It’s time for the Glitter Queens Blog Hop and this month we’re sharing treat holders!
My treat holder fits a pack of gum, perfectly! This is a project I’ve shared before but when you use brand new paper (I used Monster Bash Designer Series Paper), it becomes new again! Three months ago I joined Weight Watchers so I knew my treat holder couldn’t have chocolate in it (I LOVE chocolate) so I opted for a delicious pack of gum!Â
This little treat holder couldn’t be easier to make! You’ll need to do a little scoring and a little cutting and that’s it. Â It comes together really quickly! I don’t have a new video today creating my project using Monster Bash Designer Series Paper but I do have a video I made last year that will demonstrate how to make the holder and all the measurements (please note: Â the Designer Series Paper and stamp set used in the video are no longer available). Â You can find the video farther down in this post.Â
I used Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie cardstock to create the holder. A strong adhesive is needed to assemble the box so I used Tear & Tape. There’s a little flap on the front of the box that is held closed with Glittered Organdy Ribbon. The sentiment sits on  Silver Glimmer Paper and both were cut out using our Layering Circle Dies.  Sometimes it can be tricky getting things to stick to glimmer paper so I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  To attach the glimmer paper and sentiment to the box, I added more liquid glue to the upper half of the circle. Our Every Season Punch Pack has a cute little bat that I cut out using Basic Black cardstock and adhered with a glue dot (you could use the glue again but the dot fits perfectly).  I used Snail adhesive to attach the Monster Mash Designer Series Paper to the holder but again, you could use liquid glue.Â
This is the gum I used!

You’re very welcome, Barb! I’m so happy to hear that you made the holder and that you found it easy!
Very cute treat idea. The gum is awesome too.

Thank you, Davette! Congrats on your loss! I was a WW member about ten years ago and decided it was time to join again. Mark is on it as well so that makes it so much easier. I’m almost to goal and then the hard part begins – maintaining!
