Counting the Days to Christmas with Treat Holders! Yum!

Hello to all and hope you are celebrating the season with those you love. I made these matchbook holders to hold a single treat. Stick them in with pop dots and watch the smiles as they are opened. Thanks to Alicia from SU, who originally taught me how to make them. 
Make someone in your life smile with a small treat. 




To make a matchbook, cut a piece of cardstock 3"x 6.5". Lay lengthwise along a scoreboard and score at 3", 31/4", 6". Fold on score lines to make matchbook shape. Staple the bottom fold and cover with a strip of paper to hide the staple and embellish with scraps. I was happy I could use up odds and ends to decorate mine. Have fun. They all turn out differently. Thanks for looking! Come back again.

      Thanks for the positive comment, Darnell. Merry Christmas to you.
      PS. If you make the holders 31/4 inches wide, you can enclose a gift card.

    This is a terrific idea for just a sweet, thoughtful little gift. I haven't tried a matchbox yet, but just might have to try. Thanks for joining us at ATS&M for Anything Goes.
