I brought back the super easy matchbook candies for a few Halloween projects.
The measurements are below.
I used the pretty and not so scary Happy Halloween Stamps & Dies to decorate these two. The background paper is the newest collection from Jen Hatfield called Peaceful Heart
I'm going to put this one next because I used the same stamp set along with the Hocus Pocus 6 x 8 Paper Pad on this project.
This is a book style that holds 2 Ghirardelli chocolates. The book measures 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" Cut the cardstock to 5-3/4" x 2-3/4". Score at 2-1/2" and 3".
Back to matchbooks...
I made a couple of non Halloween treats because I wanted to use this pretty new paper, Peaceful Heart and the Puffy Leaf Stickers. I cut the flowers and leaves from one of the sheets of floral paper.
To make the matchbooks, cut the cardstock to 2-3/4" x 7-1/4"
Score at 2-3/4", 3-1/4" and 6-1/2".
The inside patterned paper is cut to 2-3/8" x 5-3/4".
Score at 2-1/4", 2-1/2", 2-3/4", 5". 5-1/4" and 5-1/2".
This has a 'w' fold on each side and is open at both the top and the bottom. I stapled it into the matchbook and then covered the staple with patterned paper. These matchbooks are sized for one Ghirardelli chocolate square. If you are using a different candy, you may need to adjust the measurements.
One last treat idea...
Happy Halloween!
