Trick or Treat bag instructions

Make Trick or Treat bags by gluing one of the ruffled postcards onto an orange gift bag. Then tie a trick or treat word tag onto one of the handles with some black ribbon.

PUMPKIN TIP: Add some glitter to your display with shimmer. To start, cut out a lid and carve a face into your pumpkin. Paint the top of the lid and the outside of the pumpkin with white glue (excluding the bottom). Sprinkle the pumpkin with glitter and leave to dry. Brush off any loose glitter. Adding red or even pink glitter into the orange gives the colour more depth.
