(Freebie) You've been BOOed Halloween Printables & 5 Free Tags

You've been BOOed!  Such a fun Halloween tradition. Do you do it every year? We've designed a "You've Been Booed" sign for you to take to your friends and neighbors.  You know the drill.....in the cover of night you sneak up your neighbor's sidewalk and leave a goody on their front porch and then run like the devil after ringing the door bell.....Lots of fun!   

  Below is a fun way to package the treats you're taking to the neighbors....It's a Halloween Candy Cone. The tutorial is below. Yeah, you've got this! 

Form the cone from a 12" x 12"  piece of double sided cardstock. (Halloween themed paper) Apply glue (glue stick) to one paper edge and gently roll full sheet into large cone. Trim top edge even. Hold cone together for several minutes until dry. Glue two small circles, one on each side of the cone. Punch a hole in each circle. Use an 18" piece of wire and bend into handle shape. Insert wire ends through holes and bend to secure.

After cutting out the three  1 1/2" x 12" strips and inking the edges, overlap and adhere ends together to create one long strip.  Fold  the strip to create the ruffle look and staple and/or glue pleated strip around top of cone. You can either leave the ruffles sticking out as shown above, or lay them flat on the cone.

Here is your finished product. Choose one tag from the five that we have designed. Ink the edges and attach to the cone using a foam tab(s)   The measurement from the top of the wire handle to the bottom of the cone is 19"  Your neighbors will be thrilled!

We filled the bottom inside of the cone with paper since all our candy fit in the top. If you want to fill the entire cone,  leave out the filler and just add crinkled paper in the top.

You can put an assortment of candy by filling up smaller bags and putting them into the cone. These bags measure 3" x  4".

The good thing about the wire handle is that you can slip it over any door knob, or in this case, where there was no door knob, we put it over the top of the latch. Don't forget to include the "You've been booed" sign and instruction sheet. Just roll them up and slip them into the cone too.  (you might want to print off more than one copy so they can easily "Boo" someone else)

 Fill  your Halloween cone with your favorite homemade or store bought sweets. (Pkg of cookies, brownies, muffins, caramel popcorn, nuts, granola bars, caramels....or whatever your family and friends are always begging you to make for them, you know, your very special treats. Or what about putting in some of our freebie Halloween Book Marks?  Here's the link to that post

Cut out the round tags with a 3" scallop paper punch or a 3 1/2" scallop paper punch.  You could use a circle punch too. We love the EK Success brand of punches.
