You've all seen these online I imagine, so this will be a quick tutorial on folding.
Begin with a piece of 6" x 6" paper:
Fold diagonally to make a tri-angle:
With that still folded down, fold each side over lining up the open part of the fold with the folded down corner:
Unfold the sides pieces...
then fold the top fold down over the flaps:
Decorate and fill with goodies! For the candy corn bag I used the 2" x 8" Cellophane Bag and cut it down to a size that would fit and tied it off with Black Thick Bakers Twine.
Here is how I got the "odd" shape for the small sentiment. Punch a piece of Pumpkin Pie with the Pretty Label after stamping "eat at your own risk". Then slide it back into the punch and punch again as shown. I did it again with Very Vanilla but I couldn't get a clear picture!
Here is a close-up so you can see it better.
Thank you for looking in today! It's finally Friday! Wooo Hooo!
Have a great weekend!

Yummy looking in a sort of spooky way. I have made a few of these type of holders. They are fun to make. But, I love how you made the little Eat your own risk tag. So cute! I need that label punch! You could make little ghosts that way also. Very cute. I have not seen any little individual packs of candy corn yet. But, I guess I have not looked too hard. My blood glucose levels are being monitored more tightly right now as I ended up with big swings so trying to stay away from the candy pretty much. (Note I said pretty much! I can indulge in a cookie or treat now and then so I can monitor how I am doing with it)

Chris, the candy corn bags I made using our cello bags and cutting them down, but I bet there are trick or treat sized bags somewhere!
