Memorial Day Window Treat Bags

May

Hello there! It’s Mendi here today with some special Memorial Day themed gifts! These sweet treat bags would be perfect to thank someone who has served in the military or just a great addition to a Memorial Day weekend BBQ! To create these I turned to one of my favorite Pebbles collections from the past year: Americana!

As a way to dress up my bags I cut out a fun handled topper from patterned paper using a Silhouette Cutting file and created a clear window in my bags to show some patriotic cookies.

Now I must confess… I was really trying to make THESE beautiful cookies on Pinterest to show through my little window, but my talents are obviously not in the kitchen. Somehow my white dough got lost in the middle and I ended up settling for more of a marbled look.

To create the window in my glassine bags I centered a scalloped circle die from the Homemade collection approximately one inch from the bottom edge and secured it with washi tape to keep it from shifting while running it through my die-cutting machine.

I then slid a slightly smaller clear plastic party bag down the center to hold my cookie. It was super easy and yet I think the window adds a special detail to the project!

Here’s one last look at the completed treat bags. I tried to keep them simple to make them easy to mass produce for a party. I think these would also make great take home treats for a child’s birthday!

St. Patrick’s Day Gift Tags & Treats

Hello there! It’s Mendi here today with some super fun treat ideas to share with your favorite people this St. Patrick’s Day! I have been holing onto these cute little clear tubes waiting for just the right project and was delighted to discover Rolos wrapped in gold foil are the perfect fit for them!

I wanted to dress them up with some tags and the Mini Kraft Pocket tags from the Home+Made collection were just what I needed! I love how they included the gold accents, gave me room to decorate the front and have the space inside to slip a tag telling my family how lucky I am to have them!

To embellish my tag I used a variety of cutting files purchased through the Silhouette store (linked below in my supply list). I love how this little pot of gold looks cut from the gold foil cardstock. Yellow jewels felt like the perfect finishing touch!

What would St. Patrick’s day be without a four-leaf clover? For this embellishment I thought it would be fun to add some bounce and an element of surprise so I created a homemade “wobble spring” using just some simple supplies I had on hand.

To create my spring, I followed these easy steps:

Step 1: Wind a fine gauge wire around a small straw or a pencil you have on hand.

Step 2: If you have created enough for more than one wobbler element, clip them into smaller increments.

Step 3: Depending on the size of your embellishment that this needs to hide behind, punch (2) .75″ or 1″ circles. Layering the two circles together, poke a small hole in the center of the circles.

Step 4: You should now have something that looks like this (for two wobblers).

Step 5: Wind the spring around the hole in the center of one circle and tape in place. Repeat for both ends of the spring.

Step 6: Your completed wobbler will look like this from the side view.

Step 7: I cut a second shamrock from contrasting patterned paper to lend a fun look when the top shamrock wobbles. Adhere the bottom of the wobbler spring to the center of your embellishment or desired surface.

Step 8: Add adhesive to the top of the wobbler and place your finished embellishment on top. That’s all there is too it! Super easy and really fun! 🙂

This fun little element would be perfect for cards or the top of a present as well! I hope I’ve inspired you to tell your friends and family just how lucky you are to have them this St. Patrick’s Day with some treats of your own! 😉

Valentine’s Day Treats for Kids

Hello there! It’s Mendi here today popping in with some sweet little Valentine’s Treats perfect for your child to exchange with classmates. As soon as I saw the sheet of 12 little Valentines I knew I wanted to find a fun project to use them on! I was looking for a project that would be easy to mass produce for a class of 24 children and could include some candy. What’s Valentine’s day without candy, right?

I decide on these sweet little sleeves filled with Sweethearts candy. Best of all I was able to get a 2 lb. bag making this a really affordable project to hand out. 🙂

Step 1: To create these, start by cutting your 12×12 paper into 4-inch strips. (you can get 3 treat bags from each piece of paper so including the sheets of cutout, I used 10 sheets of paper to make 24 valentines).

Step 2: Score your paper at 5″, 5.5″, 6″ and 11″. This will form the accordion fold at the bottom of your treat bag and the flap at the top. If you have a print that has a definite top and bottom, make sure to have the top of the print face the zero score line so that the patterned paper design will be upright when folded.

Step 3: Fold the treat sleeve along the score lines and add the 3×4 inch valentine to the front.

Step 4: Adhere a line of scor-tape just below the fold line of the top flap. Fill a small 4×6 clear bag with candies and fold over bag and adhere to tape. I calculated the 2 lb. bag gives each kid 25 to 30 candies for a 24-student classroom.

Step 5: Using a ruler, find the center of the bag and punch two holes in the top flap, punching through all the layers.

Step 6: String the holes with twine and tie a bow. A little trick I figured out to make the process quicker was to thread a fat needle with a long piece of twine so that I could easily thread the holes without my twine unraveling. This allowed me to tie 4 or 5 bows quickly before repeating the process.

There you have it! Easy and really fun to make! I decided to finish off mine by adding a little die-cut border to my flap for an extra detail, but they are cute either way.
