Peachy Keen 3D Candy Holder

I am pleased at the ease of this project. This goes back to Girl Scout Swaps of years gone by.
I am going to end up with a basket of paper carrots filled with jelly beans.

For this project it is important to use a heavy adhesive so it stays together. I like to use the Red Roll of Double Sided Tape when I need strength.

I used Peachy Keen PK575 Basic Paper Doll Faces and added a little pizzaz with acrylic Paint Daubers in Watermelon. The stamped face is with Forest Green Stazon with a White Pentel Sunburst Gel Pen for the eyes and cheeks.

The hair on Ms Carrot is green cellophane.  I tied Twine in orange and white and added a little orange button. The cellophane ended up looking like a little hairdo of a side ponytail...cute.

Before I tied it shut, I put some crinkled shredded paper inside the bottom part of the cone. Then I put the jellybeans in a baggie and tied it shut. White rick rack around the top gives it a little more stability.

This would be a fun little party favor.
