Rhinestone Trick Or Treat Bag

Trick or treat bag crafts tend to be pretty unexciting, but this project is perfect for all ages. Use rhinestone transfers to create a rocking Rhinestone Trick or Treat Bag you or your child will love carrying all night long. The colorful embellishments will help the bag stand out from a sea of pillow cases and plastic grocery bags.

Materials:

• Rhinestone transfer from RSTransfers.com
• 1/2 yard of black twill fabric
• Two 24" pieces of thick orange ribbon

Instructions:

1. Width of fabric cut should be around 18". Measure up from fold 14" and cut along the width of the fabric. This should give you a piece of fabric 18"x28" but keep it folded, this way you do no have to sew across the bottom.
    
2. With the fold still at the bottom and right sides together, sew along each side at 5/8" seam allowance.
    
3. Sew along bottom corners at a 45 degree angle. (about 1/2" from the corner). This will create the shape shown at the bottom of the bag.
    
4. Trim edges and clip the corners to reduce bulk. (if you have a surger, use on the edges to give a more finished look.
    
5. Turn inside out (so that the right side of the fabric is now on the outside).
   
   
    
6. Fold top of bag in about 1/2" in and press. Fold again 1/2" in and sew at the desired distance from the edge. (diagonal stitch was used in bag shown).
    
7. For straps: Fold and press 1/4" from each edge of the ribbon. Pin each end of the ribbon 3" from the tops and sides of the bag.
   
   
    
8. Sew across top edge and bottom edge of the ribbon. Then do an X pattern from each corner to add extra reinforcement.
    
9. Take the rhinestone transfer and place where you would like the image at on the bag. Follow the rhinestone transfer directions, let cool and you are done!
