French Fry Treat Basket

This is a great goodie basket to make for classroom parties. It's easy to make and they fit perfect into a cellophane bag after they are finished. If having a Halloween Party, it's a great party favor to take home.


Supplies:
Orange Card Stock or Orange Poster board if you are making several.
Black Marker
Scissors
Green Pipe Cleaners
Hole Puncher
Double Sided Tape or Glue Gun
Pattern of French Fry Container. I just traced one from my favorite fast food place.

Directions:
1. Trace your pattern onto the orange cardstock.
2. Draw on Pumpkin Face with Black Marker.
3. Cut out pattern and make folds were needed.
4. Use Double Sided Tape to hold the sides in place. Use a glue gun if you don't have double sided tape.
5. Use hole punch to makes a hole on each side for the handle.
6. Attach the green pipecleaner to use as handle.
7. Fill with goodies and you are done.

*** I like to place in cellophane bags so the kids don't drop any of the goodies.
*** If making several, I would make a stencil of the face and then just trace it onto the orange cardstock.
*** If you don't want to make a Pumpkin Face, just use decorative card stock.
*** You can find different french fry container patterns on-line at some of the craft sights.
