Every year,
I try to think of something non-edible for
little neighbor Christmas gifts.
Not sure why,
probably because if it's food,
I eat all of the mistakes.
Well, this year,
they are getting food!
Oreos
Red Oreos!
No baking,
no gaining 5 pounds,
no messy pans or smoky ovens.
One foot, became two,
Which became 20.
I need to stop playing with them
and give them out.
I'm becoming attached.
If you would like to make some.
You will need:
Winter Red Oreos
Ribbon
Scrapbook paper for shoe collar
Green posterboard
Elf Shoe Template
(email me if the link isn't working)
little jingle bells
Hole punches
Double sided Scotch tape
Clear cellophane
Skinny thread to tie on bells
These are the supplies needed, how to make a similar
shoe treat is in this Oreo Tutorial post.
I'm putting these details for me and you,
so I won't forget and know where to find this.
Posterboard -- you can get 15 feet per posterboard.
There are about 34 Oreos in these Winter packages.
8 Oreos per foot
Cut cellophane 7"x11"
Have yoursELF a
Merry little Christmas!
that couldn't be ANY cuter!! I think I'll be giving some out this year as well. Thanks for the idea!

ReplyDeleteCorrie, those are absolutely fantastic! I love them! and what a fun classroom treat idea for the Christmas party ... you are so cool!!! :) :) Thank you for sharing .... Wendy
DeleteThese are adorable and will make great favors. How do you keep the sleeve of cookies from falling out of the bottom of the shoe? Do you have any 'sole' on the shoe? Thanks so much! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteDid a little tutorial on making a similar treat.

The cookies don't fall out the bottom, due to the tape holding them there. There's no sole.
So stinkin' cute!!!! Love them. :0)
ReplyDeleteHow clever ... Wish I was a neighbour!!!
ReplyDeleteDo they have bottoms? Do they fall out?
ReplyDeleteThat's my question too! Will they fall out the bottom??
ReplyDeleteCute idea!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I am going to use it with the "You've been Elfed" for my neighbors. Too cute!
ReplyDelete♥♥ always looking for quick ideas fir famiky-friends.. definitely! Cute!!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell us what the total width of the template is for tip to tip? These are cute and I understand not wanting to give up template, but I am unsure of how big to make the shoe part to fit the cookies.
ReplyDeleteYes please a template will help alot.... This will be my Teachers gift! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest idea! Thank you so much for sharing it with your readers. I have been searching the web for a template for the shoe, but no luck? I am crafty, but I really can't seem to draw this shoe.
ReplyDeleteWould you please email at (dgallegos@mjwomack.com)when you get a minute? Maybe you can point me in the right direction.
Have a wonderful day and thank you again,
Debra

so cute! how about the orange and black oreos in witches' boots for halloween? LOVE.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial. If people are still concerned about the cookies falling through - just cut a small rectangular piece of the green construction paper, fold up both ends (short side) and tape to the inside of the shoe before you put in the cookies. Whala
ReplyDeleteTavette
How big are the shoes from end to end? The template is Very small!!!!
ReplyDelete11.5" it fits across a piece of paper. Make sure your printer is doing 'actual size'.
DeleteAbout how long do you think the cookies will stay fresh? I have a weeks vacation over Thanksgiving and would love to make these for all of my coworkers while I have time. Would the cookies be stale by Christmas?
ReplyDeleteI think the cookies would be fine. I just opened an elf foot that I saved left over from last year, took a bite, you know, it wasn't that bad.
DeleteLove the santa decoration in the picture, could you share where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteThe Santa is by Lori C. Mitchell. I got him at a local boutique a couple of years ago. I'm sure he's somewhere on the internet. I also have a red riding hood by her & Halloween people, and....
