T-Shirt Trick-or-Treat Bag
From the blogger: "This trick-or-treat bag is a great way to use last year's outgrown Halloween t-shirt by making it into something your kids can use to carry all that candy! You can also start with a new shirt and decorate it, as I’ve done with one here, if you don’t happen to have one you can reuse. The process to make the bag is simple, and it's a fun craft to make with the kids leading up to Halloween!"

Top 3 Reasons to Make the T-Shirt Trick-or-Treat Bag:
1. Upcycle Old T-Shirts: One of the best reasons to make this craft project is the opportunity to upcycle old Halloween t-shirts that no longer fit your kids. Instead of letting them go to waste, you can turn them into a functional and fun trick-or-treat bag that your child can use for years to come. Not only does this project save money on buying a new trick-or-treat bag, but it also promotes sustainability by reusing materials that would otherwise be thrown away.
2. Personalized Design: Another reason to make the T-Shirt Trick-or-Treat Bag is the chance to personalize the design to suit your child's unique style. Whether you start with a plain t-shirt and decorate it with Halloween-themed designs or use a pre-decorated shirt, you can make the bag as spooky or cute as your child desires. This project allows for creativity and customization, giving your child a one-of-a-kind trick-or-treat bag that they will love to show off on Halloween night.
3. Fun Family Activity: Making the T-Shirt Trick-or-Treat Bag is a great way to get the whole family involved in a fun and festive activity leading up to Halloween. Kids can help with cutting and decorating the shirt, while parents can assist with the sewing and assembly. This project provides a bonding opportunity for families to spend quality time together, creating lasting memories and a practical item that can be used year after year. Plus, the satisfaction of making something from scratch with your own hands is truly rewarding for both kids and adults alike.
