This is a super cute treat that you can make using a variety of punches – it is fun & easy to make and the kids (and grown up’s!) are going to LOVE them!

There are two outside pieces and in between them you sandwich a circular thin candy such as a Peppermint Pattie – so this Sheep tastes as good as she looks – and she is freestanding making a perfect little treat for your table place settings!

Take the shapes shown in the photo below – cut the black Oval in and the black 1/2″ Circle in half…

And assemble as shown below – I used a Dimensional to attach the face to the body…

Then take the three small Scallop Circles and attach to the top of the face…

Take the 2 Word Window pieces and cut each in half…

Attach two of them to the back of the front body part – I used Dimensionals for this…

Then turn the front part over…

And place the second large Scallop Circle on to it and line it up so it fits perfectly – this will give you a guideline on where to attach your ‘back legs’…

Attach your back legs in place to mirror those on the front…

And attach your tail…

To assemble:

Take a Peppermint Pattie (or other similarly shaped & sized candy)…

sheep-treat-13

And fold the wrapping in and tape in place so that it will fit nicely between your sheep body…

sheep-treat-14

And using a piece of tape adhere to the reverse side of the front of the sheep…

And then add the back of the sheep, again using a piece of tape…
