FUN FOLD FRIDAY

Today's project is so cute.  I saw the pattern somewhere, but, I apoligize, I can't remember the girl's name. I will show it to you first and then give you pics and directions.  I made 20 of these for my oncology nurses and doctor. I try to take a treat in each month.  Here is the final product:

The message seems a little hard to read, but I thought it was perfect.  It says "If you could see my face, you would see the smile that you put on it."  The message is from a retired set called Thankful Thoughts.  It is so appropriate for this project.

You start by making a diaper fold treat holder out of  two pieces of 6 x 6  DSP.  If you don't know how to do that here goes:  Fold your piece in half to make a triangle.

Bring the right corner up to the left side so that your folded piece is straight across.  Crease with your bone folder.  Then bring the left corner up to the right side, aligning your edge with the edge of your first folded corner.  Crease again with your bone folder.

                          

Put a little adhesive or Tombow Glue on the top pointed piece and fold down over your first two folded pieces.  You should still have one pointed piece left in the back.

                

Now do the same with a second piece of 6 x 6 DSP.

Put a little adhesive on one of the points that will be the bottom piece.  Now slide the two together.

          

Cut two pieces of string 5 1/4" long.  Lift the corners up slightly and put a dab of Tombow inside.  Slide your two end pieces into the flaps where the glue is and press to hold for just a short time. Put your treat inside.  For some I used two mini Kit Kats and for some I used one regular sized Kit Kat.

            

All the nurses loved them.  They are all so great, and, especially during these trying times.

I hope you will give this a try and pass some out to some special people you know.  

Thanks for visiting.
