I looked all over the web for the origami gift bag instructions for the Mini Boo Bag I made yesterday. I thought it would be way easier to point you in that direction rather than to write out a long tutorial. However, I could not find a single tutorial. Since it would take me hours to write one out I thought I would do a Vlog instead.
So bear with me, this is what I look like after a long day at home with the kids…
These are just the right size for the “boo bags” because they are small and only fit a few candy bars in it. I am cheap like that so I thought it was perfect.
I typed out the Boo poem in a “Halloweenish” font and singed the edges with a lighter to make it spookalicious.
Then I put in eight small fun size candy bars and put the poem inside and off we went on another “boo-venture.”
I am pretty certain I am having more fun than Isaac. Did you hear me giggle at the end??? I am such a kid.

Aaaaawwww that was awesome. You are such a fun momma!!!! That would have been fun to watch when we were there.
I LOVE origami and I've never seen this pattern before. I am totally going to make some gift bags in the near future! Thanks for the video, it was great!
How long do these take to make??? They'd be great for my step-daughter's birthday!!
Oh my goodness, you two are the cutest ever. I mean really!
hehe, nice to see you in action, Beckie! And a really great tutorial - I am gonna make tons of these gift bags for Christmas. Maybe I even give a pack of giftbags as presents = doublewhammy... Yay!
Wow Beckie -- those little bags are adorable! It was really fun to watch your video too -- actually both videos -- Isaac is adorable!
I loved the Booing in action : very funny. and the tutorial is great !!!
That was great! I'm going to have to watch the video a thousand times (I'm slow like that!) But once I get it, we are going to make tons!! I think the kids might be able to help with these and of course I have tons of scrapbooking paper that is not being used for scrapping, so this would be fantastic! Thanks for both videos! Too cute!!!
It is so funny that in both videos Isaac runs off in the opposite direction of your car! I love it.
Oh, and isn't it funny to put a voice to a picture? You talk differently in my head!!
Have fun!
I LOVE it! We Booed 2 of our neighbors a few days ago. We used Pumpkin Buckets from the Dollar Tree filled with a Halloween oven mit for the mommies, 2 halloween straws for the kiddos and a pair of halloween socks! Hope they loved them. What a fun tradition that I love too!
Oh and your son is a doll!
Beckie,
I laughed with you when you were running away. HOW CUTE!
WOW, great idea. My kids love making Origami and I'm left simply confused...this is when I call in the Dad for help!

Hahaha it cracks me up how you giggled at the end. :) Too cute.
I'm so glad you did a Vlog. It would definitely be hard to follow otherwise. Such a great idea, I'm gonna do this. Thanks!
Thanks for the VLOG. Great to see the craft come to life! Love the bags!
çok güzel bir çalışmaymış inş en kısa zamanda deneyeceğim

I am in awe. You are too much. I am going to try to follow your instructions, and I can only hope my results will be as cute as yours.
I love it! I'm already done booing this year, but I will definitely do this next year. Or maybe even for Christmas. Thank you!!
I still have an unopened origami kit I bought long time ago, Beckie you just spark my interest again. These bags will be great also for gift bags, it can be easily customized. I like the vlog for somebody like me who is really bad at reading instructions.
I wanted to let you know I totally blogged about your idea! You can see my post here: http://allthingscreativeaz.blogspot.com/2009/10/origami-gift-bag.html
I absolutely love this! Thanks again!
How cute!! I love the "boo-venture" idea. Thanks so much for linking!

This is so cute and SO much fun to see! I love that you can use this for any occasion, perfect for the upcoming holidays. I'll be linking.
The bag is fabulous! Thank you so much for taking the time to make the tutorial video! I can't wait to try it!
Nice story you got here. It would be great to read something more concerning that theme.
By the way look at the design I've made myself Companionship in London
i wish you'd just written down the directions for the boo bag.
