Treat bag Ornament Holders - Gingerbread Kisses collection - Doodlebug DT project

Hello there! Are you all surviving the hustle and bustle of the holidays? It gets a little tricky this time of year to squeeze in some crafty time, but I made It happen this year by golly! I have adored working with the Gingerbread Kisses collection so much! I wanted to share a fun little treat holder with you today with a super fun pocket that holds a handmade ornament to give to all of those special someones on your list this year! 

I followed this blog post to create the boxes.  I used some 110-weight Kraft cardstock to construct my boxes. I did deviate slightly from the original and did not punch the hole to make it a door hanger.  I simply added a 1/2 inch score mark at the top of the bag and adhered it to the top fold-over flap on a bag of these yummy Gingerbread Ghirardelli Chocolates. I decorated the bag with the "Cookies for Santa" pattern paper and some Pistachio Swiss Dot Petite Prints. Such fun colors in this collection!

I also made my own little gingerbread-themed ornaments that were so easy to make and SO fun to decorate with all sorts of little bits! I love how this simple little ornament was made with some chalk paint and one of these plastic art palettes from the dollar store! They look just like a little muffin or cupcake tin and I loved how it went along with the whole baking theme of the Gingerbread Kisses collection.

 

Here are a few close-ups of the ornaments:

These were decorated with some die cuts from the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat ephemera packs. I also added a clay ornament from my stash. I added some peppermint enamel dots from the Peppermint Place Shape Sprinkles to the clay ornaments to match the collection a little better. I found these itty bitty cookie cutters at the craft store, so I added some hot glue to the cup, added a few cookie sprinkles, and then placed my little ornament in the cup. Such a fun little addition! I also added some plastic peppermint candies to the cups. The gingerbread friends are hot glued to a cinnamon stick and some pretty greenery.  I added a candy cane from the Icon Sticker sheet to the gingerbread friends. I also added a little bit of Stickles for some sparkle to the buttons and bows on the gingerbread.  The ornaments are finished off with a festive striped bow and then some twine hot glued to the back to act as a holder for the ornament. I just had the BEST time making these! Kids would LOVE to make these too! Just be careful with the hot glue! :)

After the ornaments had all been put together, I added them to the front pocket along with some paper shreds. I decorated the front pockets of the holders with some more die cuts from the Odds and Ends, Chit Chat, Bits and Pieces, Warm Wishes Shape Sprinkles, and Enamel Dots. I added a small Lily White Mini Doily over the top flap and then glued the holder right to the flap of the bag of chocolates.

A little group shot action! :)

I hope these treat and ornament holders have inspired you to create your own fun and festive gifts! The "Gingerbread Kisses" collection was perfect for this gingerbread-themed project, and I had so much fun making them! Have a wonderful Holiday Season and we will see you next time!  Happy crafting!
