Tricked Out Treat Bags

These bags are nothing but treats—they look great, hold lots of loot and are easy to make with a Cricut Maker Machine. Go spooky with a “BOO”-tiful ghost, keep it cute with a smiling jack-o-lantern, or stay sweet with candies, candies, and more candies. Either way, a happy Halloween is in the bag.
