Halloween Treat Bags

Halloween Treat Bags

Trick-or-Treat season just got a lot cuter with these treat bags adorned with Halloween designs made from Perler fuse beads.

Instructions

Step 1
Download/print the PDF for the project patterns. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size patterns underneath it. Place your beads, following the patterns.

Step 2
You will also need:
Treat bags Đ use purchased paper treat bags or make your own from felt
Craft glue

Step 3
Ask an adult to fuse your design. Place your pegboard on a flat, heat-safe surface. Set a household iron to the medium setting. Place ironing paper over the pegboard and bead design. In a circular motion, begin to iron the design. When ironed properly, the beads will still have open centers. Let the design cool.

Step 4
Remove the paper and bead design from the pegboard. Flip the design over to expose the non-fused side. Repeat the fusing. Let cool completely. Once the design is cool, peel off the ironing paper. Your pegboard and ironing paper are reusable.

Note: Beads need heat for about 10-20 seconds per side to fuse evenly. Lift the paper occasionally to see how the beads are fusing. Additional heating time may be required.

Step 5
If you choose to make your own treat bags from felt, cut two rectangles and sew them together using a machine stitch or decorative hand stitching such as blanket stitch.

Step 6
Glue the fuse bead designs to the treat bags.
