Holiday Bazaar Twisty Treats

Next up on the bazaar table are the Twisty Treats:

These little goodies are stuffed with M&M's candies (but can hold any small item),and can be made in any size.  The Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack were the perfect size for my project and I used all 4 designs.

Taking the piece of 4-1/2" x 6-1/2" paper, I added Sticky Strip to the two long sides and, flipping the paper over, one short side.  First make a tube by adhering the short ends together; remove the Sticky Strip from one of the long sides (this should be on the inside of your tube) and squeeze the end closed. 

This is the important part:  FILL YOUR TUBE!

Then remove the other piece of Sticky Strip, and squeeze the end closed, but on the diagonal ("twisted" from the first end--so if the seam of your tube is on the side of the squeezed end on the bottom, have it in the middle of your squeezed end on the top).   Using a crimper, insert each end into the crimper and crimp about 3/4" of the ends. 

Then it's time to decorate:

The Pop 'N Place Holiday Gift Tags and Christmas Tagables Photopolymer Stamp set make this easy--just add a few more layers with other punches and tie it all up with Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine. 

These look so cute on your holiday table or in a basket as a take-home favor...try it!

Let's get creating!
