totally love it!!!!! thanks for sharing
what a fun craft to have the kids help with…who doesn’t love to fill bowls of candy?!
Thanks for sharing this tutorial. I ran right out to the dollar store and found all the stuff. My craft store didn’t have any vinyl so I’m going to improvise and use black electrical tape from the dollar store a well. We’ll see how that works. Thanks again!
So glad you like them! And Shannon, fabulous idea with the electrical tape. I’d love to see a pic of your creation! :)
Fabulous idea! Thanks for sharing!
I made these today for a kids birthday candy bar. They are just the right size for their little hands
what an awesome idea, they’re so cute!
I was wondering where I can find the self adhesive black vinyl. I went to Hobby Lobby and they said they don’t have it. Can you tell me what section of the store it might be in? Also, where can I find the orange gumballs … is that something I buy thru a company on the internet? ~j
I have 2 cases of the jars used for the frankenstein from my wedding, now I know what I’ll be doing with them!
Mandy – so glad you like them!! :)
How did you cut out the vinyl so perfectly? I cant cut that straight to save my own life.
Robin – sure you can! I used a cricut to cut out the circles/ovals, but the triangles and jack-o-lantern mouth I just freehanded. Thanks for stopping in!
These are darling! Can I ask where you got the small clear scoops? Also, what about the bags from the monster bags? Thanks so much!
Mandi – the scoops came from Oriental Trading several years ago and the the pretzel cello bags are available at your local craft store. So glad you like my crafts!
Where did you find the clear plastic scoops?
Star – I found those at Oriental Trading a few years ago. Thanks for stopping in!
