Before I get into the little project listed below, I wanted to let everyone know that "Don't Blink" will be temporarily unavailable as of tomorrow and will moving to a new URL shortly. This will be the last post before the move. I will post the new URL on my Facebook page when it is up and ready! Friend me if you want to know when things are running again! Now onto the project...
I wish I could take credit for the idea behind this little project, but I can't. At our Fresh Crops event last month, Barb Carrico-our fabulous vendor from Close To My Heart, came up with this idea for a make & take at the crop. I thought they were adorable and since the onset of Snowmageddon here in Virginia, I made a bunch of them for some of my co-workers. It is a great little project to use up some of your scraps you may have laying around. These little treats are perfect to make with kids who have been bored and looking for something to do besides playing in the snow! Enjoy!
Instructions:
Cut a strip of cardstock that measures 6" x 1.75"
Score at 2.5" from each end. Fold along score lines.
Cut two rectangles from patterned paper that measure 2.25" x 1.75". Mount on either side of the scored lines.
Using a 1.5" circle punch, punch out one of the tags from the file you can download from this post and attach it to one side of the patterned papers with a pop dot.
Using your favorite adhesive, attach a Hershey Nugget or Kiss in the area between the score lines.
Fold ends up at score lines, punch two holes near the top edges.
Tie a piece of ribbon through the holes.
The cardstock I used for my treats is from Bazzill Basics and the patterned paper is from the Making Memories line "Lovestruck". The tags are my own design.
