Every year my gift list seems to grow. Teachers, friends, neighbors, co-workers, mailman, the lady I wave to that walks her dog every day! I love giving gifts, it's my love language, but my income doesn't necessarily match my desire for lavish gift-giving! :0) So I plan ahead and do what I can, hit after Christmas sales, shop year round, and now scour pinterest for cute, cheap, gift ideas to show people I care without going into debt. Here is an idea I saw in a magazine years ago that I am using for some of those on my gift list this year. (Hopefully none of them see this before I give them out) When I averaged out the cost, it came to about 45 cents a piece.
Here are the materials you will need:
Clear or pearl-like ornaments
White or colored paper shred
Your choice of ribbon
Letter stickers
Here is a closer shot of the letter stickers I chose, this was after I made them so some letters are missing. I loved the black against the white shred.
Directions are simple. Stuff the shred into the ornament, stick on the letter and tie with a ribbon for hanging. Easy and cute!
And where to I keep all these ornaments until I give them out??
On a cupcake stand of course! :0)
Happy gifting!!
