Trick or Treat Candy Bag

Halloween is just a few days away, and even though I'm a little behind in posting some of the great creations I've come up with over the past couple of months I wanted to share a great reusable trick or treat bag I came up for my son. Made with the Trick and Treat by Doodlebug Design fabric collection for Riley Blake I came up with my own original design for my son to put his candy in on Halloween. Instead of using a plastic bucket or an old pillow case I let him choose his favorite photos from the panel I purchased and went from there. Compared to all the quilts I put together this seemed fairly easy. My little man is in love with it! He's already been toting it around the house putting empty Pez dispensers and water bottles inside it. I made one three year old the happiest little boy on earth. I'll have to post a photo of him in his costume toting his bag on Halloween. I'm just happy that he'll have a bag he can look forward to using in the years to come.

Happy Halloween!
