Self-Closing Treat Holder

Today’s project is a self-closing treat holder! The treat holder requires no cutting or gluing and holds itself together! Love it! Watch out, these are addicting to make! Here’s the group of them that I’ve made so far:

I was inspired by Jane Allmark’s Christmas version of these treat holders – so cute! Here’s a closer look at them:

And here’s how it can be stored flat:

Here are a few things that can fit inside: Lindor Truffle, Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, Peppermints, Hershey’s Kisses… and much more! It’s a great little treat holder to have a stash on hand for when you need one! Since it can store flat, it’s a great way to use up some of that beautiful DSP you’ve been hoarding holding onto!

Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:

And here’s what all the folds will look like if you were to open your paper back up:

  6. I like your treat holder, but the You Tubes are too fast for me. Do you have or can send written directions? Many thanks.

    • As Julie has mentioned, just pause the video as you go along. I do this more times than not, only to get the project done as intended to be. I think my mouse will need replacing by scrolling forwards and backwards. This does help me in whatever I do. Don’t give up Nancy, you can make this project.
