New Spring Line Up


Hi everyone! Daffodil tips have been spotted, the sun is staying out a little longer than usual and the birds have been singing outside our workroom for the past couple of days. We're crossing our fingers but it seems like the worst of Winter is almost over - at least here in the east coast :)

We're so excited to introduce a couple of new products from our Spring Line Up:

Last minute gift idea

Short on cash and time? Need a last minute hostess gift for the fifth holiday party you've been invited to this year? No worries! Just hit your local grocery store, pick up a few items and you'll be on your way to creating this very easy DIY S'mores Kit that's sure to be a hit with kids of all ages!

You'll need:

  • 1 box of graham crackers
  • 1 bag of marshmallows
  • 1 big chocolate bar of your choice
  • bbq wooden skewers (optional)

Supplies:

This kit includes 9 marshmallow pieces, 1/2 bar of hazelnut chocolate and 1/2 bar of milk chocolate, 9 large pieces of graham crackers and 9 wooden skewers.

We used a mixture of cellophane and glassine bags to repackage all of the items. If you can't get your hands on glassine bags, you may also use parchment paper or wax paper to create a protective sleeve/band for the chocolates. The crackers I purchased came with two ready-packed bundles!

The labels are simply punched out of kraft paper using a 2-inch circular punch, embellished with a red dotted border (super fine red sharpie) then attached to the packaged goods using a glue-stick.

Enjoy!

P.S. If you will be giving a similar gift (using repackaged food) it is best to include a list of the ingredients for those who may suffer from allergies, or to save the wrappers in case they are needed.

How To: Vintage Photo Gift Tags

Hi everyone! We're back with another video tutorial. We wanted to show you a quick and easy way to embellish and customize our Jumbo and Mini Metal-Rimmed tags now available in our shop! Have fun!

Resources for this project:

PS. If you'd like you can add extra embellishment to your tags by: glittering the rims or parts of the photo that you want to highlight, use different ribbons/twine in place of the string... the possibilities are endless!

Psst... if you have any ideas for projects you'd like to see made into video tutorials or would like to show us your completed projects, drop us a line. We'd love to hear from you.
