MADE BY: SAMANTHA TAYLOR | TIME: 10-15 MINS
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE | SIZE: 3 ½” x 4 ½”
Supplies:
- Glue Dots® Permanent Glue Tape
- Patterned Paper
- Scissors
- Candy
- Oval or Egg Shape Cutting Tool or Template
- *Optional Butterfly or Flower Embellishments*
Directions:
- Cut egg shapes. You will need 2 egg shapes for each single pocket. These eggs measure about 3 ½” wide x 4 ½” tall. The easiest way is to measure your piece of candy you want to use and add about 1” to both the width and the height.
- Use a pointy scissors to cut a jagged line about ¼ of the way down from the top of one egg.
- Place Glue Dots® Permanent Glue Tape around the far outer edges of the egg you just cut. Do not put adhesive on the jagged edge (the jagged side will form the opening to your pocket).
- Place this jagged edge piece on a whole egg and press the edges firmly together. Then, add flower or butterfly embellishments to the egg pocket if you’re feeling festive.
- Finally, stuff the pouch with your favorite sweet treats to complete your Easter-themed surprise pouch that everyone will be sure to love!
Optional Final Step: To create place cards, write each guest’s name on the outside of the egg pouch before placing the candy inside. For a non-candy gift, try stuffing the egg with nail polish, mini bubble containers, or cute shaped erasers!
