I made this for a friend from church. We had a meeting to go to and I car pooled with her so I wanted to make a little treat for her to say thank you. I was going to make cookies, but we were out of eggs. Which also meant I couldn't make brownies or cupcakes. So I had to put something together that didn't need eggs and didn't need refridgeration. Okay, so anything in the fridge was out, but I still looked.
Every now and again, we buy the really big bag of M&Ms. For some reason, this past time we bought them, I felt the need to seperate them by color and put them in different baggies then put all those baggies into a large baggie. Tom has eaten most of them.
"All but the red and orange," I said out loud.
"Orange. Orange? Orange you gunna think of somethi-- ORANGE! ORANGE YOU SWEET!" It hit me with suprising force.
So that is how I came up with this!
ORANGE YOU SWEET!
This will be my first tutorial so be nice and bear (rawr) with.
Supplies:
- your choice of amount-orange colored candy (I used M&Ms)
- 1-clear goodie bag with twist tie
- hot glue gun
- stick glue
- 6-8 inches-orange ribbon (shown with 1.5 inch cut off already)
- hole punch
- sissors (not shown)
- matches or lighter (not shown)
- "Orange You Sweet" tag (I couldn't figure how to post a print out, email me if you would like the tag print out)
Step 1:
Fill clear googie bag with your orange candy and tie it closed.
Step 2:
Print out and cut "Orange You Sweet" tags. Paste together. Hole punch. Cut off 1.5 inch of ribbon. Make a loop through the tag's hole and hot glue it closed.
Tada!
Step 3:
Burn ends of remaining ribbon to keep from fraying.
Step 4:
Thread ribbon through the loop on the tag. Write "To" and "From" on the back or write a little note of thanks.
Step 5:
Tie the tag onto the bag of candy.
I kind of looped around and thread it through the loop again to make sure it was secure.
You should now have a sweet little treat to give someone to remind them that they are appriciated by you.
