Sweet treat mini handbag tic tac holders.

Sweet treats are always fun to make for any occasion. I love making these mini handbags. I first created something similar to hold post it note, taking my original Idea I adapted it to hold Tic Tacs. A sweet treat I know can be found in many parts of the world and a popular and inexpensive treat for craft fair makes.

Made quickly and with minimal supplies these can be made in batches swiftly. To make this easy I have a full step by step video tutorial on my YouTube for you to follow. So grab a fresh cuppa, get comfy and enjoy the video.

Pretty lollypop party favours.

I'm busy as a bee trying out ideas for swaps at my up coming team retreat and our Onstage local event in April. Who doesn't love sweet treats ? I sure do and I love making them look pretty. I also love ideas which are quick and easy and you can use up your scraps with. This project covers all these bases.

I used the Starburst punch to create the holder for the lollipops I purchased locally. Flat ones work best here. Adding two together with a small gusset is so quick and easy you can make a batch of these in no time. Adding a punched sentiment using Stitched all around stamp set with the co-ordinating Coastal Cabana ink makes this treat look clean and fresh. I also added a small ribbon bow, a cute banner top using my classic label punch and a cute stitched edge heart cut from the stitched labels set.

You can make these literally in minutes and how cute !!! I do have a fast fun tutorial for you to follow so go grab a fresh cuppa, get comfy and enjoy the tutorial.

Products used are all listed below. Don't forget to comment on my post tomorrow morning for a chance to win some blog candy.
