These darling googly eye treat bags are perfect for holding sweet treats and more, and they are a Halloween craft project that can be made quickly and easily in just a few simple steps and with just a few basic supplies. And best of all? The eyes are glow in the dark, making these a super fun treat to hand out to the little ghosts and goblins who knock on your door on Halloween night!

This project originally appeared on Live. Craft. Love.

For this project, you will need…

  • 9×12″ black felt sheet
  • Shears
  • Pinking shears (optional)
  • Button hole cutter (optional)
  • White thread or fabric glue
  • Darice glow-in-the-dark googly eyes
  • Hot glue
  • Darice Oh So Trendy Ribbon – 5/8″ Geometric Orange/Sungold
  • Darice Oh So Trendy Ribbon – 5/8″ Geometric Tangerine/White

To begin, use the shears to cut the felt sheet in half lengthwise.

If desired, pink the short edges of the piece, as shown. (This is completely optional, but it adds fun dimension to the finished bags.)

Using the button hole tool (or a sharp pair of scissors, make 4 equally spaced 1/2″ slits about 3/4″ from each of the short edges of the piece.

Fold the felt piece in half widthwise, so that the short ends meet. If using a sewing machine, stitch along the side edges of the treat bag with either a straight or a decorative edge, leaving the top opening of the bag unstitched. (I opted to use my machine’s blanket stitch.) To make this project completely no-sew, use fabric glue to seal each of the side edges.

Use hot glue to affix 3 pairs of googly eyes to the front of the bag.

To finish, cut a 24″ strand of ribbon, and thread it through the slits at the top of the bag to form a drawstring.
