How to Sew Halloween Candy Bags

As there are four fat quarters in a yard of fabric, you can make 16 bags for each fabric yard.

Watch me make these Halloween snack bags in my YouTube video below.

Supplies

  • One Fabric Fat Quarter (18 X 22 inches)
  • Ribbon (at least 64 inches)
  • Pinking Shears (optional)

Directions

Fold the fabric in half lengthwise with right sides together.

Cut the top raw edges with pinking shears for a decorative touch.

Make marks across the fabric at these measurements and draw a straight line from top to bottom:

  • 1/2 inch
  • 5 inches
  • 6 inches
  • 10 1/2 inches
  • 11 1/2 inches
  • 16 inches
  • 17 inches
  • 21 1/2 inches
A hand marks fabric with a yellow chalk while measuring with a clear ruler; the fabric has a gray background with orange dots.
A rectangular piece of fabric with a pink polka dot pattern is clipped at the top with five yellow clips and has four vertical lines of yellow stitching.

Clip the fabric together.

Sew along the marked lines, being sure to backstitch at the top and bottom.

Cut in the middle of the 1 inch gaps to create four bags, each with a 1/2 inch seam.

Four rectangular pieces of gray fabric with pink dots, each with stitched edges, are arranged in a grid on a white background.

Turn the bags inside out. Press with an iron

Three rectangular pieces of black fabric with orange polka dots and a spool of orange ribbon are arranged on a white background.

Fill the treat bags with candy. Tie a ribbon around the top of the bag (we used 16-inch long pieces of ribbon).
