Halloween is fast approaching and we are almost done with our series of shareable Halloween treat bags. These “Pumpkin Guts’ shareable Halloween treat bags are the fourth in our series of five shareable Halloween treat bags. Make them all and fill a bowl and let the kids help themselves. Watch them laugh as they read their labels.
For the Pumpkin Guts treat bags we are using orange cream-flavoured Gummy bears. These have a mottled orange colour and have a great look. They taste like Creamsicle, which is a popular flavour. You can use any orange candy that you think reflects the look and colour of pumpkin guts. You can easily add your favourite orange candy without compromising the theme of Pumpkin Guts.
In this project, we chose to make our tags in both orange cardstock and cream-coloured cardstock to demonstrate the appearance of both colours.
If you are using a 12 by 12″ card stock, you can easily cut it down to fit your inkjet printer using the paper trimmer.
This project can be made using an inkjet printer and paper trimmer or with a Cricut cutting machine, using a print and cut setting

How to make – shareable Pumpkin Guts Halloween Treat bags using a Cricut cutting machine
In addition to the supplies mentioned above you will need:
Instructions for using the Cricut cutting machine
- Download the free print and cut file above.
- Upload the file into the Design space and choose print and cut in the menu after uploading and load onto the canvas.
- Resize the design to the size you desire. It looks best if you choose the size that is the width of the top of your zipper bag. I used a 3.5-inch by 4-inch zipper bag, so my tags were 4″ by 4″. Remember, you can unlock, the lock of the design on the canvas to accommodate your bags
- .When you have the desired size, re-lock the lock and duplicate. When using the print and cut on the Cricut you will likely only get 2 tags per 8.5″ by 11″ piece of cardstock. This is because Cricut prints a registration box around the designs. Do not cut this box off. This is what your Cricut will use to orient itself on where to cut your design.
- Make it
- Once you have printed your design and cut your design in your cutting machine, lift your design from the mat. We use the Cricut spatula tool for lifting the tag. This thin spatula will keep your tag nice and flat while removing it from the sticky mat.
- Sign the “From” part of the tag before stapling.
- Fold tags in half and staple them to the top of the zipper bag.
- Share your Pumpkin Guts Halloween treat bags.
This coming week we will be releasing our fifth and final shareable Halloween treat bag printable. We hope you are enjoying this series of fun kid-friendly Halloween treat bag ideas.
