Butterfly Envelopes

This is an oldie, but goodie - turning envelopes into treat bags. I found these really cool Seventies envelopes at a flea market. (It was more flea than market, but I did come away with some great stuff!) Don't you love the orange and hot pink?

It couldn't be easier to turn your envelopes into a quick gift bag - perfect for a little treat or gift card - maybe both?

Seal the envelope (I use glue, instead of just licking it - want to make sure it stays sealed).

Then cut open one end - you can use pinking shears or decorative scissors.

Now what? Just decorate!

This one already has some fun flowers. I pinked across the top, clipped on a pretty butterfly and glued in a white doily on the inside. Love it!

This one is a plain white envelope. I wrapped wide washi tape around the bottom. Holes are punched across the top and threaded with twine. It got a pretty butterfly, too!

Need a quick gift bag? Try an envelope!

Hope you're having a lovely week. Happy you came by!

Visions of Sugarplums Day Four

What a week! Hope you're enjoying the fun projects at all the blogs - I certainly am! I just love all the creative Christmas projects I'm seeing!

If you need a super easy cute favor for a party or perhaps a little something to give to co-workers, this might just fit the bill. This cutie pie is from Kitty Bee Design. Oh, you will find cuteness there! A big thank you to Kitty Bee Design for offering a giveaway every day this week!

Do you like Peppermint Patties? Well that's what is lurking behind the snowflake band. I actually love Peppermint Patties, but hardly ever have one. I may have to have a treat. MAY have to? Let's change that to HAVE to!

Studio Shine Vintage has awesome sweet cute vintage images! I think I need every single image she has! Aren't the gingerbread man and snowman adorable? If you want to see how to make the fringed straws, click HERE. The cute straws can be easily removed from the bag and could be used again.

I also used the gingerbread man to make this really cool gift bag from towel fabric. At my local fabric store, they had a lot of different towel fabrics in bin. I didn't know what they were for until she asked me if I was going to be making towels. And then I thought "DUH!" I told her, I wasn't sure what I was going to do, I just liked the fabric! The end is already finished, so I just cut some off and sewed up the sides. I stamped some hearts and cherries and tied the top of the bag with red ribbon. Easy as can be and unique, too! Of course, the gingerbread boy makes it super cute!
