How to Make a Treat Bag for Halloween

Optional: You can paint the toilet paper rolls first if you are concerned that the white napkins will let the brown of the toilet paper rolls. 

First, step is to get your napkins ready. Open them all the way up. Cut them into 4 squares.

Depending on the size of the napkins, you might need to trim them down to fit the roll. It is easier to do this before it is on, but it can be done after. Then pull the napkin apart. When you look, it is actually 2 sheets in one and will pull apart easily.

Next “paint” the rolls with glue. You want it to be completely covered but not too wet. If there is too much glue, the napkin will fall apart.

Next lay the roll on the edge of the napkin and just roll it up.

I like to also put the glue on the outside. This is optional. It helps to smooth it down and and hold it in place.

Put it aside and let it dry completely.

To close up the first side, take your thumb and gently press in the one side. It will naturally fold in easily.

Then press in the opposite side. I like to fold them tightly and then squeeze the tops of the pointed sides, to make a crease.

Flip the tube over and fill it with your goodies.  Then close up that side the same way.

If you decide to add a handle on ours, so after folding in the first side, lay the pipe cleaner in, and fold the second side down over top of it.
