You Will Need:

- scrapbook paper
- 4 or 6 pack cardboard drink caddies

Step 1
Start with old drink caddies. If you're using soda caddies from Trader Joe's, you're in luck - I've uploaded my templates to share.
Step 2
If you're starting from scratch, flatten your caddy and trace the sides onto your scrapbook paper. I recommend doing a trial version on plain (and cheaper) paper first.

Once you've got a template that works, cut out the cover and fold along seams. I also drew and cut flaps to make a smoother, printed edge along the bottom.
Step 3
Glue the template to your caddy along the seams and flaps.
Step 4
Trace and cut a template for the handle.
Step 5
Fill with treats and enjoy!
