The Cutest DIY Felted Treat Envelope for Easter 🐰 Funny Friday with Art Impressions
Happy Friday, friends! It’s Nina-Marie Trapani here, and I’m back with another installment of our beloved Funny Friday series featuring Art Impressions! In this video, I am going to show you how I turned the Art Impressions Gift Card Envelope and Bunny Gift Card Holder into a sweet little sleeve for treats—specifically, chocolate! What makes these even cuter is that I made the bunny with felt and added google-eyes to amp up the adorability!
This is a clever way to repurpose a die set for other uses! Of course, you could totally put a gift card in the envelope and that would be darling—but doing something fun for little treats you plan on giving for Easter is a great way to make them extra-special.
Be sure to watch the video to see how this cutie-patootie comes together! She’s perfect for tucking into Easter baskets or putting at place settings for an after-dinner-treat!

Box the corners and sew them using a 1/8” seam allowance. Leave one of the corners for turning.

Cut 2 pieces of Braided Ribbon to make the handles. Sew down each edge to make a tube. Insert a thick floral wire to stiffen the handle.
