Halloween is around the corner, so I wanted to share a quick and
easy way to create some Halloween Treat Bags which have a surprise element
using the Peekaboo Windows and sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
My main goal was to create something fast and easy to add to the Halloween treat bags which I filled with some candy and thought these cute
little tags would be perfect for family and friends at work.
Here, I pulled out the Stitched Essentials 1 and used all three tags from the collection using some white card stock. Keep in mind, I die cut the tags as a solid piece. Next, I grabbed the new Peekaboo Windows and placed them on top of the tags where I wanted the windows. Added some acetate behind it.
For the base of the tag, I die cut three more solid tags and
stamped inside using the new Halloween
Friends set along with the Coordinating Dies which makes it easy to cut them out. Plus, this set has so many cute images that I love.
For me, I love using fun foam to create shakers, so I ran all
three tag dies again, but with the white fun foam. Once again, I placed the Peekaboo
Windows on top of the foam to run them through the die
cutting machine. I love how it cuts out beautifully. You can use foam mount tape as well to create the shaker.
Since the Peekaboo
Windows create a score line on top, I used a craft knife to
cut out the remainder leaving me with a view. At this point, I decided to use
several sequin colors starting with 4mm
Tangerine, 4mm Sugar
Plum Mix, 4mm
Mossy Green, and a touch of 4mm
Sparkling clear sequins.
As I
was playing around, I thought these Autumn
Seed Beads would
be great to add as a shaker element since I love the way they shake inside.
Added some twine in various colors to each tag to add some more details.
Since I was
opening and closing these Peekaboo
Windows, I
wanted a way to keep the panel closed until the person received it. Therefore,
I added some foam mount tape under the center of the bat and under the left
wing only.
This way,
the right wing is used to keep the window closed until the party opens up for a
little surprise.
Again, these were fast and easy to make and can't wait until
they receive their Halloween treat bags along with their little surprise
element and help from these Stitched
Essentials 1 die and Peekaboo Windows from Pretty Pink
Posh
