Hershey Nugget Purse Treat holder

 Here I go again, another little purse treat holder! Love this little one and it holds 2 Hershey Nugget chocolates!

This little gem measures 2” across and 1.5” wide and tall (minus the handle of course). Isn’t it adorable? I used the (retired) Tag Topper Punch since it made the pretty scallop AND the hole for the brad closure all at once. Here are the measurements of each part:

DSP 2” x 6”  (If your paper has a direction  to it,  be careful to punch so that your  image  is in the correct orientation to be the flap.)

Cardstock: 2”x1.5” (optional but I like the solid cardstock so that it emphasizes the print “flap”

Cardstock: 1.25x5” (this is the “wrap” for the Hershey Nuggets)

Cardstock: 1/4” x 7” (this is the handle)

Mini brad (or other closure mechanism)

Awl (to poke a hole for the brad)

I scored the DSP 2x6” DSP at 1.5”, 3”, 4.5” and 4.75”. Then I used the Tag Topper Punch on the 1.25” segment…which also took off and extra 1/4”. This left a 2x5.75” panel

I folded all the score lines then added the 2x1.5” cardstock to the front panel of the same dimensions.

Using my awl, I poked a hole through the purse “front”. To figure out where to make the hole, fold up the score lines to form the purse shape and see where the mini brad needs to be to latch the purse flap shut. Insert a mini brad in the hole and secure it.

I wrapped two Nuggets with the 1.25x5” cardstock and adhered it to the inside bottom of the purse

The handle got added into the 1/4” space. 

And that’s it…you’ve just created an adorable little chocolate purse! Thanks for stopping in…have a wonderful day!

Cute "cup" treat holders

I love making treat holders, they're so darned cute and they get to hold a special treat be it candy, chocolate, and so on.  I love the look on someone's face when I give them one of these...and I usually have a little treat for each guest when I'm teaching a class. I made these darling little holders recently :

The paper is a pad of 6x6 printed papers from my local craft store that I've had in my stash for ages! The sentiment is from an old set by Stampin'UP! called Teeny Tiny Wishes and it's stamped on a scrap of white cardstock using the "Word Window" punch. I then layered it on another older punch for which I can't remember its proper name!

In a nutshell, you fold a 6x6 sheet of paper into a triangle, with the longest edge closest to you and the point away from you. Let's call this point "12 o'clock". Fold the bottom right corner to the opposite edge of the paper, approximately to the 10 o'clock mark.  Then fold the bottom left  corner up towards 2 o'clock. Then fold one of the two flaps at 12 o'clock down towards you. Embellish at will! 

You can also adjust the angle of the fold somewhat to accommodate a wider (or taller) item that you want in the holder. 

If you've got an adorable printed paper, it's so easy to make this treat holder look so darned cute! Please drop me a line if you end up making this.

Thanks for stopping by...have a wonderful day!
