'Tis the season of giving. I had fun creating unique gifts with the festive Sleigh Bells Ring collection.
Who doesn't love cookies? Create a fun and easy cookie holder with a 10" circle of paper. Simply fold in the left and right sides at about 3 1/2", then fold the top and bottom edges in at 2". Fold in the 4 corners and secure with a stapler. Tie tags around it with twine. Line it with wax paper and fill it with with your favorite cookies. Make individual treats by filling the adorable striped treat bags.
I re-purposed an old apple cider tin by spray painting the lid black and covering it with patterned papers, decorative tape, and twine. I added a beautiful paper bow and tag to the lid. I tied a reindeer tag around it with twine and added some word stickers to it.
Dress up a clear pail with decorative tapes. For the lid, cut a circle from the 6x6 paper and place a large circle sticker in the center. Cut a green circle and adhere a snowflake from the mixed bag with foam tape. Attach the tag to the twine with a decorative brad and tie it onto the handle. Fill with a Christmas treat.
I decorated a shallow tin lid with green and cream striped paper- rounding the corners and sewing around the edges. I cut strips of the red and cream paper and wrapped them around the side, along with decorative tapes. I placed a paper bow on top and attached a Christmas tree flair pin. I matted the "Handmade with Love" sticker and tied it to the bow with red and white twine.
These fabulous papers and embellishments make packaging gifts a breeze. I hope you enjoy creating handmade gifts from your heart this Christmas season.
