Thank you for the excitement you shared when I showed all the Halloween treat packaging and goodies Rose Kerry gave me. Many of you requested instruction for her expanding paper pouches. So today I’ve created some to share! I gave similar instructions for a version of these pouches back in July of 2023. So if you enjoyed those, you’ll love what I am sharing today. I have Rose’s alteration (which she learned from Ronda Wade) AND another way to alter them to make them look more like a trapezoid when closed.

Be sure to watch my instructional video by clicking here* for measurements, tips and directions (or you can just click on this image below if you are already here in my blog post and can view it). Scroll through the photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
*My video went live at 11 AM Central Time today. So thank you for your patience if you were waiting for my connected blog post.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video.

Yes, the 6×6 papers are perfect for that candy!
