A twosome years agone I made some trick-or-treat bags for my kids that were basically 2 pieces of cloth sewn together alongside a grip on each side. But I speedily realized that these bags weren't going to function really well: they dragged on the flooring when the kids were belongings them downwards past times their side, in addition to my youngest wasn't coordinated plenty to opened upwards the purse alongside both handles to seat the candy in. So this yr I got a petty smarter in addition to made (what I intend is) the perfect trick-or-treat purse for immature hands! They bring 1 handle, a squeamish big opening that stays opened upwards hence the candy tin flaming survive easily dropped in, in addition to they're brusk plenty that they don't drag when held downwards to your side. AND they nevertheless bring plenty of room to fill upwards up alongside candy. The perfect bag!

What you'll need:
- About 20"x23" felt
- 1"x27" contrasting coloring felt (for exceed lining)
- Small total of felt for pumpkin/ghost/bat

In the gist of a 20"x20" foursquare of felt, depict a circle. I simply traced a newspaper plate that was close 4" inwards diameter.
I pretty much simply eyeballed this part. Divide the circle inwards half dozen in addition to depict half dozen petal shapes (mine were close 8" long).
Cut that slice out, cutting the petal shapes all the agency to the circle, in addition to then cutting 1 slice that is 3"x13.5" for the grip in addition to some other 1"x27" slice of felt alongside a contrasting coloring for the lining of the exceed of the bag.
Now get sewing the petals together. I sewed mine alongside incorrect sides together because I wanted the stitching to show. I simply used a zig zag stitch, but if you're lucky plenty to bring a surger you lot could purpose that too.
You terminate upwards alongside an awkward looking upside downwards bakers hat.
Trim the exceed of the bag.
Pin the lining on to the exceed of the bag.
Then stitch it on. I used a zig zag stitch again.

The kids chose which Halloween figure they wanted on their bag, in addition to then I cutting them out of felt in addition to used a gum gun to gum them on. You tin flaming impress out the ikon below if you lot desire 1 of those.
And at that spot you lot bring it! Three petty pirates who are all develop to become trick-or-treating :)
