I believe “sour cream treat holders” have been a staple since I started stamping so here is my Turkey Sour Cream Treat Holder!  The basic concept is that this simple little treat holder is shaped like sour cream packets come in/used to come in??  The top side is closed one direction and the bottom side is closed another direction.  They are very simple to make and very popular in the papercrafting world!  You can make them for lots of occasions and decorate them to look like lots of different characters like this turkey.  On Pinterest (of course!) I also saw a Pilgrim and an Indian that were very cute for Thanksgiving.

Here is the turkey sour cream treat holder from the side.  Just be sure to put your treat inside before you seal up each end!  If you have a paper crimper like we used to sell but you can probably still buy in a craft store, it is handy to use that along with adhesive to close up those ends, and it looks very decorative.  I didn’t use mine on this turkey.

Here is a diagram from a past sour cream container in this post if you need more directions:

Make a roll out of the paper and adhere along the side.

After adhering one end, pinch closed the opposite end going the other direction (after putting in your treat!).

To decorate the turkey, die cut or punch some paper feathers.  I used the leaf die in the Nature’s Roots dies.  You can use any left shape or punch out ovals in different colors.  The beak is just a hand-cut triangle over a fold.  The waddle is just a die-cut heart or you can use a punch or just cut one out!  For the eyes, just punch out two circles, like with the 1/2″ Circle Punch and then two smaller circles from the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.

So simple and yet you end up with a cute treat for Thanksgiving!
