3. Cut off a piece of floral tape and stretch it so it becomes sticky.

I made the broom stick treat bags for my class at school. They were very easy, a bit time consuming but was so worth the look on their faces when they saw that they were their goodie bags. It was terribly inexspensive and believable I fit 12 pieces of toys and candies in the bottom of that bag as well as a pencil and a pen. They looked awesome sitting on their snack table next to a foggy cauldron and eerie goodies to eat.
I am so glad that the idea worked great for you. As I watched her make those I could see how they would be time consuming, but worth the fun they had, and I new that this would be an inexpensive project. Your students sound like they have a lot of fun.
