Today, I have another example of how you can use the retiring Bella's Bloom as a cute little accent. It's featured on a special treat holder that I demonstrated last fall as a stocking stuffer. What a hit this one was!
TIP: This project alone is
reason enough to buy the retiring Slot
Punch before it's gone!
Bella's Bloom Candy Bar Pull
I absolutely love this
candy bar treat holder! (Of course, I had to add a place holder for the
candy bar in this photo, because I ate all of them!) Pull the ribbon and it pulls
the candy bar along with it—no need to untie it. It makes a fast and
easy gift for any occasion!
You can find the tutorial for these
at Splitcoast Stampers: Candy
Bar Pull Treat
Although the tutorial is for Hershey Bar size,
you can use the same idea for any size of candy bar.
- Measure your candy so the paper/card stock wraps completely around
it. - Adhere pouch on three sides with Sticky Strip.
- Use the retiring Slot Punch (you need this punch!) to create
the ribbon hole. - Measure enough ribbon to run length-wise around your candy, and
still have enough to tie. Use ribbon that is at least 1/2" wide, but 5/8" or 1" is better. Thread through the slot holes, push ribbon
down into the pouch with the bar, then tie off. - Crimp the end with the Crimper. This secures the end, so it won't pop open. Plus, it looks more finished.
- Decorate!
Bella's pretty bloom fits right inside the Large Oval Punch, so it
made a nice medallion on the front. Like my previous post, I used markers to color the image: Regal Rose, Rose Red, and Olive Green. Accent is layered on Scallop Oval Punch and Wide Oval Punch pieces.
