Halloween {Candy} Holder

I know that we have 6 weeks until Halloween but sometimes it doesn't hurt to be a little pre-prepared for big howl-days. I prepared a {FREE} little candy holder (that would also work for crayons or pencils or maybe fruit roll-ups) that you can print out, cut out, and tape together. It's pretty easy but I made a quick tutorial to show you how to put them together. You can find the links to the downloads after the tute!!

Supplies:

White card stock to print out the files

Scissors or a Paper Trimmer

Double-sided scrapbook adhesive or a Glue Stick

Washi Tape (optional)

Download, print, and cut out the holder pieces. The longer piece measures 2"x10" while the shorter piece is 2"x6.5".

Lay the longer piece of card stock upside down and fold up the printed "Happy Halloween" and make a really nice straight crease (use a bone folder if you have one). Using double-sided scrapbook tape or a glue stick, apply adhesive to the back of the short piece. Line up the shorter piece in the fold of the longer piece and glue together, matching up all the edges.

 There are 2 ways you can finish your holder - The first is to run a little scrapbook tape on the edges of the front piece and fold it down on to the backer forming your pocket. The second way is to use washi tape (or clear tape) to form the pocket. I just happened to have this polka dot washi tape that I found at Michael's in the Smash book  display rack. It's perfect for Halloween & all year round.

It's a little freaky how well it matches! Or should I say, Spooky!

Insert some pixie stix (or pencil, etc.) and a little plastic spider or bat ring and you've got yourself one awesomely spooky way to give the little ghouls and goblins a special Halloween treat. From me to BOO!

If you want to make these candy holders for yourself you can find the longer piece HERE and the shorter HERE!!  *please remember that these are for personal use only and it would be super awesome if you left me a comment if you do download the files :) Linking up: tatertots & jello
