Witch Warts Treat Bag Topper

The 7 Days of Halloween Treat Packs

Day 6

These treat packs are easy to make (downloadable artwork) and are fun to give out as Halloween treats to your trick-or-treaters, school parties for those little ones or to just have around to give to guest visiting during that time. Be sure to collect them all!

Supplies:

• Raisins
• Artwork (download below)
• White Card Stock
• 4" x 6" Clear Reclosable Bag (check your local craft store or Walmart) or
• Clear candy/gift bags or Halloween decorated candy/gift bags (check your local party store, craft store, Walmart or Dollar Tree)
• Paper cutter or scissors
• Stapler
• Clear tape

Basic Instructions for 4" x 6" Bag:

The artwork contains 6 folder over tags that are 4" x 3" unfolded, 4" x 1.5" folded. Print out the number you need and follow the cut lines to cut out each one.

Put 1/4 cup or more of raisins into the reclosable bag and seal. Take the label and fold in half, put over the top of the bag and staple above the reclosable area.

If you are using a clear/Halloween decorated candy/gift bag, cut the bag down to size to hold the chocolate chips, with enough to fold over twice and then staple the tag on.

NOTE: Since mine only filled about 1/2 of the reclosable bag, I shook the raisins to the top, folded the back up and taped it and then added the topper as instructed above.

Patio Umbrella Holder

In the hunt for an patio umbrella holder for my new patio set, I came across an idea of using a large clay flower pot. So, I proceeded to make a list of supplies I would need for this project.

SUPPLIES:

• 10" or 12" Clay Pot (I purchased mine from Lowe's for about $10.00)
• Duct Tape
• Quick Drying Cement (Also purchased at Lowe's)
• PVC Pipe
  Only needs to be as tall as the pot and no more than an inch higher than the pot and wide enough that your umbrella will fit down inside the pipe.
• Optional - I picked up some jewel stones from the Dollar Store. And I had some leftover rope from another project that I used to decorate mine.
  Decorative Stones, River Rocks, Jewels
  Outdoor, Waterproof, Clear Contact Cement

ASSEMBLY DIRECTIONS:

Clean the clay pot to remove any dirt or other residue. Let dry completely.

If you are decorating the extended edge of the pot, do this now and let set for 24 hours, or you may wait and decorate after the cement has cured, see step 7.

If there is a whole in the bottom of the pot, tape over the hole, both inside and outside of the pot, making sure it is covered completely.

Now tape over the end of the PVC pipe that will be down inside of the pot. This keep the cement from seeping inside of the pipe.

This part you will need some help with. Mix your cement in a can so that you can pour it. Have your helper place the PVC pipe with the taped end into your pot, making sure the pipe is centered in your pot. With your helper holding the pipe securely, pour the cement into the pot around the PVC pipe. Fill the pot leaving 1-1/2 to 2" space at the top. Hold the pipe for approximately 5 minutes so the cement is set.

Let your cement cure for at least 24 hours.

Once your cement is cured, you can proceed to decorate the outside of the pot and the inside top of the pot. Be sure that anything you use for decorations is Outdoor Approved!

Once all decorations are complete and set, place under your table and insert your umbrella.

The possibilities for this are endless, limited only by your imaginations.

Enjoy!
