Next here's a pack of peppermint coffee/tea/hot chocolate spoons I picked up after Christmas at Kohls. On clearance for 70% off so the total cost of the spoons was $2.10. There are 8 spoons in the package and each are individually wrapped at about a cost of 26 cents a spoon. They are not specifically Christmasy which is why I grabbed them and they certainly have a long shelf life. I've used two of the spoons already!!!!
So here is the stuffed Fairy Valentine Bag. It's stuffed with the items pictured below and is intended for the daughter of one of the girls at work. She is "into" fairies and since I had the stuff and wanted to play around with a project...this was the perfect opportunity!
Here are the details of the items.
- Multi-colored heart mini tote bag purchased last year after Valentine's Day: 25 cents,
- Fancy Red draw string bag with feathers purchased after Christmas 12 cents.
- To the right of that is a little altered book. It is a blank book that I found at Dollar General called Angels in Disguise. They were 2 for a dollar. I used some heart paper and stickers to make it a little Valentine Fairy Book!
- Below that you see the strings for the tea bags. I added the tiny hears. You can also do one larger heart but I didn't have a large heart punch so I just used the tiny one I had!
- To the left of the tea bags is a red candy stirring sppon that I added ribbons to
- Last a star wand that I also embellished with ribbon. The wands came in a four pack in the Valentine section of Walmart for $2.00. So the wands are 50 cents each.
- Last I printed the Fairy Tea poem and put it on some card stock with a heart!
I tucked the three tea bags and card with the poem into the little red bag before inserting it into the tote. Then I just tucked in the other items and viola...a cute inexpensive original Valentine's gift. TOTAL COST is about $2.20 (figuring in a few cents for the ribbon and tea bags). Hope you enjoy it and are inspired to create some fun little gifts yourself!
