I got this neat Mishloach Manos idea from my friend Gitty. Its amazing how your Mishloach Manos can “stand out” with just a piece of cardboard and three small standup bags. This idea can be done in any color with many different options for filling the stand up pouches.

You will need:

• 3 kraft resealable bags 
• 1/4” ribbon
• cherry sours
• twizzlers
• red jelly beans
• 1” square labels (graphics by omgdesign@aol.com)
• hole puncher
• 5.5” x 10.5” piece of cardboard 
• razor blade
• ruler

 Directions:

1. Use a ruler to measure  a 5.5" x 10.5" piece of cardboard.  
2. Cut the cardboard using a razor blade.
3. Fill bags with candy.
4. Place a bag at one (short) end of the cardboard.
5. Punch a hole in the center of the bag, which should go through the cardboard as well. (If it is too hard to do both together, punch them separately .) Attach the bag to the cardboard with ribbon. Repeat with remaining bags.                                                                                         Tip:  Another option for punching holes would be to pile up all the cardboard and drill holes through the cardboard with a drill and then do the bags separately.
