Halloween is one of my favorite holidays of the entire year! I love the images and the colors, so inspiring and FUN! Kunin Felt has such a wide variety of colors and styles that the possibilities are endless, so you can create your own unique combination and design! I am not a sewer, but I wanted to look of a sewn bag for this project, so I got out my Beacon Felt Glue and got to work! Halloween is also one more excuse to eat chocolate, what’s not to LOVE!
