FUN FOLD FRIDAY

I know it's not February yet, but I wanted to show you a cute little Valentine Treat Holder early enough that you will have time to make some yourself if you want.  I made 40 of these  - some for my sorority and some for the first graders I help with writing one day a week.

Each one holds a single Hershey Kiss and I found a bag of kisses wrapped with white paper.  It was the only one on the shelf and I have never seen white ones before.  I thought they would be perfect for this project.

I am not going to reinvent the wheel to tell you how to make these.  Click here to see the video by Brenda Quintana where she will show you what to do.  So easy, and her directions are great.  I also used the DSP from last year because I had some left over.  For any paper that has a directional pattern, here is a picture of how to place your paper on your Simply Scored so that the pattern will go down the side of the heart correctly.

Long piece is 4 x 1 and is scored at 1", 2", 3".  This piece can actually be cut any way at all because it all gets covered by the small pieces so it doesn't matter what the pattern looks like.

Two small pieces cut at 2 3/8 x 2 scored at 1" and 1 7/8".  Then follow Brenda's directions.

She suggested using Tombow and normally I would agree because I love Tombow Glue, but I used Fast Fuse and it worked great also.  It was easier to use and I didn't get sticky, icky fingers while creating.  Just apply your Fast Fuse close to the scored seams so your heart will retain its shape.
