I'm playing along with the
Tenth Annual
Month of Holiday Cards Challenge
~~~*~~~*~~~
(Beccy's post with "Z" inspiration words and
beautiful Z-fold card to inspire are HERE)
My "Z" project is Zig Zag.
The garland on my Christmas Tree is a single piece that
Zigs and Zags across the Christmas Tree treat box.
While making our 2022 Christmas cards, I'm also trying to prepare some Christmas craft activities for kids in our neighbourhood too. Today I'm preparing a sample and kits for making Christmas Tree treat boxes. I thought that little hands might enjoy decorating their very own treat box and getting it filled with tasty treats when it was finished.
These fun treat boxes were made using a cut file (see details and link in ingredients). The Zig Zag garland piece was a bit fiddly to adhere in place, so I decided that it would be too messy and challenging for little hands, so I adhered them on all the bases.
In case you were wondering,
these Zippy Christmas Tree treat boxes hold a LOT
... there are eleven Twix, yes, 11, inside this one
... and I could probably tuck in another couple if I tried.
Why eleven you may well ask, well that's a full packet...
Little hands can decorate these treat boxes in any way they want, using assorted rhinestones, sequins, glitter glue etc. I bought a bundle of little tubes of glitter glue, so that they can be included with each kit and any leftovers used for another project.

Great idea for the "z" prompt Tracy, that's clever thinking! Your little tree boxes are awesome and I'm sure the kids are going to love these... not sure how many treats will actually make it home, but I know they'll enjoy it!
