It is almost Halloween! And, because of this, I thought it might be fun to make little treat gift bags for my monthly Make & Take class that I host at work. Not only to thank everyone for coming, but to give them another project idea.
I made this simple mini Halloween spider web-embbossed gift bag using the Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge, and then running it through my Cuttlebug with the Fiskars Webbing texture plate. The effect is very cute! I had found some spider web ribbon at my local discount store for under $1 and thought it would be a great embellishment.

I used half of an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of Whisper White Stampin' Up cardstock because it is thick and sturdy. I cut out my gift bag template (pg. 115 of the cartridge booklet) at 4" and was able to get two boxes out of each piece of cardstock. After scoring where indicated and running through my Cuttlebug with the embossing plate, I used quick dry liquid adhesive to secure the box together. You could also use 1/8" sticky strip tape.
Since I have to make 30 of these little bags, I opted not to add an additional message, but you could easily add a sentiment to the front.
The best part about this mini gift bag is that with a change in the ribbon, paper color, or texture plate, you could customize it for any occasion! It would be great as a baby shower favor.
