Monogrammed Natural Drawer Fresheners
Pure Jute Twine
Regardless of the season, my go-to ribbon is jute twine. Whereas it’s important within the backyard for tying up unruly vines or making wreaths, it additionally works completely to tie reward tags on jars and packing containers for reward giving. I like the feel and rustic really feel that jute provides to any reward.
Backyard Clippings
A sprig of evergreen or a department of berries appears prettier than any pre-made bow I’ve ever seen. Get some pruners or sharp scissors, head out to the backyard, and clip one thing inexperienced to tuck into the twine.
In case you are unsure which vegetation to succeed in for, I’ve put collectively a whole submit that lists the finest backyard greenery for crafts and which of them to keep away from. The very last thing you wish to do is snip a couple of sprigs to brighten your presents with, solely to have them scent like cat urine the following day (I’m taking a look at you, boxwood).
From the Recycling Bin
You in all probability have already got a stash of cellophane wrap, reward baggage, ribbons, and packing containers that you should utilize for wrapping.
They might not look brand-new, however I’m positive that’s the very last thing on the thoughts of your giftee—they’re getting a considerate reward from you in spite of everything! I do know I might tremendously recognize each the reward and the inexperienced gesture.
Recycled Present Tags & Labels
When you’re reusing reward baggage and packing containers, you’ll additionally want so as to add a brand new reward tag. A intelligent strategy to make them is to make use of a tag punch to create reward tags from a few of the playing cards you’ve acquired.
Birthday playing cards, Christmas, or no matter have you ever, a tag punch will rapidly make three to 4 new reward tags out of 1 beforehand loved card.
Stamped Present Tags
A set of letter stamps and a few plain reward tags could be a fairly strategy to give directions on the way to use your reward. I did that for this tub tea venture. I like the country look of those letters!
Printable Present Tags
Seize some recycle paper and put it into your printer and make your personal reward tags utilizing fairly printable tags. I selected to hand-letter the reward names on these, however you would simply select a enjoyable font and print them as a substitute.
Printable Labels
Selfmade presents don’t include directions, and a few of the stuff you make would possibly look so good, however they will also be a bit complicated as to what they’re. The handmade cleaning soap might look so pleasing that your buddy thinks it’s fudge. It’s occurred to me! Now I all the time add a label to let my friends know what they’re getting (and save them from consuming tub merchandise).
These spherical labels are available 2″ and a couple of.5″ diameter to suit the highest of an everyday mouth and wide-mouth canning jar, respectively. Print them on full sheet label paper and use a 2″ or 2.5″ craft punch to chop out excellent circles. Listed below are extra directions for the way to print and lower out labels.
Mason Jars
Who doesn’t love a present in an exquisite glass jar? Mason jars are extremely helpful and versatile. I truly acquire Mason jars! So each time I get a present in a jar it’s like getting two presents in a single.
Want some presents you can also make in bulk? Jars are your buddy! I made 30 of those teeny-tiny herb ending salts in miniature Kilner jars for an occasion. The picket spoon was the right added contact too.
Material and Textiles
Take into account wrapping your reward in textiles that grow to be a part of the reward. You can wrap home-baked goodies in a hand-stamped serviette, use a knit washcloth to wrap handmade cleaning soap, or make a felted pot cowl for a plant.
