Special days have their own meanings for everyone. Sending a card or wishes makes the days memorable and makes others feel special.

To add a little extra to such days, try a small giveaway — like a paper pouch with sweets or tiny goodies. Everyone loves a fun surprise!

So today, we’re making a small giveaway paper pouch or packet, where you can put sweets or little items like jewellery, and surprise others with your creative little fun packaging.

Let’s get started!

Things you need:

1. Coloured papers

2. Double-sided tape (thin)

3. Scissors

4. Scale/ruler

Directions:

1. Cut a piece of coloured paper 6 inches long and 3 inches wide; see picture 2.

2. Fold 1 centimetre inward from both sides, as shown in picture 3.

3. Apply double-sided tape to both folded sides; picture 4.

4. Remove the tape backing and fold the paper onto itself, as shown in pictures 5 and 6. Press the sides so they stick together, but leave one side open; you’ll insert your goodies from here before sealing it.

5. Notice the open side where the goodies will go; pictures 7 and 8.

6. Once you’ve added your goodies, press the top tightly together and decorate the way you want; picture 9.
