cut orange star patterned paper into two pieces, 2 ¼” x 5 ¼” and 4” x 1 ¼”



cut grey cardstock to ¾” x 3 ½”



cut black cardstock with decorative edge scissors to approximately 1” x 3 ¾”



onto cut grey cardstock and the 4”x 1 ¼” orange star paper stamp the “happy haunting” words using the clear embossing ink, while ink is still wet pour black embossing powder over the inked words, shake excess embossing powder back into jar, heat the powder with the heat tool until it melts (careful not to over heat it)



with a foam brush paint the front and sides of the chipboard skull and bookplate with white acrylic paint, while the paint is still wet pour glitter on top, let dry



with another foam brush paint the front and sides of the five chipboard stars with black paint, while the paint is still wet pour glitter on top, let dry



 



Assemble first bag:



on one of the folded black striped papers adhere the 2 ¼” x 5 ¼” orange star paper



adhere the grey ¾” x 3 ½” cardstock with embossed stamped words onto the decorative trimmed 1 x 1 ¾” black cardstock and then adhere that at an angle to the folded bag topper



using foam dots adhere the chipboard skull and three of the stars to the bag topper

fill one zip top bag with candy



slip the top of the zip top bag between the folds of the bag topper and punch holes on both sides of the topper using the hole punch, make sure the holes go through all layers of papers and the plastic bag



put the white brads through the holes and open them up in the back, this will hold the bag in place



 



Assemble second bag:



adhere 4” x 1 ¼” orange star paper with stamped embossed words to the back side of the chipboard bookplate so the words show through the opening

slip the top of the zip top bag between the folds of the bag topper and punch holes at both ends of the bookplate using the hole punch, make sure the holes go through all layers of papers and the plastic bag
