Valentine's Day is tomorrow and if you've waited until the last minute to get a treat or gift together?  Grab a piece of 12 x 12 paper and create this pouch created by a simple origami fold!

This makes a nice size "pouch" that you can fill with treats or even a small gift.

I "sliced" some thin strips of Real Red card stock to use as filler and just tucked a gift inside wrapped in designer paper.  You'll see in the video below (the Halloween version) that there is quite a bit of candy tucked inside. 

Here's the video with the basic how-to.  Just look at all those goodies in there!

You can embellish your pouch however you'd like! These are fun and super easy to make!

Try making this project with any of our 12 x 12 Designer Series Papers that you can find in the Online Store HERE!

The Welcome Easter stamp set is so cute and was featured in my Facebook Live on Sunday with a fancy fold card  and a fun little basket.

• Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [100730] is cut 2-3/4" x 1--1/2"; scored at 5-1/4".  You will need some scrap for the main image.
