treats, treats ...

 .. and more treats.

I have done 2 videos this week with lots of treats.  Most of them were originally designed for Mother's Day but could be adapted for most occasions.

Here is the first video:

And the second video for the chocolate tower.

I have a pdf available for the chocolate tower.  I hope you will give it a try, and if you do, please share pictures.

As for the other treats, they are all basically the same - the dimensions will just change based on the size of the front piece and the treat you are putting in.

The first method is when you have a front and back piece that you are joining together. For the apple, I used a piece that was 1 1/2" x 3 3/4".  Oon the short side, score 3/8" in from both edges , on the long side, score at 1 1/4" and 2 1/2".  Put adhesive as shown in the picture and miter the corners so they are less bulky and the boxes lays flatter.  With tear and tape I find it easier to put on the adhesive first and then cut the chunks out, but if I was using liquid glue I would miter first and then add glue.

  

Adhere one side first and then lining up the second piece, adhere it.  Decorate, fill and give to someone to make their day.

   

For the second version, we are basically making a box and decorating the front.  For the square flower dies, I started with a piece of cardstock that was 4" x 5".  On the short side, I scored 1" in from each edge.  On the long side, I scored at 2' and 3".  Leaving the front side with a nice square corner, wedge the other 2 flaps so the box is easier to line up straight. Assemble, decorate the front and give to .. ok, you know the rest.

  

  

Little treats like these really do add to a table setting, can be left on a desk, handed to the person who gives you coffee at the drive thru or any other time you want to make someone smile.

What treats are you going to make?  I would love if you shared the pictures.

Happy crafting - and gifting!
