Green Halloween

ChicoBag™ realized there was no one better to create our annual Halloween bag design than the user. They decided to hold a contest for the best green-spirited Halloween design and invited students nationwide to participate.
This year's design was inspired by Gracie Gralike and is available with two different pouch options; a bat pouch or a pumpkin pouch. In addition to last year's winning design, there is also a Jack-o-Lantern design printed on an orange bag. All three designs are featured on they're Original ChicoBag brand reusable bag, providing trick-or-treaters plenty of room for their goodies!

What's even sweeter? 10% of the sale of each bag will be contributed to Treeswing, the organization making Green Halloween (and other great initiatives) possible!

Trick-or-treaters and Halloween guests should feel more welcome than wary ascending a staircase lit up with leaf-carved pumpkin lanterns. The pumpkins' motifs are produced using a variety of basic carving techniques. The resulting patterns are as varied as fallen leaves, which provide the only templates you'll need.

Instead of cutting out the entire leaf shape, use a linoleum cutter with a narrow blade to peel away the rind and expose the flesh, producing decorative motifs or realistic "veins."

Alternatively, cut out the entire leaf shape. Using a long miniature saw, cut out part of the leaf to make thin details, such as veins.
