Materials:

• Solid & printed paper
• Candy
• Parchment paper

Instructions:

1. To form your letters, cut paper and parchment into 4″ X 5.5″ rectangles.
   
   
    
2. To create stamps, cut paper of choice into 1″ X 1″.
   
   
    
3. Position your stamp in the upper right hand corner and all around edge stitch.
   
   
    
4. Stitch some fun squiggly lines to represent the cancelled postage. You can draw these lines with a pencil 1st and then stitch over them.
   
   
    
5. With your machine or marker, add some fun words to the letter. (See below for cute ideas.)
   
   
    
6. Match up your letter with parchment paper, wrong sides together and straight stitch around 3 sides. This will form a “pocket”. Fill the pocket with small candy. Be careful- overfilling will make the pocket hard to close.
   
   
    
7. Stitch up the last side, trim any loose threads and you are set!
