A couple weeks ago we had an event for our Phoenix Fridas group. As an incentive to lure people, we promoted a free little gift to the first 25 guests. I had it planned for weeks what I wanted to make for this. Of course, life happened and my plans changed. Fast forward to the morning of the event. I had exactly one hour to make 25 ornaments. I didn't panic, I thought like an assembly line, put on my favorite tunes and got busy!
Here is how I did it!
Call me a weirdo - or a crafty hoarder - but I love to buy collections of things, like this big box of tin party favors. I used our Phoenix Frida logo, printed it on a business card template on cardstock and I cut out the images. I also happen to have a box of flower pedals, which I used as a background for the tins. I didn't even need wet glue - I used
Aleene's Tacky Sticker Sheets and Tacky Dots!
Once I had them all filled, I added the lids and used hot glue to add a piece of ribbon for hanging.
They were a hit! We placed them on a table and as people came to our event, we gave them one. THat way they'll always remember our craft group!
Smart use of stash to fashion memorable ornaments! Love love the idea to make keepsake ornaments w/ the keiki (children) @ the library, using photos I take of them at our weekly storytimes. Mahalo, thank you for the inspiration.
