Creepy Treat Bags
Planning a Halloween party? Make these spooky spider bags so your guests can take home their treats in style.
1. Halloween parties are lots of fun! To send holiday haunting fun home with your guests, create these Halloween treat bags with brown paper lunch bags. Make enough for all your guests. They're great for table decorations, too!
2. Cover your art area with recycled newspaper. Crumple the bags well. Dilute black Crayola® Washable Kid's Paint with water. Stand over a sink and pour the diluted paint over the bags. Rinse crumpled bags well. Set aside to air dry in a warm breeze.
3. Fill the dry bags with holiday treats. Tie a few strands of raffia and a short length of black yarn around the bags' tops. Use Crayola Gel Markers to draw a large spider web on each bag. Air dry.
4. Add a few drops of Crayola Glitter Glue to the webs to look like droplets of water. Air-dry the glue.
5. Use Crayola Model Magic compound to sculpt spiders for your treat bags. Shape a round abdomen and a scary face. Ask an adult to help you use Crayola Scissors to cut four chenille stems in half for each spider. Push the stems into spiders' bodies, so the legs are an equal length on each side. Bend the stems so they look like legs.
6. Use a Crayola Colored Pencil to push a hole into the spider's abdomen. Tie a knot in the end of the black yarn connected to the bag. Poke the knot into the spider's abdomen. Pinch the Model Magic closed around the yarn to attach the spider to the bag.
7. Paint your spider with a Crayola Paint Brush. Set it away from the bag as it dries. Add details to your spider with Glitter Glue and Gel Markers. Air-dry the sparkles. You're ready to party!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Glitter Glue—
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.
Crayola Modeling Materials including Crayola Model Magic®, and Model Magic Fusion™, Crayola Air-Dry Clay, and Crayola Dough—
- Keep away from open flames. Do not use to make candleholders, hot plates, trivets, or other similar objects that will be used or placed near fire and other heat sources.
- Do not put in an oven, microwave, or kiln.
- Do not make into vessels/containers that will hold unpackaged food.
- The use of modeling material to make items that look like food is discouraged for children younger than age 5 to avoid their confusion with real food.
- Unless sealed with a water-resistant glaze, do not make projects exposed to or immersed in water, such as boats or outdoor bird feeders. They would disintegrate when exposed to moisture.
- Crayola Dough—contains gluten (wheat flour) as an ingredient.
- Crayola Air-Dry Clay, Crayola Model Magic and Model Magic Fusion are gluten-free. However, they are produced on the same machinery as Crayola Dough which does contain gluten. Although the machines are cleaned prior to the start of each production run, there is a slight possibility that trace amounts of gluten from Crayola Dough may be present in the other modeling compound products. For information regarding specific ingredients or allergic concerns, please call our Consumer Affairs department at 1-800-272-9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Standard Time.
Crayola Washable Paints—Not for use as body/face paint.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
