Difficulty:
(2/5)

Supplies

• York Peppermint Patties
• Adhesive
• Paper cutter
• Various colors of card stock
• Pattern paper
• Scallop punch
• Round punch to fit inside the scallop punch
• Stapler
• Plastic baggies (I got these at JoAnn Fabrics and they were 5"x4")

Instructions

1. Punch out two of each color of card stock (8 scallops total) that you want to use with your scallop punch. Then punch out 4 circles from the pattern paper...one for each piece of candy.
   
2. Use your adhesive to attach the 4 circles to 4 of the scallops. Use one of each color.
   
3. Apply adhesive to the tops of 4 York Peppermint Patties and attach the scallops with the pattern paper to them. Center them as best as you can.
   
4. Now attach adhesive to the bottom of the patties and place the coordinating color of card stock to the patties. It makes them look like little sandwiches!
   
5. Put all 4 patties into your plastic bag and seal the ziplock on it. The bags don't need to have a ziplock on them, but I liked the size of these and it ensures that what I have inside the bag won't fall out or can be saved to eat later depending on what you put in the bag.
   
6. Cut a piece of pattern paper 3" by slightly wider than your bag. Mine was about 4 1/4" by 3". Then fold the paper in half lengthwise. You will have about 1 1/2" of overlap on each side of the bag when it is finished.
   
7. Place the paper over the top of the baggies so the top touches the crease in the paper.
   
8. Staple the paper to the baggie. I used 3 staples....one in the center and two on the sides.
   
9. Before you attach the top piece of paper, you could always stamp on them with words, attach ribbon (which could be done after as well by threading it through the paper and the bag), or any other embellishments you would like.

There are limitless possibilities to this project. I attached some pictures of ones I did for Christmas to give away. On the first one, I stamped swirls and "very merry" white paper and then used my Cuttlebug to emboss it before I attached it to the scallop. It gave them a very festive look. You could really put anything inside these bags and decorate the top. They look very professional and make great gifts!

Enjoy! Have fun with these and I would love to see your creations.
