Paper Bag Swag for Halloween

One of the best things about Halloween is that it's a holiday centered around fun and creativity. You don't have to spend a ton of money, if you just put forth a little ingenuity and imagination. I love those challenges where you have to take some random ordinary object and create something useful from it. After all, necessity is the Mother of invention...or so they say. (Whoever 'they' is). And Halloween lovers have to be the most clever and industrious peeps on the planet. I mean, who else could magically transform a lowly paper bag into enchanting works of art? These images prove that inspiration can spring forth from the unlikeliest of places. Kudos to the creative folks who came up with this Paper Bag Swag for Halloween! :o)

Love those trees and the mushrooms! I'm packing my sons lunch this year in paper bags. I may have to be more creative with them! :)

These are pretty cute ideas I thought. Especially considering they began as paper bags. And think they are easy enough to duplicate. The brooms are available as a kit from Martha Stewart in her Halloween line at Michael's.
