Do you want a trick or a treat?

 Today is the day for the next STAMPOTIQUE DESIGNERS challenge which is to make a trick or treat bag/container.
 Here is my trick or treat pouch. It is folded from book pages (I stick three together for extra stength) and then stitched with a sewing machine.....the stitching went a little wonky but I think it adds to the look....well, that's my excuse anyway!
 Add CHOCOLATE!!

I picked up this cute skull bead at a recent bead fair.

    That pumpkin cube just keeps calling my name! They are so, so cute...ok, that's probably not the correct adjective! Great treat bag ... I always aim for wonky stitching, then I always achieve the look I'm aiming for lol

    I love anything Halloween! What fun stamps. Love the coloring on the pumpkins. Been playing with Haloween stamps myself. The skull bead is very cool.

    Your bag is fabulous. I'd never have thought of using book pages. Your 'wonky' stitching is just great - the wonkier the better as far as I'm concerned!

    Sue, this is totally fab! I love how you have used book pages as "fabric" - too kewl! It's neat how the stick people are the same height as the pumpkins - creates an interesting scale!
