TEN TERRIFIC HALLOWEEN PROJECTS- PROJECT #2

Project #2 Lollipop Treat Pouch

With Halloween just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about treats for all those adorable Trick or Treaters who come by.  The Lollipop Treat Holder is a quick and easy project you can whip up quickly with very few supplies.

You will need a pack of the SPOOKY NIGHT DESIGNER SERIES PAPER (144610).  Cut the DSP into 6 in by 6 in squares.  I used the paper with the polka dots on one side and the cats on the other.  Take the square and fold it in half, point to point, making a triangle.  Now with the triangle point up on your work surface, fold the right side corner across the front of the triangle with its point touching the left side of the triangle.  Be sure you fold across keeping the folded edge parallel to the base of the triangle.  Do the same with the point on the left side.  See pictures below.

Using your BONE FOLDER (102300) firmly crease your folds then fold down the top front point over the other folded edges.  Secure the flap using a MINI GLUE DOT (103683).  Next to decorate the holder, I cut out a pumpkin image from another piece of the SPOOKY NIGHT DESIGNER SERIES PAPER using the BIG SHOT (143263) and LAYERING CIRCLES FRAMELITS (141705). Then using a slightly larger scalloped circle from the framelit set, cut out a scalloped circle using BASIC BLACK CARDSTOCK (121045).  Adhere the pumpkin image to the scallop then both to the front of the treat pouch using SNAIL ADHESIVE (104332).  Using a strip of WHISPER WHITE CARDSTOCK (100730) cut at ½ in by 2 ½ in, stamp the “Trick or Treat” sentiment with CAJUN CRAZE INK (126965).  Cut the ends to make a banner using PAPER SNIPS (103579) then adhere it to the front of the pouch using DIMENSIONALS (104430).

Punch a hole at the center of the bottom using a paper punch.  That is where you push the lollipop stick through.  I used Caramel Apple Lollipops that I purchased at my local grocery store.  Lastly, make a small bow using the BASIC BLACK BAKER’S TWINE (134576) and adhere it to the front of the pouch just above the hole using a MINI GLUE DOT. 

This adorable lollipop treat pouch is quick and easy and will be appreciated by all those ghosts and princesses who stop by on Halloween night.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.  I hope you are inspired to be creative and try some new things.  If you'd like to purchase any of the products you saw in this tutorial, go to my online store.  The link is below.
