If you want to make some last-minute Easy Easter Candy Treats, these will work! These are quick and simple and you can vary the size according to the candy treat you have to put inside. You could even not cut an opening in the front and just decorate the front for the occasion and tuck your candy treat inside. You can make these taller or wider.
These candy treat holders are 2″ x 8 1/2″ to start with but depending on your candy, you can cut them down a little shorter. The 2″ width is so the piece of cardstock will fit into the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. Cut the 2″ x 8 1/2″ strip of cardstock and punch each end in the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. Then place one end at the 3 3/4″ inch mark on the Paper Trimmer and score, then turn and place the other end at the 3 3/4″ mark and score. That gives you the little space in which to place your candy treat.
Before you put the candy inside, decide if you want a different color background inside. The Daffodil Yellow treat holder has a Whisper White piece stamped with the little green leaves in Welcome Easter, although you really can’t see them! The Melon Mambo treat holder doesn’t have an inside layer. However, on that one, I stamped the little flowers in the Welcome Easter Stamp Set on the front. The greeting is stamped from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set and punched out with the handy dandy Classic Label Punch. To decorate the Daffodil Delight holder, I just added some small Rhinestone Jewels.
I didn’t have any exciting Easter candy but these little chocolate bunnies which are pretty flat fit in just fine. So if you had a larger chocolate bunny, for example, you probably would need to make the base wider and therefore the strip longer in the beginning. Then you can die-cut or punch some kind of opening in the front. Just add a ribbon to tie the top together and you’re done!
Sometimes you need to give credit where credit is due so I must give credit to myself! I made a similar Easter treat last year but I had a cuter piece of candy to put inside! You can see that post HERE.
None of us will be having big family Easter dinners this year, so it would be easy to make one of these Easter candy treats to put at each place at the table for you and your spouse, or children, or whoever you are living with during this quarantine time.
