Thrifty Thursday: Make a Free Candy Bag for Halloween

My mom had to buy me a plastic pumpkin pail every year I trick-or-treated. I always managed to break the handle or lose the pail on one of the other 364 days before the next Halloween.

Stop spending money on treat buckets for the kids. Make a free candy bag out of items you already have in the house.

And if the candy bag gets damaged or destroyed? No problem.

This project is so easy, you can just make another one. No more plastic pails or ripped bags for your kids!
