  6. It's just called a sour cream container because there are some brands that place sour cream in it. You of course would put treats in it. The shape is done by twisting and stapling one end opposite of the other. Hope this helps 🙂

 Christmas Tree Ornaments
Instructions:
-Cut a triangle from printed paper or cardstock. Score and fold in half. Even up both sides with each other.
-Cut / score two more triangles, the same size. The one shown is approximately 3″ x 4″, but they can easily be smaller or larger.
-Add some white craft glue to half of a folded back (right side is folded inward) and place another folded half on top.
-Once all three are glued together, add white crafting glue to remaining side and down the middle.
-Add a strung silver bell, with red and white bakers twine in the middle as shown and press the two remaining sides together.
-Tie a knot to hang. Trim.
These simple trees can be made from your favorite printed papers. I love to make them from plain cardstock and let my grandkids decorate them with glitter, buttons, sequins and such… creating a memorable keepsake. This would be a great project for a classroom, especially if they were pre-done and ready to decorate with small hands. 
Enjoy! Brenda Birrell
These can be purchased as kits or even premade at Pebbles in my Pocket.
