DIY Christmas Candy Holders and Cards for Tres Jolie

Hi everyone,

As we approach Christmas and our 2025 December Tres Jolie Club Kits are Christmas themed I decided to create some fun and easy DIY Christmas Candy Holders for you. One is an easy DIY small candy box and the other is a easy Candy Booklet. Bothe are great for gift giving or stocking stuffers for kids and adults. I hope you get some inspiration and check out the step by step tutorial below and the video tutorial which always shows you more details. As always I have the links below for you to check out the items I used.

2025 December Card, Tags and More Kit

To start off we are going to be using the red 12x12 card stock to create a box or you could use the white cardstock. Cut your cardstock at 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. I have a photo below of where to score and how your small candy box should be cut.

If you are creating with the red cardstock here is what the finished one should look like .

Next I am using one of the ephemera frames to create a window in the lid of the box. So I used the frame to trace the oval and then cut out.

After you cut our the oval adhere the acetate to the inside of the lid.

Next to cover over the acetate, cut a piece of pattern paper and trace the frame oval again just like the lid. Cut out and adhere over the oval. (as shown below) Then adhere the side flaps to inside of the box. And now you can decorate.

Here is the box decorated and ready for gift giving.

For our second our candy holder we are creating and easy Candy Booklet. Below are the measurements for the Candy Booklet. Super easy.

Next cut about 12 inches off of the ribbon inside the Card Kit. This will be your closure. Cut in half and adhere one half to the front of the booklet and the other half to the back of the booklet. (as shown below)

Next cover the outside and inside of the booklet. I also used scraps from the pattern papers to cover the front and inside of the spine areas.

Next I used the red scraps left over from the first project to create these candy holders.

Cut the papers 2 1/4 x 3 1/2, Score 1 3/4 & 2 1/4 turn longways and Score 1/2 inch on the left and right side.

After you scored all 8 pieces cut in between the score lines, fold and adhere the flaps to the inside. (as shown on the left side)

After you get all your small boxed put together adhere them down side by side, as shown below. Place your candy inside and decorate the front.

Here is the finished front of the booklet I decorated using the Tim Holtz Christmas ephemera.

Down below I have created some small Christmas to go with these little Christmas Candy Holders. These cards are created using the 3 x 8 inch scraps. They are small but these little cards are super cute and you can still decorate them using the Tim Holtz Christmas ephemera inside the December Card Kit. For more details you can watch the video tutorial.

I hope you found some inspiration to use the 2025 December Card, Tag and More Kit. I think these simple DIY Christmas Candy Holders turned out super cute and so easy and fast to make. These make great gifts for anyone on your Christmas List.

I hope you have fun creating this wonderful with this month Tres Jolie Christmas themed Kits.
