This is a fun idea Margo from Blue Family Scene thought of as part of a movie night youth activity.

Take 12×12 sheets of scrapbook paper and cut them to be (4) 6×6 sheets.
Next, run a strip of double sided tape along one side. Roll the opposite side of the paper towards the taped side and keep rolling to make the tape stick.
You should now have a cylinder like below. Use your double sided tape again and tape one end of the cylinder.
Pinch it closed. Make sure that the corners are sealed completely.
Now run the sealed end through a crinkler thingy…Yes that is the real name of it at my house. But, make sure to only go up about an inch.
See how the end looks like it was done in a factory on a big machine. Yes it is very professional looking.. Aren’t we all just so happy…. :O)
When all the cylinders are sealed and crinkled, fill them with what ever treat you would like. Since we are watching a DVD I decided movie treats were in order, so licorice bites, gummy bears, and chocolate were on the menu.
Make sure to leave enough room at the top so you can close that end too.
Once filled it is time to seal the opened end. Use your double sided tape again and pinch closedin the opposite direction. So it will look like a kind of triangle. Does that make sense?
Run it through the crinkler thingy again and you are done!!!
