Every year I try to make little Easter treats to give out to friends and people we deal with on a regular basis - like the folks who work at our bank, grocery store, neighbors, etc. This year I found this tutorial to make these tiny boxes for treats and decided to just dig into my stash and use random bits of paper, card stock, ribbon and die cuts. These treats hold mini peppermint patty Easter eggs, Reese's Peanut butter Easter Eggs, and some Ghiradelli Easter Bunnies and Eggs. I've been making them over several months and working on them a little at a time to get them completed by Easter. I made over 70 of them :)
I got to use lots of punches with these too, and printed some of the circle sentiments and colored them by hand. Everything was random as I grabbed this and that and just put them together.
Every year we're invited by a dear friend to a large gathering of folks for Easter dinner, so I always take along a basket of treats for everyone. 30 of these are going to that Easter dinner this year. This is just a sampling of some that were made - there is a huge basket filled with them.
I'll share my project with the Snippets Playground #350 which of course is to use your snippets. I may have used more snippets than ever before with all these little treat boxes :)
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great weekend!

What a thoughtful idea and beautiful little treat holders love all the papers and great way to use all those offcuts too.

These treats are fabulous, Carol! Love that they are all different and that you used a different variety of candies! Definitely a great way to use up a bunch of paper, too! I may have to case this project for my gang for Easter as I don't have anything made for them. Thanks for sharing the link! I'm sure everyone at Easter dinner is going to love these! Great job! Have a great Sunday! :)
Ohhhh... 70 of them??!! I'm really stunned, how many lovely treat boxes you have made!!! You have been so busy! Love especially that purple one with dots and bunny, but they looks all adorable and it's great you used your snippets!!! Take a golden bow! :D

I'm in awe, Carol! What a wonderful example you are of kindness! I think Di should make up a Doctorate degree for the person who uses the most snippets in a year solely for the purpose of spreading happiness! You, my sweet friend, are an inspiration and you are well-loved and appreciated by many!! Hugs, Darnell
Wow Carol - I think you just broke the record for using up snippets! What lovely treats and so many as well! Dudley and I take our hats off and bow (wow) very low - clever work!
