Hello Stampers!  Well it's time for another video!  Several months ago I found these super cute little boxes on Pootles blog.  I copied the picture and said "some day I need to make these!"  How many times have you said that???  Well, I finally got around to making one so then I thought I would make a video to help you all out!  Here is what the box looks like:

 

 Aren't they super cute?  I warned you!  They will fit a fun sized candy bar just perfectly,  or in my video I added Smarties candies and packets of mini M & M's.  Check out my video and make some for yourself!
