Sweep Your Way Into Snacks: Broomstick Bags

These are a cute way to decorate the table, make place settings, or serve snacks/goodie bags for a Halloween party!

You will need:
  • Brown paper bag (1 per)
  • Raffia (a straw-like ribbon type of material)
  • Scissors
  • Sticks or Dowel rods
  • Spider rings (optional)
  • Filler (candy, treats, small toys, etc.)

Directions:
1. Cut about 2 inches from the top of the brown paper bag.
2. Fill with candy, toys, favors, etc.
3. Insert stick or dowel rod.
4. Tie bag closed around the stick with a piece of raffia.
5. Trim a bunch of raffia (about a handful) so it is the length of the paper bag.
6. Spread around the bag and tie with a piece of raffia.
 7. Attach the spider ring.

There's a bonus too! You can use it as a flying broom!
