Do you ever need just a little something to give as a
gift for a friend to tell them you are
thinking about them, to wish them a
speedy recovery or a
happy day? Here's an idea I recently saw on a local TV show.
Take a thrift store cup and saucer (I found these for 50 cents apiece)
Tie onto the handle a some
assorted ribbons--these were mostly scraps I'd saved from presents received.
Buy or make a pretty cupcake--I purchased this one from my grocery store for $1.29
Put the cupcake into the cup.
Add a coordinated paper filler to the saucer.
I didn't have any pink filler so I just used ribbons.Place the cup on top of the filler.
Add a card.
Wrap it all in
cellophane and give with a smile. This is just one suggestion for filling the cup. What other ideas can you think of to use this idea?
I am linking up to Tutorial Tuesday with today's post. Visit here for more ideas and how-to.
These are the supplies needed: Used tissue, ribbon, glue gun, wire or thin string, and any of the following: scrapbook paper, fabric torn in strips, buttons. Really anything you'd like to put in it. These are made kind of like a corsage. Cut or tear tissue in wide strips, add ribbons in varying lengths and widths, paper torn in long strips, and anything else you want to put in it. Secure all of these together in the center (lengthwise) and wire together. Scrunch them up and fluff them.
Then glue gun the back of it onto a wooden clothespin. There, you have made a Whimsey Clip!
This one has 4 different ribbons and scapbook paper with printing on it.
This one has checked tissue as well as plain and red polka dot. Also pink paper ribbon and fabric small heart print strips like ribbon.
This one has tulle in it as well. You can glue gun a button to hide the wire in the middle.
This one has touches of pink and gold in the ribbon and tissue.
Add one to your purse!
Decorate with them!
Tuck one in a corner display.
Remember my Valentine banner above?
Use several together on a Valentine sign holder.
