I am looking for a cute template to use to make my own covers for microwave popcorn packets.

I needed a new idea for my 2 DS to give as gifts for Halloween, Christmas, new years, etc. I HATE getting and giving little trinkets and candy. I have done pencils and such but needed a new idea.

There are lots of cute ideas at different webistes, but I want to use all the cute digi stuff I own.

Can someone help me out? I am too lazy to do it myself and love all the DIY templates I have gotten so far.

Thanks.

I found that different brands had slightly different sizes. Just measure the packet you are using and cut to size - OR make your canvas that size in your program and fill with paper.

I made some for the teachers at school for Teacher Appreciation. I just bought the really big labels from Avery and printing my digi goodies on those. I made a canvas on my PSE the same size as the labels, made the label, and saved it as a jpeg. On the Avery site, you can upload the pic and it will print out perfectly on your labels. It was really easy, looked adorable, and it's a better fit than trying to wrap paper around (it's not long enough!).

I love the Avery label idea - that way I don't half to be concerned with it not fitting. I hadn't thought that different companies and different kinds (eg light vs movie butter) would not be the same size.

I have also decided to make this for my DS 4th bday goodie give away for next week.

So off to Staples or Walmart I go.

Thanks ladies for the help. You have saved my sanity!!

Labels are a fantastic idea!
