INSTRUCTIONS:
1-Measure & Cut Your Paper:
~Measure the length, width and height of you candy to determine the size you should cut your card stock The measurements of my candy are:
~Flaps at top & bottom are almost 2″ wide. This determines how wide to cut your cardstock. Mine is cut at 2″ wide.
How Long to cut your cardstock:
~Height: 2-1/2″ from the top of the flap to the solid bottom of the candy bar.
~This candy bar is 1/2? thick
~Double the Height measurement which will be 5″.
~Add the Thickness which will make the length 5-1/2″
~Then add 1-1/2 to 2″ to get the length to cut your cardstock. Mine was cut at 2″ x 7″ for a tighter fit.
2-Cut & Punch:
~If desired, pinch the corners together and cut little triangles off each corner.
~Punch a hole in the center.
3-Stamp:
~I put both stamps on the same block to stamp more quickly.
~Stamp one end close to the hole.
~Rotate your Strip and stamp close to the hole on the other end.
3-Finish Your Treat Holder:
~For two pieces of Candy: Attach them together with Glue Dots. Put Glue Dots on each one on the back-one at the top of one, and one at the bottom of the other. Also put a Glue Dot close to the center front. Attach your Candy Bars inside and press your Holder to your Candy where the Glue Dots are.
~For one piece of Candy: Put two Glue Dots on the back and 1-2 Glue Dots on the front. Attach to your Holder.
~Cut 6″ of Ribbon. Fold it in half and thread the folded part through your hole. Put the cut ends through the loop that forms and pull the ends tight.
Your Hocus Pocus Cat Treat Holder is finished and ready to give to someone special.
