I went to a SU! party the other day and the demo had some samples of things she had obtained by swapping with other demos. One was a fun little candy holder. I thought I could remember how the Santa was made, but I couldn't so I found this fun Santa instead:
They are super easy and you can put little Nugget candies in the holder. I figured that the red strip has to be 2 1/4 inches and the strip has to be scored at 1 inch, 3 1/4 inches 5 1/4 inches and cut at 6 1/4. They you adhere the two 1 inch base pieces together. That took me forever to figure out - 3 tries at least! I tried different versions of the Santa and I liked them all.
Can't wait to make more of these - they are soooo cute.
