Halloween Treat Tutorial

Hi everyone, Kathy here with a tutorial for you. I’m going to show you how to make these little treat holders. They are perfect for party or shower favors. I’m thinking I’ll do some baby shower favors using the Rubber Romance Cutie Pie line. I’m planning to make a bunch of these Halloween ones for my children's teachers and bus drivers. I like to give them a little something sweet at Halloween. These holders are quick to make and inexpensive, too. Hope you enjoy the tutorial and give them a try!Cut one base color of cardstock, the black one is the base here, to 3 1/4 X 11 inches. Score the cardstock at 4, 6 and 10 inches. Cut a coordinating piece of cardstock (the orange piece) to 3 1/8 X 3 7/8 inches. Cut one piece of patterned paper to 3 x 3 ¾ inches. This polka dot patterned paper is from My Mind’s Eye.
Stamp your chosen image on to cardstock. I’m using Sabrina from Rubber Romance Stamps; you can find her as well as other fabulous Rubber Romance stamps here. Isn’t she just the cutest witch ever? I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Papertreyink Stampers Select White cardstock. Crop the image down to fit on the front of your holder. Best to crop the image down before coloring, so you won’t waste time coloring parts of the image you won’t need. I cropped Sabrina down into a circle using nestabilities. I also cut an orange piece to mat the image with.Color and decorate the image. I used copic markers and some Stickles for a bit of sparkle on my image.
Fill a small cellophane bag with your choice of treats. Here I’m using Pumpkin Spice Hershey’s Kisses. The great thing about these small treat holders is that one bag of Kisses will fill 5-6 cellophane bags, depending on how many you sample along the way!
Fold your long piece of cardstock along the score lines. Add the small piece of cardstock and patterned paper to the front of the holder. Embellish the holder if you wish. I added some orange mini brads, and a scrap of cardstock punched with the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo border punch.Line up the cellophane bag inside the holder. Punch holes through all the layers. I used a Crop-A-Dile to get through the cardstock and cellophane bag all at once.
Tie a ribbon through the holes, to hold everything together. Adhere your image to the front and you are finished. Here is a side view of the holder, so you can see it with the treats in place.
