This idea would be suitable for both Valentines Day and Mother’s Day
I’ve used Twilight mints, using one wrapper to make the template from . I left the other wrappers on and just put the new wrapper over them, it was less fiddly.
The paper I have used is by Making Memories from the Love Notes range and have stuck the ends down with double sided tape.
I have added a small wooden heart and a clear flat back gem for extra fiddlefart.
The cello bag I have used is very narrow (2ins x 9ins) and can be found on e-bay as either pretzel or lolly bags. They cost about £1.99 for 50 plus p&p. I always have a good stock of them, as they are brilliant for little sweetie projects like this.
When I made these, I used Twilight Mints leftover from Christmas, but I have a funny feeling that the makers have only recently changed the wrapper to one single plasic wrapper (instead of the foil and paper layers) - but I am not 100% sure - it might be worth double checking, if you can, as it will have an effect on the overall appearance! Bum! I am now on the look out for a substitute mint!

Thats a fabulous idea Helen. The twilight mints I bought at Christmas just had the single sealed wrapper. xx
