MATERIALS
+9" orange tulle circles
+ 1 ⁄ 8 "-wide ribbon in black and
purple
+Small rubber band
+Candy
+Freestanding lace charms
(amount as desired)

CONSTRUCT



  • Cut an 18" length of each color of
    ribbon.

  • Place one or two tulle circles on a
    flat work surface. Two tulle circles
    will create a brighter color effect.

  • Place a handful of candy in the
    center of the tulle circle.

  • Lift the edges of the tulle circle and
    gather them together above the
    candy, aligning the edges and cre-
    ating a pouch. Temporarily secure
    with a small rubber band.

  • Wrap the black ribbon around the
    gathered section of the tulle, cross
    the ends, and pass the upper end
    over the lower end. Pull tight.

  • Thread the purple ribbon through
    the charm eyelet.

    • Wrap the purple ribbon around the
      gathered section of the tulle, posi-
      tioning the charm in front. Cross the
      ends and pass the upper end over
      the lower end. Pull tight in the same
      spot as the black ribbon.

    • Treating the black and purple rib-
      bons ends as one, tie a bow. Trim
      the ribbon ends if necessary so
      they’re even.

    • Repeat to create as many treat bags
      as desired.

    side of it. Open using a twisting
    motion so the ring takes on a spiral
    shape (A).
