I feel that this is really a bit of a cheat as there is no real crafting in this project, it’s just a matter of putting things together, to make a quick gift, using things I have already got.
The bags are wedding favor boxes from HobbyCraft, they cost £1.99 for ten, which I think is a bargain. They come in different colours, I have two sets; brown and cream and black and white, I think they also do them in pastel pink and blue
The stickers are from The Poundshop, they have a metallic finish and come in very useful when I need an odd sticker or two, and the ribbons are just remnants, usually I would match them up very carefully, but this time the random approach has worked.
In each bag I have put four of the Asda chocolate hearts (£1.00 for 10) my sister found me last week.
I reckon each bag has cost me no more than 35p to make (including for stickers and ribbon) – bargain!
With Mother’s Day coming up this is a nice little idea for school fayres etc.
These bags are so cute and are a brilliant idea ....how do you have time and so much inspiration to create all these little masterpieces.
