Halloween is the perfect time for children to show their creativity and making their own trick or treat bags is a great place to start! Anyone who knows me knows I don’t sew.  This tutorial shows you 2 no-sew options:  one is making a treat bag from a pillowcase and the second is taking a canvas or cotton bag and decorating with a faux no-sew appliqué method.

Step 9) Embellish the appliquéd shape as you wish. I put felt eyes on my ghost with fabric glue. It would be easy to step it up a bit by adding “stitch” marks with a fabric marker or paint.
