Good morning crafty friends
If you have an abundance of 6"x6" papers this technique is a quick and easy one to make and not just for Christmas!
(just noticed I'm missing one forward slash before the wwws!)
You need a 6"square piece of paper, scoring board, tape, 2" punch or die (quicker if you have the punch) and a few embellishments
I chose to punch a hole in the above and add ribbon although that's not really necessary
With a 2" circle punch, or die, cut away the paper in the centre
Score either side of the 'shoulders', there's isn't an exact measurement but you can see how I scored mine
At the bottom of the paper score 1/2" then cut away to two end pieces as above
Add tape to one side and the tab at the bottom
Adhere the sides then the bottom
There is quite a bit of room inside. Ideal for little treats or candy canes which is what I'm going to fill mine with and when I buy one of those small white skeleton trees (I've seen them in Hobbycraft) I'll hang them on that in the hall

What a good idea - I have plenty of odd 6 X 6 papers (& some 12 X 12's). Ideal for little pockets, and flat enough to pop inside a cad to send!
