DIY Easy Paper Snack Bowls

When I found some great

Americana paper

I got busy making 

all sorts of fun things...

2-sided 3D Freedom Stars...

Patriotic Party Favors...

and these cute little snack bowls.

This paper is great for

Independence Day,

a Wild West theme,

or just because!

But you can use any style of heavy paper

to match any occasion 

where you might want a simple way 

to serve up a snack.

{By the way, the snack pictured is GORP.

Here's how to make pretty paper snack bowls:

Start with a square of card stock, 
pattern side down.

Fold it in thirds both length-wise and width-wise

so it looks like a tic-tac-toe
{see dotted lines on the template}.
Make those folds crisp with a bone folder.

Snip the outer 4 corners diagonally 
as shown on the template.

Bring together the snipped corners 
and glue or staple in place.
I liked overlapping my corners for this paper.

You're done!

Now you're ready for a party, tailgating or camping, especially if you take along this little DIY Gingham Cooler!

Pair 'em up with these easy printable Americana coasters,

or take a little more time to make these 
rustic coasters for your summertime fun!
