As you know, I like to make little favours for the first day back at work after a major holiday …. and seeing nets of chocolate coins reduced to 25p with a use before date of August 2013 … well I just couldn’t resist, and came up with this idea…..

I created the sheet of sentiments in Publisher, using “High Tide” font free from

I cut the sentiments out and backed them onto the back of a lottery ticket, trimming the edges to fit the narrow cello bags I used (9cm wide)

I put three coins in each bag, which then I sealed with my Elitech bag sealer.

I made another sheet of “Happy New Years” which I punched out, to stick on the front of each packet

Et voila, all that was left to do was pop them in everyone’s sling or pigeon hole on the first day of term.
It's an idea that could be altered to suit other events .....and I shall put my mind to doing a couple more versions of the wording and then offer them as a free download, so watch this space ......
