Halloween Bat Treat Pockets

This bat treat holder has an ingenious weaving that allows it to open into a triangular pocket.

I saw something like this in a catalog from Paper Cuttings by Allison. Supposedly these are a traditional Danish craft, called a hushylder, but I couldn't find anything more about them. Anyone ever seen these?

This was definitely one of those "well, I guess I can figure it out" kind of projects!
