I found this really fabulous DIY project on the marthastewart.com (where else?) She has the most amazing projects! This one is really great if your guests will be waiting in the garden while you have your photos taken. You can hang these gorgeous bon-bon hears on trees all over the place and fill them with snacky things. These ones have been filled with coated candy, but chips and nuts will also make great fillers.
Here is the full DIY project and everything you need to make these cute little bon-bons. If you do manage to get it right, please post your pics or email them to us, as we’d love to see your project “in living colour”
Step-by-step guide
1. Fold and unfold a square of plain or patterned lightweight card stock to score it as pictured
2. Fold the card stock in half vertically, and open.
3 Fold it horizontally.
4. Open.
5. Draw two opposite corners of the square inward, tucking in the other two corners.
6. Trace the heart template, below, and cut out.
7. Slide fold A behind fold B.
8. Hold in place. Then use a hole punch to pierce both; thread a ribbon through, and tie. Fill both sides of the heart with candy.
That’s it - Fabulous!

These actually look like I could screw them up really easily! Heehee. But very cute!
OH WOW!!!! I am planing on hanging pom poms I make myself from the trees, and the photographer suggested I also hang some laminated photos from the trees.. IF I combine this with these ? Think it could work ?
I think it would work very well….
