Easy Halloween Treats

We don't get tons of Trick-or-Treaters at our house, so I wanted to make something a little special for the ghosties and ghoulies who knock on our door. However, not very many is still a fair number, so I needed the treats to be quick and easy. I came up with these little packages that fit two mini packages of starbursts. I was able to finish off 30 or so in just a couple hours. 
​

I cut strips of Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black cardstock that were 8.5" x 2.25". Then I scored each strip at 4" and 4.5". Because the strips were 8.5" long - the width of a piece of cardstock - I only had to make one cut for each strip. 

I slipped each end of the strip through my Tailored Tag punch in order to create a pointed end on each side. You can see how this works in this photo from a previous project.
​

I folded the sides up and stapled two mini starburst packages inside. Then I punched a hole at the top and closed it up with a piece of grosgrain ribbon from my stash. Instead of tying a knot directly, I used a second, skinnier grosgrain ribbon from my stash and tied a knot around the wider Old Olive ribbon. 

To finish it off, I added a piece of 2" x 3" patterned paper to the front and a "Happy Halloween" greeting. For a few of them, I also added a pumpkin stamp that I pulled from my stash.

Quick and easy and ready for the kiddos to come knocking!
