For a while now, I’ve been trying to figure out what to do for little man’s class for Halloween this year. I wanted to do something cute that they would enjoy receiving, but that isn’t a bag-full of sugar! Plus, he’s in school at our church, so anything too scary or blatantly “Halloween” isn’t allowed. The idea for these candy envelopes came about while perusing Michael’s one day. They were having a huge sale, so I snatched up a stamp, paint, ribbon, and stickers. Here’s what I ended up with:
What do you guys think? I really wanted these to be for those delicious candy apple pops or pixie sticks – neither of which I could find at my grocery store. So, blow pops it is! I think for his class, I’ll actually give out dum dums because they’re all still so little, I don’t want them choking on gum. But, that’s the awesome thing about these, you can use them for almost any candy!
Here’s What You’ll Need:
File Folders
Halloween or Autumn Words Stamp
Ink Pad or Paint & Brush
Halloween Ribbon
Martha Stewart Crafts Halloween Stickers
Hot Glue Gun
Paper Cutter

Wow! These are so cute, and my hat’s off to you for taking the time to do this! At first I thought you were doing them for all the trick or treaters, and I was getting ready to bow down and say *I’m not worthy*, but I see you’re keeping it real and limiting the amount you’re making ;).
