Faux Quilted Halloween Treat Containers

Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year!  I love handing out candy and seeing all of the cute costumes that the kids are wearing.  The fun shouldn’t stop just because you’re not a kid anymore, so I have created these cute recycled Halloween Treat Containers from empty powdered drink mix canisters!  Some Faux Quilting with Ann Butler’s Unity Stamps embellished with fibers, tags and stickers creates a simple gift for co-workers and neighbors!

Here’s how I made it…

Instructions:

1.)  Place 2″ square Faux Quilting stamp on acrylic block, ink with Night and stamp on sewing pattern with scrap paper underneath.  Repeat alternating stamps and ink colors until you have created a rectangle 2 squares tall by 5 squares long.

2.) Next, place 1″ triangle Faux Quilting stamp on acrylic block, ink with Tangelo and stamp above first square.  Repeat, alternating stamps and ink colors until you have created a border above and below the original rectangular pattern.

3.)  Cut out Faux Quilted pattern, run adhesive on back and attach to container by placing the front center on first, then wrapping the edges around to the back.

4.)  Decorate with fibers, tag, letter and Halloween stickers.

5.)  Then, fill with candy and give out as gifts!
