I have not posted stocking stuffer items in a long time. I actually made these for my beading students last night. I wasn't planning on making these, it was one of those last minute things. I thought it would be a fun little thing to give them.
These are extremely easy to make too. I cut my Garden Green card stock to 5-1/4" x 2-1/8". You can adjust the width size if needed (the 2-1/8" one). If you have a larger image you can widen the holder. You can widen it enough to hold 2 life savers!!
I scored the piece on the long side at 1/2", 1", and 3-1/4". I folded the 1/2" and 1" scored lines towards the inside. Then I set the life saver in the opening and I stapled it shut.
My snowman came from an old Provo Craft set I had. I thought he was cute plus he was the perfect size. I stamped him and then punched him out using the 1" circle punch. I also punched out a 1-1/4" Real Red piece for the layer. I glued them in place. The cover bulges a bit and I thought it would cause the circles to lift off if I had used tape. I suppose I could have left the card stock at 5-1/2" and then scored at 3-1/4" to give the top a flat area to accommodate the candy better. You can try that and let me know how that works for you.
Anyway, after the glue dried I closed the top like you would a matchbook cover. As simple as that. I made 6 of them in just under 10 minutes!!! Super easy and super fun! What a nice little teacher gift too! And not to forget, a fun little stocking stuffer.
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
