1. Use 12"x12" card stock.
2. Use the CD or template to draw 4 circles. I used disappearing ink so that any goofs made while tracing would . . . well . . . disappear.
3. Cut out the circles.
4 and 5. If you have a paper scorer, use it to score lines exactly down the centers of the circles. Use the scored line to fold each circle. If you don't have a scorer, eyeball the center, fold and crease with your fingers
6. Use double-sided tape to attach the bottom of each circle to the other circles. I use double-sided tape because it's easy to shift things around if the circles aren't fitting together well.
7. Write a little card for a loved one.
8. Add candy.

A handmade card and/or envelope is a special gift on it's own. I would never turn down candy though!
