In addition to the cookie boxes I shared in my last post, I also had enough time to put together two kinds of bunny treat boxes to share with friends and family for Easter.
Inspired by all the very cute and creative Easter treat boxes posted online made by others, I put together this very simple bunny treat holder using the cut file for a bunny from a shaped
Easter Bunny Card designed by Lori Whitlock.
By welding a mirror image of the bunny to the original with a rectangular gusset, and by adding two holes to the necks, I was able to place a small cello bag of treats in between and secure it in place with ribbon tied into a bow. And of course I couldn't forget to add a pompom for a cute bunny tail.
My second bunny treat box is not really a box, but a
"Bunny Candy Wrap" from My Scrap Chick, which was originally designed to hold a 1.5 oz Hershey Chocolate Candy Bar.
I saw a post on their Facebook page where crafters had decreased the size of this template to hold smaller sized candy bars and decided to try changing the size too. Instead of a bar of chocolate, I wanted make mines to hold Yoku Moku Cigare cookies so I enlarged the template to be taller and deeper.
Bunny's bow tie serves as the belly band that keeps the wrap closed.

By enlarging the wrap, I was able to fit three cookies to into each holder. I especially liked that these came together very quickly because no gluing was required to create the wrap. I had fun putting together 15 sets of the two Easter treat holders; the later Easter date gave me extra time to spend crafting. Did you know the day Easter's falls on each year depends on the moon cycle? It won't be for another 5 years for Easter to be late in April again. Next year Easter falls during the first week of April so I may not be as productive! Hopefully I'll remember to start planning early.
