I am participating in a gift exchange through Craftaholics Anonymous and was tasked at sending a homemade gift to my draw. I went with the semi homemade route due to my schedule this month. I decided to take a cute little burlap pouch from the Target dollar section and add some fabric rosettes to them. This was the first time I had made some of these, and I had a lot of fun making these little flowers. I made about fifty of them last week while I had to sit through continuing education for my real estate license. Thankfully I was able to pay attention and keep on wrapping these little flowers up. I used this great tutorial to learn how to make these - My Sparkle Rosette Tutorial.
I then made a homemade candle with some vanilla sent, and wrapped it up in some coordinating fabric with the rosettes.
My partner mentioned that she liked to craft, so I sent her gift in this Ikea storage box. That way she can have a space to keep some of her craft supplies. This was a better idea then just using a plain old mailing box. I just wrapped it in brown paper and sent it on its way.
Thank you for checking out my little gift.

DeleteI bought them at target...no way I could sew anything especially a zipper. I'm still trying to get the courage to plug in the sewing machine. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat sweet gifts! I saw those pouches at Target and love what you've done with them :)
ReplyDeleteSo I guess I'm not the only one who saw those pouches?! I had to quell the temptation to load the entire stock into my cart. Seriously? How could something that cute be that cheap? And to add the flowers--just perfect. I may stop the self-control and go do what I wanted to all along! :).
ReplyDeleteyour rosettes are a great addition to the pouch. Your recipient should be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteYou really are good at gift giving. All your gifts are thoughtful and beautiful. I can't wait to see what you do with the other 47 rosettes:)
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! Pinned for inspiration. I posted "dolled up" to the Dedicated House Party:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to dress-up a little bag. So cute!
ReplyDeleteLucky Lady!!!! Those are awesome gifts!!
ReplyDeleteThe little flower roses are beautiful! Well done, and also well done on the storage box--I like useful packaging.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little gift! I'd love for you to share this at my link party going on right now :)
