Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and those of you that are still looking for that "cute little something", may have found it here! Following are step-by-step instructions for sour cream containers. They're named this because they resemble the sour cream containers you get at fast food restaurants (Wendy's for example). These are perfect for kids' Valentine treats...they can even help you make them! They also work nicely as little surprises for husbands, moms, sisters, co-workers. You'll find you can make a lot of these inexpensively and fast! This is also a fun project for other occasions, as well. The possibilities are endless...they make great party favors...weddings, baby showers, birthday, Halloween...just change up the stamps, ink, and paper colors and have fun!

The paper size for each of these is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 (one quarter of an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper).

Stamp the image(s) on your paper.

---

Use Sticky Strip on the 5 1/2 sides, and regular adhesive on one 4 1/4 side.

---

Roll your paper towards the regular adhesive and secure. It should look like a TP roll.
Remove Sticky Strip backing.

---

Press one end and seal..."Squish" would be the technical term I use!

---

Fill with candy...not jam-packed full...just toss in a couple.

---

Squish the other end the opposite way of the 1st squished end...I crimp the ends, too!

For this project I used: Confetti White Paper, the Oh So Sweet stamp set, Chocolate Chip and Creamy Caramel inks, and Sticky Strip. You'll want to use Sticky Strip (or another comparable, extra sticky adhesive) because the ends have a tendency to come un-glued with regular glue. Here's another tip: If you use a Stampin' Around Wheel you can wheel the entire sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper and cut it apart...using a wheel on these makes them go extra fast!
