Skeleton Finger Bags: Trick or Treat?!

 Go ahead: 
Grab your trick or treat if you dare!  

But first, you'll have to free it from the skeleton's bony-fingered grasp.

Give your ghouls and goblins a Halloween party favor bag to remember with this easy tutorial:

You can use this tutorial to make clothespin Skeleton Fingers.

And then simply use a template to turn bewitching Halloween papers into treat bags:

Add a tag and spider webbing to turn up the cute-but-creepy factor.

The spine-tingling suspense-filled fun part is you never know if you're going to get a Trick...

...or a Treat! 

What fun things would you put inside these tricked out little bags? Don't reserve them only for the kids!

These creepy-cute Halloween party favor bags are so easy, it's hard to call this a tutorial. Simply download a treat bag template. I used this one on portrait mode. Cut your Halloween paper down to size. Score the lines on the bag template with a bone folder for crisp, easy folds, and glue together. It comes together quickly!

Add some distressed Stickles for a little bit of sparkle on the treat bag flaps, if you like. Clasp the bag closed with a clothespin Bony Finger.

The papers are so much fun! You can ink up tiny jewelry or garage sale tags to match your papers. Wrap it around the bony finger as a reminder to "Trick or Treat"...

...or bring on some fright: "Boo!"

Of course, treat bags are not the only thing you can use these functional bony clothespin Skeleton Fingers for...

You can create a garland or banner featuring them, like this Scary Movie Garland.

Are you ready for Halloween?
