Mini Self-Closing Treat Holder with Video Tutorial

First of all, I would like to wish my wonderful Dad, John Ferlito, a very Happy 70th Birthday today! He is my biggest cheerleader and I am forever grateful for his unconditional love and thoughtful wisdom and guidance all my life. Thank you, Dad! You are loved more than you know!

Now, for today’s project! I created this mini self-closing treat holder to perfectly hold a Dove Promise!

I saw this similar project shared by fellow UK demonstrator, Ann Melvin (Ann’s Happy Stampers). Her dimensions are in metric, so I converted them to inches and tweaked the measurements slightly to fit a Dove Promise! I chose to use the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper with a sweet ‘Enjoy’ sentiment from Stampin’ Up!’s Banners For You stamp set. Here’s my video tutorial:

Here’s the template I showed during the video:

I hope you like this project and will try making these sweet treat holders! If you decide to create one of these, please share on social media with the hashtag #paperpixie and I’ll keep an eye out. Thank you for stopping by!

Measurements:
  • Coffee Break Designer Series Paper – 3-1/2″ x 4-1/2″, scored along the 4-1/2″ side at 2″ and 4″, and scored along the 3-1/2″ side at 1″ and 2-1/2″ (see video tutorial and template for remaining score lines)
Supplies (click on any product to shop online):

All you need are stamps, ink, and a little Paper Pixie!

  1. Question, if you do not have the tag punch, what else can it be used.

    Thanks. Jess.

    • Hi Jessica! You could just round the corners with a corner rounder (you may want to trim the top a little bit) and you could punch a couple of holes and tie a ribbon through!

  2. Any chance I could get dimensions for taller container? Not real good at different sizing. Thanks. gcwa

  4. Loved your post, thanks for giving the size in inches. Most of the self-closing boxes are too large. This box is perfect for a small treat.

  7. I do believe I like the mini better than larger you did a couple years ago. Just so cute. And the diagram is a huge help for me!! Happy Birthday to your Dad! I hope he got a mailbox full of good wishes ❤
