Home Matters Linky Party Guidelines:

We are thrilled that you came by to link up today! Here are a few rules that hosts and co-hosts of the Home Matters Party follow, and we ask that you follow them, as well.
  1. Please link up no more than THREE posts each week--try to make sure that they are new links that you have not shared here previously. (Exception: Holiday/Seasonal specific posts may be shared once per year.)
  1. Please take some time to poke around and visit some of the other links.
  1. Please take some time to check out your hosts and co-hosts on social media.
  1. We appreciate the variety of blogs on the www; however, the Home Matters Party is for links on matters of the HOME. Please link accordingly.
  1. We ask that you do not add other Linky Parties, Blog Hops, or Giveaways--unless you begin the party with a new project, recipe or post.
  1. On the same note, please do not add links of an extremist, political or strong controversial nature. (The hosts and co-hosts read each and every blog post linked, and will contact you directly if you have linked something that does not fit into the realm of the party.)
With your help, we can continue to grow the Home Matters Party! Thank you!

10 Halloween Treat bag ideas

Have you purchased candies for trick or treaters??How do you usually distribute them to kids? Do you just keep them in a bowl and ask them to take it or do you put them in a halloween themed packaging to surprise the kids? If you fall under the second category , you are probably searching for some ideas.So today I am sharing 10 cute ideas for trick or treat bags.  



Let's first deal with all the pumpkin themed ideas.


Easy Tissue Paper Pumpkin Favors - One little project 
This tissue paper pumpkin idea is so simple and easy as the picture says and it is pretty straight forward.


DIY Balloon Pumpkin Patch -Hostess with the Mostess blog




Who doesn't love some cheese puffs instead of some candies. Kristyn(from Lil'Luna) has designed this for halloween movie night but I think this will be apt for trick or treat too if you are looking for something to give to the kids instead of candies.







DIY Halloween Favor Bags - Love the day

When you add some character to your normal treat bags, they turn into a fun creatures which are perfect for halloween.



Halloween Treat Bags - Jennifer Mcguire ink




If you feel the monster bags(Above) are too much of work for you, you can use black and silver sharpie's to draw some spooky creatures and write some the sentiments.




DIY Trick or Treat bags - Lil Blue Boo

You just need kraft paper and one additional supply to make this treat bags, it is either a sewing machine or a stapler



I love this mini containers as treat bags.Do you ?



How fun it will be for kids to pull the string to see what's inside?



These treat holders are from a woodland party themed post but I thought this will be a fun for halloween. These are silhouette files and not a free template.




Halloween Hershey Nugget Treats - It's Written on the walls

If you are a scrapbook addict, you will like these hershey's nuggets "Boo", "eek" treats.These are not free templates too .



Hope you liked all these treat bags ideas.Share your thoughts about these treat bags or some of your memories about halloween in the comments below. As always I will be happy to hear from you.
