Here are this year's Halloween goodies:
You need two paper bags for each broomstick. I used the small size from Michael's that are about 6" x 2". Unfold one bag and push out its base while folding in the left and right sides. Use scissors to cut the bag into thin strips right down to the base fold. Cut thin strips into the top inch or so of the second bag.
Open both bags and place the second bag inside the shredded one.
Add Halloween candy of choice--I went with the classic candy corn. Insert a small branch into the bag. Cinch the tops of both bags and secure with ribbon. Add a cute tag.

ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry I can't make your project I don't have the ingreidients.
ReplyDeleteHow about a ziploc bag inside w an oatmeal muffin or couple oatmeal cookies for lil back to school gift for teacher?
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a muffin and turning it into a teacher gift! Thanks for sharing that, Maura
DeleteTeachers these days need to trash any food items. There are too many folks these days who are certified wackos dressed as normal people. A gift certificate, even just $5, is much more appreciated. Individual Kleenex packs are also good this time of year. Individual hand sanitizers are good. A sheet of star stickers. Small bottles of glue.
DeleteI love these do you have a link for the label
