With blank giftbags, you can quickly decorate them with stencils and masks, for handing out to trick-or-theaters.
And for that art-making, you may want to use masks or stencils like these:

ATC Mixup Swatton # 1 L768 (9" x 12") -- featuring 9 Artist Trading Card-sized stencils and 3 bonus masks |
I haven't decorated any giftbags with Halloween themes, nor have I had the courage to print directly onto the giftbags!
But -- with my other masks and stencils -- I've made prints on assorted papers. After the acrylic paints have dried, I've cut them out with Fiskars decorative scissors before using a glue stick to add them to all-occasion giftbags:

Above: Top layer printed with 6" x 6" stencil Mikki's Flowers s604 and underneath layer printed using 9" x 12" Blooming Where Planted L449. The substrate is holographic giftwrap paper and some of its glittery look remains visible. |

Above: 9" x 12" Looking Up Through Trees L753 was used to print this design onto "catch-all" paper (paper that "catches" leftover paints when the leftovers are of small quantities -- to avoid letting leftover acrylic paints be sent down the drain with the brush-cleaning water.)

Most of the above photos were taken before I got the idea to dress them up using these. These stickers are easy to use, as-is -- or customized with scissors or a paper cutter. The customizing that I generally do is to cut these decorative self-stick beauties into halves, lengthwise. They go a lot farther that way; besides, there are times when the original sticker strips are too wide, so cutting them into halves gives me the exact width that I want.
