SOUR PATCH KIDS CANDY
To start, I made the candy. First, take your printable size guide, (shown below) and cut out the center. Then, take your air-dry clay and shape it into a small circle; roll it out into a thin rectangle. Put your size-guide on top and cut out the clay carefully. Make many of these and let them air-dry until hard.


 Then, paint the clay so they can be colorful like the real ones. I kept them the same colors that the real candies are, which is green, yellow, orange, red and blue for the newer packages.

Before the paint dries, cover it in the corresponding color of the paint, white, or clear glitter to act as the sour sugar. Once the doll-sized candies are coated in glitter, paint them with a couple layers of glossy Mod Podge to keep the glitter in place.

That's it for the candies!


SOUR PATCH KIDS BOX

To make a box to put your doll's candies in, print out the box printable that I've made. (example shown below)

Next, Mod Podge it on the page. (for extra sturdiness, which is recommended, you can glue the back of the printable to card stock and cover the front with packaging tape before folding) When dry, cut it out; and cut slits along the short green lines.

Then, score on all of the lines around the label. (dotted lines are shown where scoring is needed in image above ONLY) If you're wondering what scoring is, it's lightly cutting through the paper, but not all the way, so it makes folds easier.

 After scoring, fold the box into a box shape. Glue on all the side tabs to put it together. There you have a box for your doll's sour patch kids!

SOUR PATCH KIDS BAG

If your dolls want to share some sour patch kids, then you will need to make the bag for them! First, print out the printable (example image shown below) and paint a coat of mod podge over it. (for extra sturdiness, which is reccommended, you can glue the back of the printable to card stock and cover the front with packaging tape before folding)
Cut it out, and score along red dotted line, as shown in example picture above. Glue along side edges and fold in half. Press together and now you have a bag that your dolls can put their sour patch kids in! Fill it up with the sour, yummy treats and you're done!!! (for extra sturdiness, which is reccommended, you can glue the back of the printable to card stock and cover the front with packaging tape before folding)
