- Use a blunt table knife to score a piece of A4 black card 2.5cm in from each long edge and 13cm in from each short edge. Fold along each score line.
- Cut into the two short lines on each side of the card so the sheet can be folded into a bag. (pic a)
- Draw a cat shape onto spare card and cut out to make a stencil. Place the stencil onto one side of the flattened bag and sponge a little gold paint over the surface. (pic b)
- Cut some long 1cm wide strips of orange card and fix them up the long sides and across the short edges of the sheet to make decorative borders. (pic c)
- Take two more strips of orange card and fix to the short edges of the underside of the black card to make handles for the bag. (pic d)
- Fold the bag up and stick the two sides together with more double-sided tape using a ruler to push down on the adhesive from the inside if necessary.

Have made these bags in the past at our Out of School Club. The kids loved making them at our Halloween Fun Day! We will be making them again this time round, they are so easy to do and look great.
