Halloween Countdown

I made this last year for my girls and it was a huge hit! It was a fun way to countdown to Halloween. I put little treats and fun little toys like a pumpkin flashlight, mummy suckers, stickers, spider rings, sparkly pens and pumpkin decorating kits. I need to get going on my shopping to stuff it for this year! Enjoy!

Here's how I made it:

• Decide how big you want it and how many pockets you want on it (mine has 15 pockets)
• Sew black cotton in a big rectangle. Don't forget to add the ribbon at the top for hanging. I also added ribbon along the bottom for decoration.
• Cut felt for pockets.
• Stitch felt pockets on around both sides and bottom leaving opening in the top. I used a decorative stitch to dress it up.
• Add embellishments to each pocket.
• Hang from a fun bright witches broom.
• Fill with treats and toys and enjoy!
