This is an easy stocking stuffer idea for stick candy that you can make with supplies that you have at home.

This project is the Christmas re-make of a Halloween project shared earlier this year.

Here are the details for you to cut and assemble:

• Cut Designer Paper to 8 3/4" x 12". The designer paper used on this project is the Traditions Of St. Nick 12" X 12"Designer Series Paper [162355].
• Score at 1/2" on each long side.
• Note the direction of the pattern of your choice of paper for the outside of the holder. Score 4  3/4" from the bottom of the pattern.  Fold on the score line.  The short side is the front and the direction of your pattern should be going the right way.
• The St. Nick used for the front embellishment was fussy cut from designer paper. You could also stamp, cut, punch, or die-cut an image.
• The sentiment was stamped with the Stars At Night Bundle [162007] and fussy cut.  Fussy Cut = Cut out with scissors. :)
• The Silver and White 1/2" Sheer Ribbon [162149] was colored with the dark shade from the Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends Combo Pack [154890].

I hope you will try this little stocking stuffer!  Besides stick candy, you can also insert a fun pen or pencil, narrow lip gloss, nail file, or a highlighter.  If you'd like to insert something a little larger you could increase the width to 3" but keep in mind the diameter still needs to be about 1/2" x 3/4". We would love to see what you create with this idea!  Post over on our Ink and Inspirations Stampers Group on Facebook so we can all be inspired.
