I still don't find chocolate appetising. this is not a good thing. hot cocoa is okay, so that's a start. but regular chocolate? the thought still turns my stomach.
So, the answer is yes, you can do it with vellum, however, plain vellum rips pretty easily and vellum card stock (shown in pic) takes a little more to work around. Overall, I tried to make 5 in about what - 8 minutes? This included FINDING the vellum too
The vellum CS must have glue to hold it, and since I'm not patient, I opted for a pearl stick pin.
Enjoy!
