What you’ll need:

• Kraft Paper

• Twine (optional)
• Scissors
• Wine Cork

Instructions:

1. Simply dip one end of your wine cork in the paint.
2. Press firmly onto the paper.
3. Repeat with a variety of sizes and colors.
4. Once dry, wrap your present.
5. Then add the twine to give it a rustic holiday touch.

Monisa says,

You can use any objects to make fun shapes and designs, but for this project my object of choice is a wine cork! It’s really easy to make circles on the paper, and you can use both ends to get different sized circles. Be sure and let the kids get creative as they want! There are no wrong designs.

• cardstock (multiple colors)
• die cut machine

• button
• ribbon

Instructions:

1. Search out the perfect die cuts for your treat bag + tag, don;t forget to check your stash first!
2. Cut and assemble treat bag.
3. Add button or other accent to die cut tag.
4. Attach tag and seal  bag with ribbon tied in a bow.

Jen says,

Sometimes it’s fun to create a gift of the wrapping itself, in addition to the actual gift! I had fun putting this little snowflake treat bag together using my die-cutting machine and adding the simple touch of a single button. This would be perfect for housing a handmade ornament or to keep some handmade treats inside, ready for gift giving!
