TREAT CUPS
Select your favourite colour of cup and dress it up as a bat, monster or pumpkin! Stick on some googly eyes and use markers to complete your creation. For the full tutorial, click here. We have a variety of paper cups available over on our website in solid colours, stripes, black with a marble effect or geometric patterns. Use your imagination and go wild here.
CHARACTER TREAT BOXES
With colourful cardstock and a bit of glue you can create these cute treat boxes in minutes. Want to make treat bags for the whole classroom at school? It's super easy. Try to do a single colour design as this will be easier to assemble. Remember that you will need to place your candy in a little plastic bag so that they don’t leave spots on your work of art. Full tutorial available from here.
TREAT BAGS WITH FREE PRINTABLES
You can either use a patterned or solid colour treat bag. We have a wide selection of party bags available at Party Camel – from solid colours, to stripes and even scary skeleton hands! Once you have selected your treat bags, you will need to attach googly eyes. Print a Pumpkin Stem, Frankenstein Hair and Bat Wings all printables available from here. Once you have your printouts ready, cut and stick to create spooktacular characters! Fill with candy and impress your friends!
