Favor Bags How-To
1. Cut heavyweight paper or card stock slightly wider than your cellophane bags. Clip one edge with a craft edge punch.

    Nice idea, but what parent in their right mind would let their kid eat some home made candy bags obtained from trick or treating? Too many crazys out there.
