Toxic Treats Tic Tac Holder FREE Tutorial

Hello there,

I'm here today with the tutorial I promised you making a Tic Tac holder for Halloween. I just love Halloween, it's second only to Christmas in our house but unfortunately the weather forecast is predicting rain tomorrow, boo! Fingers crossed they are wrong eh??

So, the tutorial. By following this tutorial you can get 6 of these holders from one A4 sheet of card (I used Old Olive card for these) so it's quite economical which is always good when you have a lot to make! 

So, let's begin by cutting your card down the length, in half at 10.5cm and then cut each piece into 7.5cm sections

 Score at 4.5cm and 6cm along the 10.5 side as shown here

 Next I stamped the gate from Toxic Treats in Old Olive ink onto what will be the front of the holder

 Then embossed with the Chevron Folder, you can get 2 in the new bigger folders if you are making a batch

 This is what it looks like when embossed

  stamp the gate again but in Staz On on to white card this time

 Punch out with the 1+3/4" circle punch

 then ink all the edges and crease lines with Basic Grey ink and a sponge for a spooky effect

 add a small piece of red line tape to the centre front 

 and add a 45cm piece of ribbon to the tape, ensuring the centre of the ribbon is positioned in the middle of the centre scored section

 add some dimensionals to the back of the punched gate image

 and adhere over the ribbon, lining up the image 

 adhere the tic tac's to the inside with more red line tape

 finish by tying the holder closed using the ribbon

and here are some of them together, they really didn't take very long at all and I will definitely be making more for Christmas ;-)

 Well, I hope you have enjoyed this little tutorial and if you have a go at making some then please remember to share them with me, I love to see what you make ;-)
