For my 'ribbon cutting' project I went with a simply simple treat bag for Halloween



From Michael's craft store I purchased this inexpensive tote bag and felt bat...
 together it was less than $5.  I kept the design basic by adding lengths
of Black/White Swiss Dot ribbon to the sides and then adding a row of the
puffy Bat Trim to just the bottom.  Two large buttons at the top finished the look.

After gluing the bat in place, I outlined the shape with a fabric glue and
Black/White Baker's Twine.  I gave him pom pom eyes and a pom pom nose...I
love how adding these pieces made him even more whimsical!
A pretty Orange/White Oval bow, a candy corn button by Dress-It Up
and my "Batty Bat Bag" is complete!

May Arts products used: 5/8" Grosgrain Dots Ribbon; Satin Cutouts-Bats;
1.5" Grosgrain w/ Ribbon White Oval; 2mm Baker's Twine

    FUN batty treat bag Shellye!!!
    LOVE all the little extras you have added to make it super special, like the twine outline on the bat to match the dotty ribbon edge and the cute tiny teenie bats along the bottom :)
