How to make Sweet Treats
I made these pouches as stocking fillers for Christmas, but they could quite easily be used for weddings or parties too!

Step 1

 
 
 
 
 




Using double-sided paper, cut a square of 15cm and fold it corner to corner to make a triangle.

Step 2

 
 
 
 
 




With the point of the triangle facing up, fold the bottom corners up and across, in turn, to make a pentagon shape.

Step 3

 








Finally, fold the top point down and secure with a glue dot or brad or simply fill with treats :-)



How to make pouches
These pouches have been called different things.  I’ve seen them called sour cream cartons and pouches, but I think they look like Jublies…..or am I just showing my age with that!  :-)  I used these to make my Advent Calendar, the only difference being I left the top open, punched a hole centrally and threaded them onto a cord before hanging them up.


Step 1











Trim a 6x6’’ patterned paper to 10.5cm (apologies for mixing metric and imperial!).  Discard the smaller strip.

Step 2










Stick double-sided tape on both long sides and one short side and remove the backing from all strips.

Step 3










Roll the paper in to a tube, adhering the short side without the tape to the short side with the tape.

Step 4










With the seam facing you, pinch one end together making sure the tape sticks together.  You should have a wedge shape.

Step 5










Add your treats to the other end of the pouch and then pinch the top edge together at right angles to the bottom edge.

Step 6










To give it a professional finish, you can use a paper crimper to crimp the edges.

Step 7










Finally, punch a hole in one edge and thread with ribbon to trim.
