Simple Little Treat Holder Tutorial

Here is a cute little treat holder that always seems to hit the spot. I have filled them with mini candy bars and had them sitting out at each place at the table. My kids go nuts for them. One of my downline, Jeanne (Hi Jeanne) made big ones for one of our meeting a few months back. I just took her pattern and reduced it in size to make minis. They are great for leftover double sided designer paper. I have seen others that have shreadies and pretties stuck in them. I go the easy route. In fact I have to make 15 of these for the youngest granddaughters birthday party at the end of the month. We can also do the hair clipies but there will be boys also so nixed that idea. O.K. here goes the directions so you can make your own.

If you use the 12 x 12 designer series paper you can get six out of one sheet of paper.

Supplies:

Paper Cutter

Bone Folder

stamps to decorate

Snail adhesive

Brads (optional)

neutral cardstock to stamp on

Step #1

Cut your double sided designer paper into 4" X 4" square

This is the way it should now look.

Step Two. Fold into a triangle. Smooth your fold using your bone folder

Step #3

Fold your right corner to your left side of the triangle.

Smooth down with your bone folder.

Step #4

Take your left side and bring to your right.

Smooth down with your bone folder

Step #5

Fold down one part of your top and smooth with your bone folder. I put a little piece of snail to hold this part down tight.

Step Six

On scraps of a neutral piece of cardstock, stamp a flower. I used the flower from Pick a Petal.

Step #7

Cut this flower out .

I used the new Triple flower punch to punch out my little flowers that I used in the middle of this flower. I put a brad through both flowers then used snail to attach to the front of my pouch.

Now, wasn't that easy. Arn't these just too darn cute. Now to go finish 10 more. Have to think up a different decoration for the boys. Any idea?

Thanks for dropping by. Until we stamp again.
