Hi, I made a Snowman Tic Tac Wrap.
You can hang it from tree.

First, I made my own background stamp
by arranging all the snowflakes combined from Sweet Treats Christmas, Have An Ice Day, Merry Christmoose and Frosty Friends.

I stamped all over the front of my 9 3/4 x 2" panel .

I want my panel to be 9 1/2 end to end after I have cut 

using the tag die from Sugar Cuts Layered Treat Labels on both ends.

So I just made a line that measures about 1/16" from one end, pulled the panel through the die so the only thing that will be cut is the end.  So I put the top of the die up to that line and cut.

Now I measured to see how much I had extra after I cut and I only had about 1/16"

so I put my die right up to the top after I pulled the rest of the panel through the die so this end is the only thing that will be cut.

Now I have both of ends cut and it measures 9 1/2" long

Next, I drew a line at the middle at 4 3/4" on the back of my panel. 

Then I measured 2/8 and 1/16 from the center on both sides of my center line. 

Next, I measured 2 7/8 (plus just a tiny bit more)

from one line that is closest to its end then 1/4" from that line.

I repeated this on the other end

Now I scored all my lines except the center line

and began folding 

 Here is what it looks like with both ends folded

Here I stamped and cut out the snowman using Frosty Friends

Then I took the spellbinders circle die about 7/8" and cut out from the snowman

Next, I colored my snowman

And stamped another squirrel and colored and cut out him (because I could not bear having a squirrel with his head cut off). 

I flipped them over and covered them with Scotch 1/16" foam tape

Only put tape where the squirrel will touch the snowman

And placed the snowman over the circle

and the squirrel on top of the snowman

Now I placed a 1/4" width piece of score tape on the center of the panel

where the tic tacs will adhere at the bottom

Remove tape cover and adhere the bottom of the tic tac container

Then I just pulled up the sides

Tied a bow around the top of the tic tacs, then tied a thin gold cording to hang it with from the tree

 Isn't he cute?
