I loved the look of these hot cocoa packets by Bellagio, then I had to have more chocolate to go with them...mmm...I got special holiday Cherry Cordial Creme Hershey's kisses because of the cranberry colored wrapping.
This bag was inspired by one we made in my SU! club meeting recently (I didn't come up with it.) My demonstrator, Shari Taylor, had it all pre-cut and scored, so I pulled it apart and measured it for my bag here. If you want to make one, here are the dimensions: 1. 3x11" piece of paper scored at 5" and 6"-here vellum used; 2. 2 1/2x3" scored at 1 1/4-for top; 3. 2 1/2x8 7/8" scored 3, 4, 7 and 8" and at 1"-for the candy holder. Cut holder piece on scored lines on the short side, cutting the last small corner (1") off. Put together with d/s sticky tape. Stamp vellum or paper, secure top on with adhesive or fasten with brads or ribbon or whatever you wish. Fill holder with candy and you have a sweet gift for someone special! tfl
