What you need

How to make the Halloween Loot Bags
- Simply lay out a pillowcase for each loot bag.
- Make a hem at the top of each pillowcase by folding over the top opening and sewing a seam in place, leaving both ends open to allow for the ribbon.
- Thread the ribbon through the seam and tie in a knot, slide the knot through inside the seam for neatness, and sew the hem shut to secure.
- Ask the kids to choose what they would like on their loot bag – pumpkin, witches hat, spiders web, ghosts and spider webs.
- Use the fabric pen to outline the picture on the pillowcase. If the kids are old enough, get them to do this themselves.
- With the outline complete, get the kids to fill it in using glitter, table confetti, markers etc.
- When each child is finished, you can identify each loot bag with each child’s name with the fabric markers.
- Leave to dry.
Pretty simple art and crafts that will keep the kids busy for a little while. Have fun!
