Hi stampers! Today I am going to show you how to make this candy holder and when you open it up, it holds a little mini Hershey candy bar. So let me show you what you are going to use for this.

I am using the chocolate chip cardstock and let us cut it at 2 ½” x 11”. I am also using the Hawaiian Papaya designer paper and let us cut it 2 ¼” x 10 3/2”. And then I am also using the scallop punch and the 1 3/8” circle punch. And this is using tangerine tango. And then you are going to use approximately 10” of the chocolate taffeta ribbon. Okay so let us go ahead and get started.

I am going to score my chocolate chip first. And we are going to score that at 2 ¾”, 3 ¼”, 7 ¼”, 7 ¾”, 9 ¼”, and 9 ¾”. Okay, so then once you get all that scored, I am going to go ahead and adhere my designer paper first to the chocolate chip.

Okay, so this is actually got to fold this way. This is going to fold this way.

Okay, so where that little step thing is right where you going to punch your word window punch. So go ahead and punch that out and you can set just by sliding that in pretty much all the way and just center it between the cardstock, and then just punch it out.

So then, this is going to actually make your little pocket there to hold your candy bar. And then I am going to go ahead and add some dimensionals to the top of that edge. I am just going to add two dimensionals there. And then for the guide, you want to use the bottom of your candy holder as your guide because you want that to sit pretty flat. So then, I am just going to adhere that down like that, so that it sits square right here and then the candy bar, which I have and I will use Crunch Bar right here. We will just slide right in there like that. And then you are going to go ahead and seal it up with the scallop circle punch in the 1 3/8” circle punch. And I use the Best yet hostess level one stamp set.
And now I am going to put three dimensionals on the top side but on the backside of it.

This just gives us extra security so it stays in place.

Okay, then you are just going to kind of eyeball as far as sitting flash there too because you want to have that square here. And then apply your little tag there. And then on the center part here, we are going to adhere the taffeta ribbon for the handle. I am going to use the sticky strip for that.

Peel that off.

Okay, so there is your handle there. And then I have some Velcro that I already precut to little pieces at the sticky part and little soft part. And I am going to put the Velcro on there and I am going to adhere the other part to that so it lines up perfectly when I push it down. And then using that side against because you want to have that sits square, and just push that down. I am just going to put my finger inside there to give it some more stability to push it down. And then it opens up.

Cute! Okay, that is it! Here is the other one. Thanks for stopping by, we will see you later bye!
