If you prefer a trick or treat bag that is as fun and whimsical as your costume, here is a unique idea!  Kathy from Merriment Design has a free sewing pattern that shows how to make this adorable treat bag, complete with a spider web that is cleverly made from strips of velcro.  This innovation means that you can attach spiders to the bag, which you can then move around.  Not feeling like your sewing skills are strong enough to construct a whole bag?  You could also add a velcro web to a bag that you already have, or a bag from the dollar store!  [how to make a velcro spiderweb trick or treat bag]
