Sending Love Valentine's M&Ms Pull-Treats
 
If you remember the Snow Place Candy Bar Pull-Treat that I created last fall for my craft fairs, then you already get the basic concept behind these cute Valentine's treat holders.  Pull the ribbon and the treat slides out of the pouch!  Too Cool! 
 
These are smaller versions of the pull-treat holders that fit the fun-size M&Ms perfectly!  The 6×6" Sending Love Designer Series Paper Pack is the perfect size for making the holders, too!

Holder Basics—Each holder starts with a 4" x 6" piece of the Sending Love DSP, scored along the 6" side at the 1/2" mark with the Simply Scored tool.  I placed the "right side" of the pattern down on the table, folded back the tab, and added Tear & Tape Adhesive down the length of the tab.  I also added Tear & Tape along the bottom of the pouch. I carefully folded over the DSP to adhere flush along the tab and bottom, and used a Bone Folder to crease it nicely. 
 
Each Sending Love DSP Stack has 48 sheets, so it only takes a half pack to make enough for the whole class!
 
Pull-Mechanism—I punched a 1/4" hole at the top using a standard hand-held hole punch.  I threaded a 18" piece of the Real Red Stitched Satin Ribbon through the hole, meeting the ends at the top.  Then, I carefully slid the candy into the pouch, pushing the ribbon down the pouch and around the candy.  I tied the loose ends up with a piece of Whisper White Thick Baker's Twine, then trimmed up the ends.

Treat Décor—Now it's time to decorate the pouch any way you like!  I started with a Pool Party circle die-cut made with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and popped up with Dimensionals.  Next, I fishtailed the ends of a 2-1/2" x 1/2" piece of Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper with my super-sharp Paper Snips and tacked the banner down with SNAIL adhesive.

Love Notes Envelope—I used all of the varieties of Sending Love DSP, sometimes selecting the Real Red pattern and sometimes choosing the Whisper White patterned side.  I used the remaining little 2" strips to cut out coordinating envelopes with the Love Notes Framelits.  It's a tight fit to get the framelit on that scrap, but if you position them just right, you can get two envelopes from each leftover strip.  I just LOVE the little mini envelopes those framelits create!  Close up the flaps with just two Glue Dots and pop it up with Dimensionals onto the circle medallion.  I added a small Blushing Bride Glimmer heart, die cut from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits.

Love Notes Note—I also used the Love Notes Framelits to cut a tiny note that fits inside the envelope.  I stamped Sealed With Love hearts on it with Blushing Bride ink, and a sentiment from the same stamp set in Pool Party ink.  I love that the little note can be used to put a sweet message on the candy pouch!  You know kids will love that detail, too!  Adorable!
