 We
are making bath satchels full of chamomile flowers as part of our
Christmas gifts. The muslin squares are embroidered, filled and
stitched to be thrown into the bathtub. I am trying to decide if
I want to add a button top so that it can be reused and refilled or if
I would rather make tiny cloth envelopes and insert tea bags with the
flowers in them. Decisions...decisions...
The two cards you see in the middle were made for Christmas. They
are hard to see because they are so small, but the paisley card has a
burlap pocket that is fastened with eyelets and a small vellum flap up
top that says "with hope...". A note and photo will be tucked
inside the finished product. The silver sparkly card has a white
frame attached on the left side that says "God's Promise"
underneath. I will probably tuck a verse of scripture in this
frame. Tissue paper peeks through to make up a background layer of
irridescent pink. Being
that these are the first cards I made, they took me FOREVER! I am
excited to make more though. We bought this paper kit from
JoAnn's for our wedding to make little wedding favors and have used the
remainder to make card designs. There are so many different types
and sizes of paper in the bag. Best $9.99 we have spent!
The brand is JoAnn Scrap Essentials...wow...I had no idea they made
their own products! I'm impressed!
