You can see just how different one file can look! Paper color and candy type, along with the saying you choose to add, will make these favors a truly unique treat.

SUPPLIES:

• Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore
• Cricut Scoring Wheel (or scoring stylus if you have the Explore)
• Rainbow Candies
• 3″ x 4″ Self-Sealing Treat Bags
• 12″ x 12″ or 8.5″ x 11″ Cardstock
• Cricut Pens
• Hot Glue Gun
• Stapler
• Our exclusive, boho rainbow .SVG cut file available in our shop!

Create In Design Space

The first step is to login to Design Space and start designing your treat pouches! Stop by our craft file shop to purchase our exclusive Cricut cut file. Upload it to Design Space using the “upload” button on the left tool bar. Locate the file on your computer and select to add it to your canvas.

HOW TO EDIT:

Step 1: select all three “cut” lines in the layers panel. Under the “Operation” dropdown select score. After you make this change the three lines should then turn to dashed lines.

Step 2: add your own text! I filtered my text options by choosing the ones that had a “writing” style, since I knew I was going to use the Cricut pens.

Step 3: Then select the 3 score lines, the added text, and the card itself and click attach. This ensures that the Cricut will score the lines right where you want them to and place the text where you have placed it here.

Step 4: Select the pen color and type you are using for the text.

Step 5: Cut! You can fit 2 on one 8.5″ x 11″ page or 3 on a 12″ x 12″ page.

Let Your Cricut Work It’s Magic

Following the prompts to insert the pen, scoring wheel, and fine point blade when needed.

Crafters Tip: this file has delicate details! If you’re having cutting problems you’ll want to make sure you have a sharp blade and a sticky mat, along with the proper cut settings for the type of cardstock you are using. I actually had to replace my blade during this project and I tried cutting a cardstock that had some texture to it, and it didn’t work out well.

Carefully Remove From The Cutting Mat

Fold On The Score Lines

Gently fold the cardstock on the score lines that your Cricut created.

Fill The Treat Bags

Each of the 3″ x 4″ treat bags will take a little less than a 1/4 cup of candies. Peel off the sticky backing to seal the bags. The bags also perfectly fit 4 Smarties! I used Rainbow Nerds, Easter M&M’s, and Starburst Minis.

Assemble Your Treats

Now we are going to staple the candy bag inside of the pouch.

• Set the treat bag right the middle of the folded card.
• Fold the rainbow cut-out side up to the bag and staple.
• They should be able to stand up by themselves.

• Add a line of hot glue right underneath the flap
• Fold the back side up and around
• Fold the flap with the hot glue to cover the staples
• Press firmly to seal!

Always Look For Rainbows

What special event on your horizon will these darling rainbow treat pouches be perfect for? A baby shower? A first birthday party?
