New Year Favours Using Rainbow Twizzlers

When Lucy and I went shopping in Walmart in Las Vegas one of the “most wanted” things on my shopping list was a big bag of Rainbow Twizzlers …….
Rainbow twizzlers….. no wonder I had to pay for extra baggage on the way home!!
New year Favour. Rainbow TwizzlersIt’s a miracle that the said Twizzlers weren’t eaten between the time we got back and just after Christmas, when I made these favours, believe me at times I was sorely tempted!

Wearing latex gloves, I put a layer of white mini mallows at the bottom of each cello bag (to look like clouds), added a 6cm length of each flavour Twizzler, and then sealed the bags using my Elitech bag sealer.

I then made thin bag toppers using gold card, fastening them with double sided tape to the cello bags and sentiment tags using my Stampin’ Up plain and scalloped edge punches.

Your Twizzler treat bags will make your coworkers smile! Twizzlers are one of my husband's favorite candies; we often buy a big pack and eat them when we travel.

What a lovely idea - your colleagues will be over the moon (or rainbow with them)
