Fall Craft Ideas: Simple Thanksgiving Treat Bags

Sharing is caring!

Kelley from The Grant Life is back today and guest posting! She is sharing a fun fall craft idea. You guys know how much I love a crafty tutorial.

Fall is here and Thanksgiving is right around the corner.   I am hosting my first Thanksgiving at our house this year and I have already started planning everything out.   We have the food covered so I have moved onto decorations.   We plan on having a kids table and I am hoping to put a bunch of fun things for them to do together.

I’m going to share a simple craft that is not only easy and kid friendly but makes a yummy decoration too!

These treat bags are great because they look fancy but are so simple to make.

All you need to make the bags are:

  • Clear plastic treat bags
  • Double sided tape
  • Cardstock
  • Plus your favorite treat to fill the bags

I used pumpkin and leaf cutout cookies because I’m going to have the kids decorate them sometime during the day.   It might be fun to put little games or toys in the bags as well.

There are only three simple steps to make these bags:

  1. Fill bag and cut off excess
  2. Place double sided tape on each side
  3. Fold cardstock onto tape and crease

I added a festive stamp to the cardstock but it would be fun to let the kids color that part too.

Here are some links to similar stamps:

These bags are very versatile.

This is an inexpensive craft that would be fun to do with your kids and can used for any occasion.

The breakdown of the cost:

  • Bags – $2
  • Cardstock – $2 [on sale]
  • Double sided tape – $5

I cant wait to show off these adorable treat bags on Thanksgiving!  The bags may last that long but I’m sure the cookies inside will be gone.
