Everyone loves a good Halloween monster. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, oftentimes green and with big teeth. If you're like other monster fans, you've probably come up with dozens of inventive ways to use the monster as a posterchild for your Halloween. If you need a new outlet for your creative binges, you might be interested in what's commonly called a monster bag.
The bag part of the phrase is the easy part. It's a Halloween bag that children carry candy in. You can buy them at all major stores that carry a Halloween department. The bags come in an assortment of colors and sizes, so depending on your specific little Halloween goblin, you can go with big, medium, or small bags customized to what you anticipate their carrying abilities to be. Once you've bought the bags, it's time to put your creative energy to good use by creating the monsters that will adorn the bags.
You can always design your own monsters and draw them on the bags. This is the preferred method when children are interested in taking part. You and your child can have a great time drawing all the monsters that exist in your imagination. The drawing, or painting tools are all up to you. When creating the bags this way, you're able to control the outcome completely and get the exact monster of your choice.
Those creative souls with less time on their hands can use stencils to create the monster bags. There's still some imagination involved because you'll need to color in the stenciled portions of your monsters, but you can skip the lengthy drawing time and get straight to the coloring fun.
Creating their own Halloween bag is a double treat for any child. They get the fun of a craft combined with the ability to use their creation to gather candy on Halloween night. Anyone that is interested in creating their own monster bags should be glad to know that this is a long-time Halloween tradition that has brought happiness to thousands of trick-or-treaters in the past. You can join in the fun with all the rest of the gang this year.

If your child is going out trick-or-treating, you will need to buy a costume, and a candy bag. There are many different types of candy bags available both online and at retail stores. You may even want to make your own candy bag.. One of the most popular types of candy bags are monster bags. Monster bags can be purchased in a variety of sizes and colors. Many people purchase a monster bag that goes with their costume. For example, if your child is going to go trick or treating as a green monster, then you might want to purchase a green monster bag. If your child is going trick or treating as a witch, then you might want to purchase a black monster bag to match the costume or you might want to choose a colorful monster bag to accent the witch costume. If you want to help your child make a monster bag, you will need to use a brown paper grocery bag with handles. Lightly sketch the outline of a monster on both sides of the bag using pencil. After you have sketched your monster, you can color in the outline using paint or marker. If using paint to create your monster bag, make sure to let one side dry before painting the other side of the bag. You may want to purchase or make more than one monster bag just in case your bag is damaged or rips during trick-or-treat. If you plan on doing a lot of trick-or-treating, you may want to have an extra bag to hold all of the candy you will get. Usually, candy bags are quite inexpensive to purchase or make which means that you can have several bags. Of course, if you are going to purchase your monster bags, it is best to do so early in the Halloween season. Shopping early means that you will have the best selection of bags from which to choose. As it gets closer to Halloween, the selection of candy bags including monster bags will definitely dwindle.
