If you need a last minute quick and easy treat or favor, try these Easy Halloween Trick or Tweet Candy Treats.  When I got out my Halloween decorations, I found a very old version of this candy treat! Here it is updated with the Trick or Tweet Stamp Set!  I’m going to miss these little guys when Halloween is over!  They were so much fun to stamp and color!

You won’t believe how easy these treats are to make! Just cut a strip of cardstock 1 3/4″ x 5 1/2″.  Score at 2 1/4″ and 3 1/4″.  Fold on the score lines. Stamp and color whatever images you like for the front and punch or cut out in a square or circle shape.  I used the 1 1/2″ Circle Punch for these. If you wanted to be fancier you could put a layer behind the image and even a very small greeting. Punch two holes and thread some ribbon through and tie in a knot.  I used the Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Double-Stitched Ribbon.

For coloring the images, use whatever you like!  I LOVE the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers, but I also like the Watercolor Pencils.  If you wanted to save time, you could just stamp the image in a color and not color in at all!  It could even be monochromatic if it matched the cardstock color!

If you are making these for cute little party favors, then maybe you want to fancy them up a bit…..or make them larger for larger pieces of candy.  Just to give to Trick-or-Treaters, just keep them simple!  Put some adhesive in that center space and adhere some candy.  I think nuggets would work well or two of these miniature candy bars! Be careful that the adhesive isn’t touching the part of the candy you would eat. It wouldn’t hurt for the candy to hang out on the sides either!

If you are working at the last minute on Halloween treats or projects, this one just might save you! These are fun to make and only take a minute or two!

Happy Halloween!

If you want to fancy up your candy bowl a little, try this Halloween Candy Bowl Decoration!  Get yourself some kind of small bowl, dish, or container and make something like a tag or miniature card, essentially, to decorate the bowl for the holiday!

I just took the 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon and wrapped around the candy bowl. Actually, I used some velcro to hold the ribbon together thinking that I could maybe make a Christmas decoration and change it out on the same bowl.  But you could also just use some Mini Glue Dots or something to hold the ribbon on to the bowl if you wanted to.

For the Halloween decoration, I stamped the dog from the Trick or Tweet Stamp Set in the Holiday Catalog on Whisper White Cardstock and colored him in with Stampin’ Blends. I love those Stampin’ Blends Markers!  So relaxing to color with these alcohol markers.  I also stamped and colored the tiny little jack-o-lantern. Then I cut these both out by hand.  I also cut out a pumpkin from the Toil & Trouble Designer Paper as well as the little bat.

The greeting is stamped with the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set and ultimately I decided to just cut all the words apart to fit them onto the decoration easier.  The full moon is cut with the 1″ Circle Punch out of Crushed Curry Cardstock.  I just glued all these pieces onto a piece of Granny Apple Green Cardstock, punched with the 2″ Circle Punch. This is then layered on a piece of Gold Glimmer Paper die cut with one of the Layering Circles Dies.  I adhered this decoration to the burlap ribbon with a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For a finishing touch, I couldn’t resist tying on a piece of the beautiful, sparkly Black 5/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon.  You’ve got to have this lovely ribbon to use on projects!  It’s for more than Halloween, too!

Find a candy bowl in your stash or at the craft store or even the dollar store and decorate it for Halloween! I bet it will make the candy even more enticing (not that we need that!).
