If you're anything like me this time of year, you're feeling short on time. With the holiday's approaching, I think we all have big dreams of doing all sorts of cute and fun holiday decor items and gift-giving projects. Sometimes, simple is the best way to go. And I think class parties at our children's schools, is one of those areas where less is more. For most of these class parties, we are needing to make little treats for 20-30 kids at once. So coming up with a simple design will really help things come together quickly, and let you knock these out assembly-line style.
I decided to decorate some soda bottles and candy bars, with pattern paper from the Mischievous collection. I simply measured the area of the bottles and candy bars, that I wanted to cover up, and trimmed my papers to fit. I was able to get 4 soda bottles out of one sheet of paper, and 4 candy bars from one sheet of paper, along with a few scraps to make the center strips. I did a quick and easy zig zag stitch with my sewing machine, where my center strip was adhered, and I distressed and inked the edges of the entire piece once it was assembled. Then I adhered that entire piece to the bottles and candy bars, using glue dots. I had some fun fabric scraps in my stash, so I tore some thin strips of the fabric, to tie around the bottles and candy bars.
