A Cute Little Recycle

I was so intrigued by  the Heatwarming Vintage  Envelope Challenge, I created this fun little bag.
It started out with this;

A kraft envelope, folding procedures, and a decorative cut at the top. I used a die cut, you could use a decorative scissors, etc.  You can get the directions from a DIY Video that Sandy has posted on her blogspot. After you have created the little bag, you can decorate it for whatever occasion. The DT has several great ideas for inspiration.

After the envelope was shaped into the little kraft bag I used distress ink on the edges, glued some vintage lace on top. I used a tiny clothes pin to hold the black spider on top.

I used the Crafty Secrets Halloween Greetings Set for the Sentiments, Ticket, and the Cute Little Images, some metal copper colored ribbon in the background.  I used a brown button, shaped some wire and a Martha Stewart Bat Punch to create the Bats Flying in a 3D effect. I layered bits of flower shapes for the flower, added a button and some bakers twine.
I'll no doubt put a few favorite candy bars inside, top it with the green shredded tissue paper, I made in our paper shredder.
This was so fun, I love the use of recyling things. And what a quick and easy project for any last minute little gifts.
I found several Challenges that this would qualify for and all of them have some great ideas for our  Halloween and the Fall Season:
