DIY Ghost Treat Bags: An Easy Halloween Party Favor Idea
Looking for an easy Halloween treat bag idea that’s cute, inexpensive and simple enough to make a bunch at once? These DIY ghost treat bags are such a fun option!
With just a few basic supplies, plain white paper bags turn into adorable little ghosts that you can fill with candy, small toys or other Halloween goodies.
They’re perfect for Halloween parties, classroom treats, Boo baskets, trick-or-treating or a spooky movie night — and I love that you can make each ghost a little different.

Easy DIY Halloween Treat Bags
Halloween DIYs don’t have to be complicated to be cute!
For these ghost bags, I started with small white paper gift bags. The handles make them especially easy to use as party favors because you can fill them ahead of time and have them ready for everyone to grab.
The rounded top gives each bag that simple ghost shape, while the black faces make every ghost come to life.
And my favorite part? You can give some of the ghosts little eyelashes, rosy pink cheeks and ribbon bows for an extra cute variation.
Make them all match or give every ghost its own personality!
Supplies You’ll Need for DIY Ghost Treat Bags

How to Make Ghost Treat Bags for Halloween
Start with a small white paper bag and round the top corners to create a ghost-like shape.
Next, cut simple oval shapes from black felt to create the ghost’s eyes and mouth. They definitely don’t need to be perfect — slightly different shapes give each ghost its own expression.
Attach the felt pieces to the front of the bag. Stick on felt makes it super easy!
For an extra-cute version, add eyelashes above the eyes and small pink circles for rosy cheeks. Finish those ghosts with a little ribbon bow tied around one of the handles.
Once your ghost bags are finished, fill them with your favorite Halloween treats!
That’s it. Such an easy Halloween DIY, but they look adorable lined up together for a party.
What Can You Put Inside Halloween Ghost Treat Bags?
There are so many ways to fill these depending on where you’re using them.
For a Halloween party favor, fill them with individually wrapped candy, Halloween stickers, temporary tattoos, glow sticks or little toys.
For classroom Halloween treats, you can skip the candy completely and use pencils, erasers, stickers, mini fidget toys or other small non-candy treats.
They would also be adorable added to a Boo basket or handed out on Halloween night.
