Are you ready to take a look at S'MORE fun ideas?

To begin today's first s'more project, fill a glassine or zip top bag with the goodies necessary to create two s'mores (because REALLY, who can eat just ONE!?) Another option would be to create a "family-style" s'more kit, using a gallon-sized bag and the supplies to create a LOT of s'mores.  It could be a fun goodie to take on a camping trip!

Next, trim a block of patterned paper to fit the width of your bag, measured to be able to fold it in half. My bag was 5-inches across so I trimmed the paper 5x6, so when folded it is 3 inches tall.

Staple the topper about half an inch from the bottom.  (This is so the staples can be hidden once we add the next layer!)

Next, embellish a slightly shorter panel of coordinating paper or cardstock. Add it right on top of your topper (haha, a topper for your topper) to hide those staples. Obviously this is not totally necessary, and depending on your level of FANCY, you could certainly staple neatly and leave them showing.

As one more finishing touch, I thought it would be fun to embellish the marshmallow skewers just a bit. You could personalize them so that everyone knows whose is whose, using different colors for each, or you could make them large enough to write a first initial on each one.

To create a little flag, trim a diamond shape from patterned paper, fold it, and glue it around the end of a skewer.  Then I add a twine bow if desired.

I hope you'll be able to use these ideas to create some great fall treats before the weather gets too cold to be outside to play.  Then again. . .that's what the fire is for! So no matter the weather, brave the cold and go out for some festive fun!
