I was given a box of “crafting treasure” by a friend a little while ago and I am trying to use something from it as often as I can. It’s so special that I keep it all in a lovely old battered suitcase, so that its contents don’t get mixed up with my other stuff.
Anyway, I was looking through it and found these lovely little handbag die cuts and immediately had an idea for “little silly presents” for “the girls” to celebrate our first day back at work in 2011.
First I assembled the bags, using just a bit of glue and mini pegs to keep them together while they dried. What to put in the bags I wondered ………
I knew everyone would be back on their diets and chocolate of any description would be a out of the question, but not emergency rations ….. so I covered a Dairy Milk miniature to pop in each bag.
As a finishing touch I tied on a small metal charm, also from my suitcase of treasure …… they are so cute I can hardly bare give them away now!
