This is probably the easiest way to make treat containers for your kids or the kids at your school. I used a paper towel roll and cut it in half. I used $1 ribbon from Target. I cut out two hearts from Plantin Schoolbook at 1 1/2" and 2". Stamped a Peachy Keen stamp on the red heart and used $1 stamps from Target on the white heart. I used the Zip-dry glue to adhere the ends together. On the inside I have six Hershey kisses! It only took me about 10 minutes to make from beginning to end.

The photo is cut down to 3 1/2" x 6. The black mat is cut at 3 3/4" x 6 1/4" and the pink mat is cut at 4"x 6 1/2".
