14 DIY Trick or Treat Bags for Halloween

September 10, 2020 by Laura 1 Comment

Last Updated on April 23, 2021

Halloween is the perfect holiday for some DIY. I love getting my boys involved in making their costumes, or prepping some fun & spooky decor. So instead of the classic grocery tote or pillowcase, why not send the kiddos out with one of these super creative DIY trick or treat bags too?

So, ok. We don’t know yet if Halloween is cancelled this year. I mean, it’s 2020, so it seems likely.

But I suspect a lot of families are still going to try to do something fun for their kids. Maybe a scavenger hunt around the house, or the cousins coming over for a family party. Maybe neighbours will band together and leave little packets of treats on their doorsteps for each other.

If there’s anything 2020 has taught us so far, it’s that we are resilient and we will find a way! So I believe the kiddos will still need trick or treat bags to collect their goodies.

Here are 14 awesome DIY trick or treat bags you can make to create an extra special Halloween experience!

You could easily make the cat a different colour and use this bag any other time of the year too.

13. Hexie Candy Piece Tote

For this to be a trick or treat tote bag for kids, you’d probably want to lengthen the straps and adjust their positioning. But that’s not a difficult alteration. And look at those happy little hexies! (For more hexie projects, check out 16 EPP Hexie Projects to Sew.)

The simple lines of quilting add a nice detail to these designs!
