Halfway- 12 days of Christmas, day 6

I've always loved the look of these treat holders. They are a breeze to make, and are super cute.
The patterns I have seen have always been a little on the small side, so, today, I decided to see what would happen by making them bigger.
 Each treat holder is made with half a sheet of 8.5x11 paper, and will hold about 24 Hershey Kisses or  1 packet of hot chocolate mix and 8 peppermint patties.


 Supplies for this project:

Cardstock of your choice (I used Old Olive and Real Red)
Double sided tape
Goodies for the inside of the packages
Cookie Cutter Christmas and Christmas Magic stamp sets
Stampin' Up Regals markers
Candy Cane Lane DSP

Cut the cardstock, tape the edge
Crimp, and tape the inside of the tube to create a cone.
Burnish the end with a bone folder or your finger to ensure a good seal.
Fill the holder with treats and tape the other side at a 90 degree angle from the first tape line. You should have one vertical and one horizontal seam.

Decorate the outside as desired. I will be having these at a craft sale this weekend, and have marked each type with the decoration used.

These can be made any size by altering the size of the rectangle. As long as there is about a two inch difference between the width and height, it should work.

Tomorrow's idea is perfect for the wine lover on your list!

Happy crafting!

12 Crafts of Christmas day 10- twist and close box

Image
 Today's project is a fun twist (ha!) on a gift box. While it looks challenging, it's really quite simple to put together, and all you need is cardstock, patterned paper, adhesive, a ruler and stylus or scoring tool. Trim 1/2 inch from your cardstock so you're left with an 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 piece. Score on the long edge at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2, and 10 inches. Score the short side at 2 1/2 inches, flip, and score the other side at 2 1/2 inches.  Mark one side as shown 1 1/4 inches from each score line, and score from the mark to the bottom corner. Fold and burnish to crease.  Cut the bottom of the box as shown to the bottom score line. Discard the small tab at the bottom.  Cut your patterned paper to 4 3/4 x 2 1/4. Run adhesive along the side and connect the two edges. Apply adhesive on the bottom edges and seal the box. Working from one side, pinch the top closed, and your box is done!  Check out the video here. Check out all of our projects as the 12 days continue here...
