Assembly Instructions

1. Gently fold on all the score lines. Decide which side of the paper you’d like to show most – this will be used for the front of the face piece and the section of the body piece that will be in the front.
2. Glue the face backer piece(s) to the inside of the face piece. The spider and bat have one piece to attach, while the cat has two. For the cat design, the white piece should be layered over the green piece, matching them up on the bottom round edge. These should be positioned so the green piece covers the eyes, and the white portion covers the nose and whiskers.
3. Attach the tab on the face piece to the body piece, lining it up with the straight edge on the top inside of the body piece.
4. Fill your bag with treats, and fold over the top of the bag with about a 1/4” amount folded over. Hold it in place and position the bag on the inside front of the body piece (so it shows through the oval cut out) and staple it in place once on each side. Place a glue dot or double sided tape at the top center of the body piece, between the staples.
5. Finally, bring the front and back sides of the treat holder together, placing the face piece over the front of the body, then press the face piece in place against the glue dot to secure it. That’s it!
