Step One:

Cut your paper to 8 1/2 by 6 inches.

Step Two:

Score on the long side, the 8 1/2 in side at 2 inch, 4inch, 6 inch and at 8 inches. Then turn your paper to the 6 inch side and score at 2 inches.

 

 

 

 

 

Step Three:

Turn your paper so you can see the four squares at the bottom. Using your scissors or cutter cut from the bottom of the paper on the score line up to the 2 inch score line. When you get to the very last cut you can just cut that section off because you will not need it. Shown below.

 

 

 

 

Step Four:

Fold on all the score line using a bone folder to ensure a nice crisp fold.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step Five:

Put adhesive or scor tape on the flaps shown. Don't forget the smaller flap all the way to the left!

Step Six:
Remove the backing from the adhesive if you are using red sticky tape or scor tape. Take the square to the far left and line it up with the score lines from the square right nest to it, it would be the one without adhesive on it.

 

 

 

 

 

Continue lining up the squares as shown. The third square fits right on top of the previous square.

 

 

 

 

 

Put the flap inside and adhere before lining the last square up on the bottom, it just seemed easier that way!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step Seven:
One all the sides and flap have been adhered, make sure the seam from the flap is in the back of the bag. With the bag facing you, squeeze the top front and back together to give it a little crease.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step Eight:
With your 4 inch piece of ribbon fold the ribbon over so you have a V shape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put Halloween Candy in your bag! Now Squeeze the bag together again and staple your ribbon on the bag, this will also keep your bag closed.

And... YAHOO! You have yourself a super cute Halloween Treat Bag!
