Which Halloween treat bag should we make?
A round little ghost
The easy design uses one complete white ghost, black eyes and pink cheeks. Its compact shape sits on the bag front, with a personal To / From tag above it.
A bat with folded wings
The medium design has a 16 cm wing span and two 1 cm glue tabs. The shallow wing folds add depth without hiding the opening or attaching to the side gussets.
A witch with layered details
The more challenging design combines a pointed hat, green face, accordion hair, purple cloak and fringed broom. The complete character sits below the handles.
Measure width, depth and height
The reference bought bag is 16 cm wide × 8 cm deep × 20 cm high. Check the front face is at least 16 × 20 cm, excluding the handles and side panels. The separate Small S patterns fit a 13 × 7 × 18 cm bag. S is already resized; print either set at 100%.
Want to make the paper bag itself?
A separate Halloween project, starting with one purple sheet of paper.

Fold a ghost-and-pumpkin Halloween treat bag
No ready-made bag is needed. Turn one purple A4 or US Letter sheet into a small open-top Halloween bag measuring 8.5 cm wide × 4 cm deep × 14 cm high.
Add a white ghost, draw its eyes and mouth in black, and finish with an orange pumpkin tag and green stem. The English PDF shows the 12 mm side seam, folded top hems and four base flaps. A full-size landscape net includes a 5 cm calibration bar. This is a cut-fold-glue craft, with no handles.
Use it for a note or a few lightweight wrapped treats. The small bag and the 16 cm handled-bag decorations are separate projects; the large character patterns do not fit this mini bag.
See the bag-from-scratch guide →Before making your gift bags
Does the bag opening stay at the top?
Yes. All four projects are upright gift bags with an open top and a closed bottom. They are designed for giving light gifts, rather than operating as hand puppets.
Do I need a colour printer?
No. Follow the colour illustrations on screen and trace the outline patterns onto the named paper colours. Print at Actual size / 100% and check the 5 cm bar.
Can the bag-from-scratch net fit A4 and US Letter?
Yes. The net is 262 × 192 mm, supplied on a landscape page. Its panels form an 85 × 40 × 140 mm bag. Follow the cut lines, folds and glue order; do not use Fit to page.
What can I put in the bags?
Use lightweight small gifts or individually wrapped treats. Follow a bought bag's original load limit. Support the handmade mini bag underneath; no carrying load has been certified.
