• Create a triangle tree with a curved base from a 32cm x 45cm piece of sturdy cardboard. Cover the cone shape with wrapping paper, securing on the back. Secure a loop of twine to the back to hang. Tape five more lengths of twine across the tree at 7cm intervals from the top without pulling the string too taut
• Download and print the bag template from our website. Cut along the outside on patterned paper and score the dotted lines. Crease the score lines and concertina fold the centre ones to make the base of the bag
• One at a time, fold up the sides, then bring them together, creasing the excess paper at the corner at a 45° angle. Glue the side tabs together. When the glue is dry, crease down the centres of the sides to mimic the concertina fold on the bottom
• Die-cut a 5cm circle from yellow card, glue a 4cm scallop-edged circle of a different colour on top, then add a die-cut snowflake to the centre. Glue the edge of the circle to the top edge of a bag and fold over to make a flap
• Make a total of 24 paper pouches in this way, using different coloured card and patterned papers. Use a 2.5cm circle die to create 24 discs from cream card. Stamp numbers 1-24 on each with brown ink and leave to dry
• Fix a number to the front of each bag using 3D foam pads, then fill them with small treats. Clip each bag onto one of the twine lines with a mini peg. You can arrange them in numerical order or by colour and pattern
