Hi Cotton wool katie

'twas my humbug box ..... and it is very fortuitous that I had a ready prepared tutorial on my homepage ..... ........ (we bloggers have to be very careful not to infringe any MSE rules and are not allowed to link directly to our blogs) so I'll transfer it to here

It's quite simple to make, no fancy materials needed - just some brown paper, a brown felt pen and double sided tape - plus some humbugs - Martin would be proud!!!!





Cut a piece of light brown paper/light card 27 cm x 18 cm and draw lines with a thick brown felt tip pen - that will give the stripey humbug effect when the box is finished.



Turn the card/paper over and put a line of double sided tape (or glue) along one long and one short edge



With striped side facing up roll the paper/card to make a cylinder



And then flatten the bottom end.(see below)





To complete the carton/bag squeeze it together in the opposite direction to the bottom of the bag (I hope that makes sense) to form a triangular shape.





Now, is the time to fill your bag with humbugs.

When bag is filled, glue the two sides together and hold in place with a few clips until well stuck.



All that’s left to do now is decorate it with a tag or label. I’ve just done a bit of mat and layering, with my own handwriting and sprig of holly.



You could put sweets, toys and a motto/joke and make these in Christmassy colours as an alternative to crackers or as a different sort of goodie bag for children’s parties.
