Today’s project is a quick and easy Treat Holder. It is similar to the old time “sour cream” holders. All you need is a bit of pattern paper.
Paper and Holder
This treat holder came about from necessity! Having purchased some long chocolate covered pretzel treats for some special Halloween friends, I could not decide how to decorate it. What I am sharing was my first idea and is based on the old Sour Cream Container idea. If you are unfamiliar with that it is basically like a tube of paper, think toilet paper roll, and you then secure the ends in opposite directions to make a triangle shape.
Since these pretzels were so long, I went with only securing the bottom end and leaving the top open. By using the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper I could make lots of treat holders in the same pattern. This pack of papers is one of the larger ones, and has multiples of each pattern. For this holder I used a piece that is 4 X 9 3/4. It is scored 1/2″ across the bottom of the 4″. Add some Tear & Tape at that score line and then down one side. Roll it up and secure the side and then pinched the bottom closed. This would work on any similar treat. All you need is enough paper to go around the treat and then an inch longer than the treat. As I said, Easy Peasy!!
Stamps, Punch, and Finishes
For the tag I used the Scary Cute stamp set. These sentiments are so sweet. And that is what I like. The sentiment and the bats were stamped on a scrap of Basic White using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. For the shape I used the Label Me Fancy Punch. The shape reminds me of military dog tags with the rounded ends. Also, the punch has a ribbon slot as well as a circle hole. After punching the shape, I then punched the hole in the end to run my ribbon through.
To finish the treat I went with Baker’s Twine. My plan was the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack, which contains a solid Black roll of twine. But in my ribbon drawer was this piece of Black and White twine. This was a look I preferred. But ended up using both. We all have leftovers of ribbon and twine that still work on our projects don’t we! The twine was wrapped around a couple of times and then tied in a simple knot. I hope you will use this quick and easy way of decorating some treats for Halloween or any occasion.
