Step 2: Fold and secure the paper base
Flip the paper over so that the wrong side is facing up. Fold it in half and press firmly along the crease to make a clean fold, then unfold. Next, fold both sides towards the center crease so that the edges meet in the center and press with each fold to form a new crease. Finally, tape the edges together in the center to secure the shape. -

Fold the paper in half, then fold the top and bottom edges inward about 1½ to 2 inches. Next, cut the folded corners diagonally. Unfold the paper, then gently shape it as needed to create your final design. -

Tie one end of the candy package to the neck using a piece of string, then adjust and shape as needed. Fill the package with candy, treats, or any small items you want to include. Once filled, tie the other end securely around the neck to close the package.
