I was in SEPHORA..yes, I braved the mall today! GOSH what a nightmare! I can't believe I almost got away with no shopping in the mall during the Holidays!
As I was driving home, I thought I might be able to use the bottoms of the basket die. So, I cut 2 of them, and punched a hole in the center of one of them.
I cut a piece of Acetate, 6 1/4" x 5" tallACETATE SHEETS are available at http://www.kellypaper.com/ They are cover weight sheets for reports. (8 1/2 x 11)
Bend the bottom so it will fold over the edges of the tube.
Anyways..I went to Sephora, and saw this cute little treat...picked it up and thought, I can do this!!! lol
Of course, it wasn't for Valentine's...it was for Christmas!

I cut a piece of Acetate, 6 1/4" x 5" tall
I placed a piece of sticky tape on one side (5" long) The piece will make a cylinder approx 6" in circumference. (I did not ask my daughter for the information...! but, if you have a math whiz, you might get a better measurement) The cylinder will flex as you place the top/bottom on.
Bend the bottom so it will fold over the edges of the tube.
I cut a strip of cardstock 1" x 6 1/4". It just barely fits with NO overlap. I used the scallop border punch, and then sticky tape along the edge (non scalloped edge)
If you find it easier, make it overlap and cut your strip 6 1/2" instead
If you find it easier, make it overlap and cut your strip 6 1/2" instead
Wrap it around
Voila! one side done.
repeat with the other side, but make sure you place the ribbon through the holes as shown.
Stamp and punch this out and the hole in the center and place it over the top.
Like this!
I punched out hearts from the designer papers, and they got washed out over the m&m's...but, think of the possibilities!!!
This is all held together with STICKY tape, since it needs to be strong. You will have to rip the packaging apart to remove the candy :( but it was the strongest way to hold it...

I love your little Valentine's Day treat! Where did you get the acetate, and is it heavier than a transparency? Someone once said that there is an acetate cardstock available, but I don't know where to find this product.

This is adorable!!! And it looks so easy. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNow I have to figure out a way to buy this die.
When I saw the basket die piece cut out, I could not figure out how that became a pretty scalloped edge, and as I read on, I could see for myself that it got covered up. Very creative! I love how you had the "can do" attitude and conquered the project with what you had!
ReplyDeleteHi I love this idea and I'd like to demo it. Any ideas on how to shut it? Did you use glue dots to keep the candy from falling out? Thanks!
