Studio Sunday...

Hello Everyone!!!
Its my turn to host Sassy Studio Sunday!...
Today I have super quick tutorial for you all..a fun Carrot -shapped Easter Treat holder...
Lets start with the supplies....
 

 
Template, cardstock, ribbon, Scor-tape, 1/8" hole punch and a Sassy image...I used Sassy March Hare.
Step 1:
Here is a template for you all...

Step 2:
Print the template on the cardstock.... I always print in on the reverse side of the paper..

Step 3:
Cut it out and score it on the dotted lines..
 
Step 4:
Apply scor-tape or any strong adhesive on the narrow tab..like this.
Step 5:
Adhere the ends to form the treat holder and punch the holes using 1/8th hole punch..

Step 6:
Thread the ribbon thru the holes...
 
Step 7:
Tie the ribbon into a bow as closure...and add the colored Sassy image...

Now you have quick and easy Easter treat holder..
 
Hope you like this tutorial..
We would love to have you play along with us in this tutorial..use this technique, and an SSD image of your choice, make sure to link your your creation HERE by Saturday March 6th.
