This quick and easy project is great for many things. This week we have added a fun seed packet but a gift card fits perfect and a small candy bar or Ghiradelli square would be a great treat as well.
To create this project you will need the following supplies: card stock, patterned paper, SU! Top Note die, jumbo eyelet, Crop-a-Dile, circle punches, button, linen thread and ribbon.
First, cut two Top Note die cuts from Early Espresso and one from a patterned paper. We used My Mind's Eye Lime Twist. On one of the Early Espresso die cuts, add a jumbo eyelet to the top left corner and string with ribbon or linen thread as we have.
Next, create your circle flower embellishment. We used a 1-1/2" circle of Early Espresso, 1-3/8" and 1-1/4" circles of My Mind's Eye Lime Twist patterned paper. We crumpled them slightly for added dimension.
After you create the circle flower pieces, glue them together in the middle only and add a threaded brown button to the center. We created a bow with the linen thread but you could always just tie a knot.
Next, if you cut full size Top Note die cuts, you will need to cut them in half - one will be in Early Espresso and the other in your Lime Twist patterned paper. You will cut off the perforated section on the patterned paper piece to create your layer. Glue them together.
Next add a piece of Early Espresso grosgrain ribbon across the center and add a small tied piece. Add your circle flower embellishment.
Now you will add a small amount of glue around the very outside curved edges of this half piece. DO NOT add glue across the top otherwise you will not have a pocket. Add to your full top note piece.
And there you go! Insert your treat - in our case, seeds. What an easy and quick favor. Start making these now for your Christmas gift cards and hang them from your tree!!
