Lavender and Wildflower Seed Thank You Packets:

This is a sweet and simple project that can be easily made in larger quantities. I created these to be a part of a Garden Party themed bridal shower. They were a part of the Thank You gift for all of the people that attended the shower.

I cut out all of the hearts and tags from patterned papers. I inked everything with a chocolate brown ink. I also cut small strips of white cardstock which I wrote Thank You on. But you could always print out these sentiments or stamp them.

Then I began to assemble the front of each mini envelope. Any regular adhesive will do, but I used my hot glue gun for the buttons.

I separated the seeds from their original packages and then placed them each into a mini zipper bag. This would make sure that none of the tiny little seeds would escape from the envelopes.

That’s it! Your quick and easy favours are complete!

Gift Jar Tutorial with Tracy McLennon

Curtsey Boutique Project Instruction Page

Decorative Gift Jar

Original Design : Tracy McLennon

Curtsey Boutique Supplies:

Red & White Polka Dot Ruffle Flower

Chalkboard Cardstock Hearts

Red & White Baker’s Twine

Other Supplies:

Hot Glue Gun

Jar with a Wooden Lid

⅛” Hole Punch

Double Sided Tape

Patterned Paper

Pom Pom Ribbon by May Arts

This Decorative Gift Jar is the perfect way to present any little gift of appreciation. You could fill your gift jar with freshly baked cookies, candy, a pretty piece of jewelry and so much more. There are always times where you need a sweet and simple gift for someone. A hostess gift, a friendly neighbor, or for someone you think could use a little pick-me-up.

The first thing you will need to do to create this project is gather your materials (listed above).

Step 1: Using the ⅛” hole punch, punch a hole in your chalkboard heat and run the red and white baker’s twine through.

Step 2: I used my hot glue gun to add my large decorative button to the Red & White Polka Dot Ruffle Flower.

Step 3: Again I used my hot glue gun to attach the white pom pom ribbon to the wooden lid of the jar.

Step 4: I adhered the coordinating patterned paper to the jar using regular double sided tape.

Step 5: The final touch is to adhere the ruffle flower and the chalkboard tag to the lid, again using hot glue. Taaaa Daaaa! You have a beautiful package for that sweet little something for someone special.

DIY Nesting Boxes Tutorial with Connie Mercer

DIY Nesting Boxes Tutorial

Connie Mercer

Connie shares a fun tutorial in which she alters our kraft boxes to make a lovely set of nested gifts.

1.  Pick the papers you wish to use. You will need 7 for each box.

2.  For the 2” box you will need to cut 7 at 1 ¾” X 1 ¾”.  Ink around each paper for shading.

3.   For the 3” box you will need to cut 7 at 2 ¾”X2 ¾”.  Ink around each paper for shading.

4.  For the 4” box you will need to cut 7 at 3 ¾”X3 ¾”. Ink around each paper for shading.

5.  Put those aside and ink up all edges of all 3 boxes.

6.  Next step is adhere the papers to each side.

7.  You will have one paper of each size left.  That one goes on the inside bottom.

 You are ready to decorate the front of the boxes.

  The fun part is deciding how you will use them.  They can be stacked, nested or used as storage boxes.
