Mini Daim bars simply wrapped in black card with bat wings from my scan n cut and googly eyes glued on.
Thanks to ‘Mixed Up Craft’ for the inspiration. Beyond her idea, I only created bat ‘ears’ by scoring a pillow box flap at the head end.
Rather than go and buy some sweeties in case we get callers – we are a bit off the beaten track for most trick or treaters – I whipped up some peppermint bites that we can unwrap and enjoy ourselves if not collected this weekend.
these are easy – about 5 mins once you have got the ingredients together, plus a couple of hours chilling time
3oz of Philadelphia type cream cheese, a tablespoon of softened butter, 3 cups of icing sugar (yes it is a lot), a drop or two of green colouring and a drop or two of peppermint oil
mix everything together and put teaspoons of the mix on a silicone or wax paper sheet – chill till firm
wrap in waxed paper and decorate for the season
apparently they will also freeze for a few months
A treat box or table gift ready to hand out which uses up some mini mint sachets…
It is basically a sandwich of matching shapes for front and back with a strip of scored card around the diameter to hold the contents inside.
For this one I cut a 3 inch pumpkin on the scan and cut, put acetate behind the apertures and fixed front to back with an improvised strip of card cut and scored as shown. To decorate I coloured, with a marker, the eye hole negatives put them back in place and then stuck on googly eyes and the little tendril to finish it off.
Now to make cars with windows, boats and other animals from the scan and cut. Easy project, good fun.
