, winner of last week's gatefold card! I fixed it, it now stays shut, and it is on its way to you. This week's prize is one of these Halloween gift bags. Sorry, I cannot mail treats in it, but the bag is all yours. I may flatten it for mailing, or a local winner can pick it up. To enter, leave a comment on this video. I spin the wheel next week!
