C is for Cookie - Tina's Home Baked Treat Gift 3 - Mini Cookie Parcel

Hello Crafty Friends
Today Tina shares her final baked treat parceling idea. This series has been such great inspiration - for both getting into the kitchen and baking up some home made treats, and for packaging them in such beautiful ways to give as gifts. We hope you've been inspired to make at least one of them :)

Hi everyone. Today I have the third project from the set of home made cookie gifts.
There are so many of these projects on the internet, and I had chosen these three designs because they can easily be adjusted to any size.

Mini cookie parcel.

Start by cutting a 6'' x 6'' sheet of patterned paper.

 I used my We R Memory Keepers 1 2 3 Punch Board to shape the parcel. Line the paper on the  punch board as shown below on the 2'' mark. Score and punch.

Move the paper to the 4'' mark, then score and punch.

Turn the paper anti clockwise and do the same,  keep turning the paper until all four sides are punched and scored. fold all the score lines and burnish well.

Round the four corners with a corner punch.

Cut along the score lines marked in red.

Then glue the pieces marked 1 to 2 and 3 to 4.

Then glue the two remaining pieces up to form the parcel. Punch holes on the four top pieces.

I used some ribbon and twine to tie the top closed and decorated with some of the cut outs from the paper collection.

I hope you have enjoyed these three projects.

C is for Cookie - Tina's Home Baked Treat Gift 2 - Cookie Bag.

Hello Crafty Friends!
It's pouring rain here today - perfect for baking some lovely home made treats.
When you share those treats..... Tina's cookie bags are just perfect for giving them that extra special touch!

Hi everyone here is the second of my three easy home baked treat holders.

Cookie Bags.

Start by cutting the paper at 10 1/2'' x 6 1/2''.

Score at 3',' 5'', 8'' and 10'' as shown below.

Turn and score at 1/2'', 2'' and 4 1/2''.

Fold along all scorelines, folding the longer 1/2''  the opposite way from the other folds, ( this will be the top) burnishing all folds well. Turn the paper so that the long 1/2'' side is on the top and cut away the bottom left corner piece. Snip the bottom as shown in the picture below, cutting away a little more of an angle on the smaller pieces.

Fold and glue the right side to the left side 1/2'' tab.

Fold and glue the two smaller tabs on the bottom to each other then the larger ones  to close the bottom.

Tuck in the sides gently and pinch the top together letting it form naturally on both sides.

I added two holes on the top left and right sides making sure I went through the four layers on both sides and used ribbon from this months theme to hold closed. I finished the bag with a little tag and some cut outs from the papers.

A perfect little bag for some home baked goodies.

I hope you enjoyed this project, I will be back next time with the mini cookie parcel tutorial.
