 Hey everybody it's Sam here, thanks for watching today. So this video is just a little bit of fun. I was putting my tree up and of course I was eating some tunics tea cakes and I had the wrappers in my hand and I had these baubles which are just, they were left over and I call them fillers. They were just ones that I brought some years ago just to kind of fill any gaps. But now I've got enough decorations that I didn't need all of these. And I literally stood there and I started wrapping the tunics tea cake wrapper around the bauble and it worked out perfectly. And I thought, I showed my mum. She was like, that's brilliant. And then I wasn't gonna do it. You know, I was just gonna put them on the tree and she was like, no, you need to just show them because I'm sure there'd be some people out there that would really like this idea. So if you're not familiar with the channel or maybe with the mixed up craft as Facebook group, I'm a massive tunics tea cake addict. We talk about them a lot and I think I've got quite a lot of people onto them as well. They're just delicious treats. And I make lots of packaging ideas for them because these are really nice to give as gifts and they're very inexpensive. You usually get six in a box like this, pick them up for a pound or slightly less and you can get packs of 10 as well and you can even get the big packs of 36, which I have got because it comes in a lovely display box which I actually use as a storage piece in my craft room. Anyway, that's just a little bit about these lovely treats. I am actually gonna be showing you a little tutorial on what you can do with the boxes. So if you do like this idea and you've got the box, keep hold of it, because you might like what I'm gonna show you in a few days using this. So, I mean, it's really easy that, you know, there's no skill involved in this at all, but I guess in terms of size, I've got a normal size Christmas ball ball and I would say you could go smaller because I actually use two wrappers to wrap around this, but if I can roughly kind of see, you're looking, it's about two and a half diameter. Okay, so I've just taken off the top there and then what I wanna do first of all, so you need your wrappers to prepare them. So I've been collecting these, didn't take me long to be fair, but you just want to, just, I mean, carefully, I've done quite a few of these, so I can be a little bit rougher with it so I know how much pressure to put down, but you just want to just flatten that foil. Now, I guess there's any other treats that you can think of out there that have foils, you know, I know lots of people watch from all over the world, so I'm sure you might have something in your country that you could maybe adapt to this and I also have a really nice tutorial for a Christmas four-ball gift box. So again, maybe you are sending this to a friend who, you know, likes these sweets, you could send one of these and pop them in the gift box that I have and I will link that one just up here. Okay, so I've got one ready there, I'll do that one in a minute, so we're gonna cut that one slightly, but with this one here, I'm just going to pop my glue, so this is just the Cosmic Shimmer Glue, so I'm just going to cover all over here. You do get a little bit messy with glue, but it's okay, this is all water-based, so I'll be able to wash it all off easily, so I'm just putting some glue on there and then I wanna make sure I've got the tonics word at the top, so I'm just gonna sit that kind of in the middle there and then you just want to start to kind of mold it around the bobble and it is very, very similar to the shape of the tonics and you can see it's moving a little bit there, so you can kind of move it around, but you wanna just start getting it into that shape and then once you've kind of covered where you've added the glue, then you just need to add more really until you've wrapped this around the whole bobble. Now with this little bit here, all I've done is just put it right over it and just kind of mold it around so it's such a thin foil and then I'll just pop that little bit over it clips over at the end, but now we're in this part, we're gonna really kind of shake it some more in a minute, but just make sure that foil is kind of all wrapped around the right way. Don't worry if some of it rips a little bit, you really don't notice any of that and then I'm gonna cover now the rest of the bobble with the glue. So like I said, with this two and a half diameter, this wrapper almost kind of meets. If you went for slightly smaller, you could probably just cover one with one wrapper, it depends. And if you're going larger, then you would just cut this next bit a little bit bigger, but we'll talk about that in a moment. So I'm just gonna keep going around. Now, when you start to kind of overlap it, you might have to put some glue on these bits here. See, it's kind of like gone over there. I'll pop it on that side and in there. And this all dries clear, so I'm not kind of too worried about any glue kind of losing over. Now, this is the back that I'm working on as well. So, you know, when I hang these, I'll make sure that they hang facing this way. But now already that's starting to really stick around there. So what you can do now, I use my pinky because it's dry from glue, but you can just really just push out that foil just to make sure you get a really nice join and it's nice and flat against that bobble. And these I've done in no time. They're super quick to do. Okay, but you can see now, so that's all covered on the back. Now, if you just have one wrapper and you just pop it on your tree like that, that's okay. No one's gonna see that. But if you do wanna just tidy it up, grab another one. Now, I know all I need of this is I just cut it just a little bit bigger than that silver circle in the middle. But if you've got a bigger bobble, then you might need to cut more. And you might have a smaller one and all you need to do is maybe cut a little star piece in the middle. So it's a good wrapper as well to be able to kind of, you know, line things up. So I'm just gonna come in here and I'm just gonna cut about a quarter of an inch around that silver. And then I'm just gonna put glue now over this part. Could you imagine a whole tree with these? I think it would look really, really effective. So I, again, I love this. And they're my kind of colors. They're perfect treats for Christmas as well because they're like candy cane stripes. I've got the snowballs as well. So I'll be showing you a fun tutorial using the snowballs, which are, well, they're tonic snowballs and it's just marshmallow with cocoa, or coconut, sorry, coconut flakes all over it. Okay, so that'll do for a minute. And then with this one, you're just gonna pop, oh, just over there. Again, you can kind of eyeball it and line it up with that one there. And then again, just roll it around. And as you're doing it, the glue will kind of ooze out the ends and it will stick, see there? Now that's really stuck down. And again, this is the back, so I'm not too worried, but I just thought if it did end up kind of moving around on the tree, they would see the tonics. And it kind of lines up. Once that's spinning around, you would never know anyway. So I'm just gonna get this stuck down. Okay, like so. You wouldn't, you can't really notice it at all. And then all I done is I rolled them as they're drying just on my table just to really push down that foil and get a really nice, flat finish, you know, as smooth as you can get it. Okay, like so, you can see there, that's all. And then that's the front, which is a bit more shiny, it's a little, oh no, I don't think it is actually. There you go, that's gonna be the front. And then with this one, they just clip back on, like so. These obviously, the red ribbon goes perfectly. You could put a little bow on there if you want, but I'm just gonna keep mine like that. I think they look great. They have it very quick, very easy. Just, I thought I would share it with you. Let me know what you think. I love them and I'm gonna go and put them on my tree. Thanks for watching and I'll be back again very soon. Bye.
