DLTK's Halloween Crafts for Kids:
Pumpkin Candy Pouches

There are two options to this craft... one's a bit easier than the other.  These are cute to give out to kids at school or at the door.

OPTION 1 - easier (Pictured above)

Materials:

  • Orange Tissue paper
  • Black construction paper
  • green yarn
  • small wrapped candies (I can fit one chocolate bar and a variety of small candies in this pouch)

Instructions:

  • Cut a square of tissue paper about 6"x6"
      
  • Pile some candies in the center
      
  • Bunch up the edges and tie with yarn
      
  • Cut face pieces out of black construction paper and glue to 'pumpkin'
      

  
OPTION 2

Materials:

  • Orange Tissue paper or crepe paper
  • round balloon
  • Black construction paper or marker
  • white glue and paint brush
  • small wrapped candies

Instructions:

  • Blow up balloon so it's fairly small  (I usually blow it up all the way and then let air out... this makes it rounder)
      
  • Cut strips of tissue paper about 1 inch wide by 4 inches long
      
  • 'paint' white glue onto the balloon with the paint brush (you can dilute 1/2 glue and 1/2 water or just use the glue at full strength, depending on how many of these you're doing).
      
  • Lay the strips of tissue paper onto the balloon, covering completely except for a hole at the top where the balloon tie is.
      
  • When dry, pop the balloon and take out the pieces through the hole.
      
  • Insert small wrapped candies through the hole.
      
  • glue a square of tissue paper over the hole.
      
  • With a black marker or cut out pieces of construction paper make a face.
