Sometimes I'm not sure if I should share projects like this because they probably aren't new and are so simple that it seems silly that I am excited about it, but I am going to share anyways!
I realized (this MORNING) that this week will most likely be my last week of teaching piano before baby #4 makes her debut. So I whipped up some little treat bags for my students using items I had on hand.
Fangs from this project, candy corn from this project, and some Halloween chocolate coins. I put them in some little red cellophane bags (that look orange) and went to get some festive ribbon, but didn't have any!
So I took a strip of Halloween card stock paper, folded it around the bag opening and stapled it. That's it! I think I will do this more often and save my cute grosgrain ribbon for other projects!
So that's it. Probably the most boring blog post, but EASIEST gift tags ever!
cute!

I've actually never thought of stapling them that way! I do cardstock bag toppers all the time, but that's a different aesthetic. This will be fun to change it up.
ReplyDelete(And if you haven't tried the bag topper, just cut a piece as wide as your cello bag and twice as tall as you want it to be. I fold over the top of the cello bag and staple first to help make sure it won't leak out goodies. Then just fold your paper or cardstock over and staple the sides - voila! Fancy-shmancy bag topper.)
