Wrapping Caddy {DIY and a winner}

This all started after I saw this post on Eighteen 25 over Christmas.

I fall madly in love.

Jump forward three months and I am just now making one, or should I say

I just now had a good enough reason to make one.

You see I got to meet someone I already considered a friend but

until this weekend our friendship had never moved out of the computer screen.

Kori from Paper & Pigtails has been someone I have grown to love and admire for many reasons. And I wanted to give her something as a wee little thanks for all she has done for me.

After a little trip to Sonic for a Cherry Limeade {YUMM-O} and a drink holder, I got to make

the Wrapping Caddy.

The caddy pre make over {I had already hold punched it though}. I hot glued all the bottom flaps shut. And after two coats of Mod Podge, I got to the goodies to go inside.

I took mason jars and taped them off and sprayed the bottoms a pretty blue. I filled two with The Twinery twine, by taking wooden clothes pins and wrapping it around them. Another jar I filled with fabric rosettes I made. And the fourth, I put clip board letters in.

When I Mod Podged, I had added a paper dolly to the handle.

I took plain white tags and add a little fabric ruffle to the bottom of them, then attached them to the caddy with wooden clothes pins.

I pulled the twine through the holes {I wish I had added those cute eyelets like on the Eighteen 25 caddy}. Great way to keep your twine on hand with a little pull.

Lastly I added a fabric ruffle to the box to cover up the Sonic logo.

It turned out WAY cute. I have a feeling I will be heading to Sonic for more Cherry Limeades, very soon.

Enjoy!

A little gift for Teacher.

Last night was "Meet the Teachers" night at Buggies school.

I had wanted to bring a little something for her to give them as a little something

as a GREAT start to the new school year.

Taking the back to school kit from TomKat Studio, I printed off a set of 8 apple flat note cards and a set of 8 mini folded notecards for each of her three teachers. I also printed a sheet of cupcake toppers to use as embellishments.

Using some Maraschino Twine from The Twinery, I tied up the sweet little notecards. I also used a corner punch to round the edges of the cards {I think it makes them even that more sweet!}.

I had some left over paper from last year that I used to cut apples with my Circut and also a little strip to add to the brown paper bag {these are the larger ones}. Finished it off with some more twine and a cupcake topper w/ ribbon accent.

They sure were a hit!
