goodie packaging …

December 22, 2010

here’s a few more goodie packages i put together.
i loved using some pretty yarn, doilies, and ornaments with tiny tags.

i got these clear plastic boxes from paper mart.

and, remember the chocolate covered cinnamon santa’s i made?
i put a few in a glassine bag, and topped it with a felt ornament, a doily, a tag and bakers twine.

tomorrow, i’m going to share another fun holiday treat we made, as well as the packaging!
are you sick of my packaging and goodie posts yet?

mini felt stockings …

December 21, 2010

yesterday was ezra’s last day of preschool before the break, so we decided to make a little something for his teacher.

we decided to fill a little stocking with goodies, so we got out my epic six die cut machine from quickutz, and used the stocking die cut and snowflake die cut.

ezra even help rolled the felt through the machine.

he was in heaven.  and, it was so cute how excited he was to give it to his teacher at pre-school.

and, i was happy it was a quick and easy little gift.  i just used wool felt, and stitched it up with embroidery thread, glued on the rest, then filled it with goodies!
