Directions:
Now, let’s get into the exciting part—crafting your own Monster Hand Treat Bags! Our step-by-step guide below will have you whipping up these spooky goodie bags in no time.
- First thing first -pull out FIVE Hershey kisses per gift bag you are making.
- Put one Hershey Kiss in each fingertip of the glove. These are the fingernails of your hand and will help give your treat bags some structure.
- Next up – go to town and fill the glove up with the remaining Halloween goodies. I suggest putting a good chunk of crinkle paper in the center of the glove, if you are trying to limit the sweet treats you are putting in the bag. It’s good filler!
- Once you have them filled, tie off the glove with a piece of ribbon.
- Now admire your work, because you are done!
- Repeat for as many as you want.
- Then give away your “Monster Hand” Treat Bags for others to enjoy!
Tips to Personalize Your Monster Hands:
Want to take your creations to the next level? Check out these customization ideas:
- Glow-in-the-Dark – Use glow-in-the-dark stickers or paint to give your treat bags an eerie glow at night.
- Themes – Tailor your monster hands to fit your party theme. For instance, use green candies and trinkets to recreate Frankenstein’s hands or white items for skeleton hands.
- Non-Candy Versions – If you want a sugar-free option, fill the bags with small toys like spider rings, glow sticks, erasers, or mini notebooks. Great for a classroom-friendly treat!
- Edible Fingers – Line the fingers with surgical precision using pretzel sticks or licorice ropes for a sinister snack twist.
