Easter Treat Holders by Patti Milazzo

 

Therm O Web Supplies:

Therm O Web Mini Runner – Tape
Therm O Web Zots – Small
Therm O Web Zots – Medium
Therm O Web 3D Adhesive Foam – Squares

Other Supplies: 12” cardstock, assorted cardstock scraps, feathers, buttons, 12” lengths of ribbon,

 

Instructions:

  1. With a 12 x 12 piece of white cardstock, score/fold up 3.5” and crease.  This will create a pocket for the front.  Then score/fold the 3.5” on each side, wrapping the sides around the back and crease.  The scoring can be done using a board/tools or simply by eye, it does not need to be exact.

  1. Next use Medium Zots to adhere and secure the back folds in place.

  1. Hole punch the 2 top corners to add ribbon later.
  2. Cut 2 strips of white cardstock and 2 strips of pink cardstock that is ½” narrower.  These will be the bunny’s ears.  Use a corner rounder punch on the top corners.  Apply Mini Runner Adhesive Tape to the back of the pink strips and layer the pink onto the white strips.

  1. Apply Medium Zots to the bottom front of the ears and secure them inside the pocket.  Bend them a bit for that cute, floppy look!
  2. Punch a pink oval for cottontail’s nose and apply Therm O Web’s Adhesive Foam Squares to the back.  Remove backing and apply the oval to the center of the front pocket.

  1. Apply Small Zots to the back of buttons and adhere the eyes just above and along the side of his nose.

 

Note: For the chick, adhere a triangle beak punched from orange cardstock also using Adhesive Foam Squares.  The feathers were “sandwiched” between 2 ovals with Medium Zots, then the sandwiched cardstock ovals were adhered inside the pocket in the same way as the bunny ears, using Zots.

These treat holders can be made as simply as they are here or more elaborately for party favors.  Either way, they make a great “go to” craft for little ones during the holidays or any time of the year.

Happy Spring & Happy Easter!
