Tutorial: Trick or Treat tote bag

Plan ahead for a trick or treating haul with this Trick or Treat Tote Bag. Melissa Mortenson from Polka Dot Chair guest blogs at Tatertots and Jello with a tutorial showing how to make one. It’s got plenty of room for all the candy and treats. And with a canvas bottom and a leather strap, it’s sturdy enough to hold up to all that weight.
