I had a few gifts I wanted to make for people at school (which by the way is all done!!!) I thought of the idea of a "Party in a Bag". So I bought nachos, salsa, water bottles and a variety of Crystal Light powders for the individual water bottles and this is what I came up with:
These little pouches were super quick and easy to make. First off I cut a variety of scrapbook paper and attached them to the water bottle to cover the labels(my dimensions were 1 1/2 x 10 but this will vary depending on the water bottle). My thought on this is like wine charms, people will know their water bottle based on the scrapbook paper wrapped around it! The little pouches are 1 3/4 by 10 and scored at 3 inches from the one end. Fold this end over and hold with the 2 brads. I then used my 1 1/4 circle punch and punched the top of the pouch. I then put it over top of the water bottle lid and had a glue dot at the other end of the package to hold it flat against the water bottle.
Supplies: Dots and Dashes scrapbook paper, a variety of brads, adhesive, Polka Dots and Petals Stamp Set
This is the card that I made to go with the package (I matched the scrapbook paper with the bottles) It was a quick card using Pumpkin Pie, Pink Passion and Pixie Pink. It uses the stamp set Polka Dots and Paisley and soft subtles buttons.
AMAZING!!! These are perfect. I will make them for Samson's birthday with the little Koolaid packs!!!!! YOUR SO AWESOME!!!!!!
