4 WEEKS OF HALLOWEEN Project #2 Fold Over Treat Pouch

It's Week 2 of my 4 WEEKS OF HALLOWEEN Series and I'm excited to share with you my second project.  Lets face it, most of the projects we need to make for Halloween are to hold treats of some kind.  For the kids in the neighborhood, the kids at school or your friends at work.  Everyone loves to receive a sweet treat at Halloween.  Today's project is the Fold Over Treat Pouch.  This pouch can hold a lot of goodies and you can make two of them from a single piece of designer series paper.  We will be using the TOIL & TROUBLE SUITE again.

Check out my September 3rd blog post to see more details about this suite.  I've always loved frogs and I could wait to find a way to use this adorable paper.  So cute.

Project Instructions

1.      Cut a 9 1/2in by 6in piece of Designer Series Paper.

2.      On the 6in side, score at 1in and 5in.

3.      On the 9in side, score at 1 1/2in, 5in and 6in.

4.      Crease all the score lines.

5.      Holding the paper in the landscape position, cut on all the vertical score lines up to the closest horizontal score line.  Cut off the two small rectangles made by the 1 ½ in score line.  This piece will now be the panel that flaps over the pouch.

6.      Use your PAPER SNIPS and wedge the two small square flaps remaining to make it easier for them to fold into the pouch.

7.      Put Tear & Tape on the inside of the rectangular flaps farthest from the fold over panel. Fold the box up and adhere, putting the flaps closer to the top inside.

8.      Gently squeeze the pouch to make pleats on the sides.  Fold over the top panel and make two holes in the center using the 1/8^th inch Circle Punch.

9.      Using a piece of glitter ribbon, tie closed the pouch.  Cut out a strip of Whisper White card stock at 2 1/4in by 1 in and a strip of Granny Apple Green at 2 3/8in by 1 in. 

10.  Using Memento ink, stamp the frog image and the sentiment on the white strip, color in the frog using the Granny Apple Green Stampin Blends Combo Pack.  Adhere it to the other strip using snail adhesive and then to the treat pouch using dimensionals.
