"Hello ModernMom readers,

I'm Becky - one of the five Crafting Chicks. We are moms who love to share our ideas and crafts that are inspired by our kiddos.

Today I'm going to show you a fun, quick project to showcase your treats for Halloween.

Sometimes it seems like we are always just handing out the candy. I wanted to do something to make it a special! (BTW - these are also perfect party favors for a Halloween bash!)

So here's what you'll need:

• Fun Halloween paper

• Clothes pins

• Ribbon

• Hot glue gun or other adhesive

• Small jewelry sacks

• Candy corns or other small treats

• Black ink

• A print-out of the Halloween sayings

Start out by hot gluing your ribbon to your clothes pins. I added these spooky spider embellishments. You could just tie another fun ribbon on the clothes pin if you can't find a fun embellishment like these.

-
Next cut your paper. For the background paper, I cut it to 3x6 and then I cut the word paper to fit.

-
After everything is cut, ink your edges. The messier the better on this. I think it gives it a fun spooky look.

-
Adhere your word tag to the background. Fill your little treats bags.

-
Stick your cute little clothes pin on the card to hold the treat bag in place.

-
And you're done. Now you have a fun little treat to hand out to your friends and neighbors.

-
I think I'm going to send my daughter with these to her preschool class.
