Jelly Bean Pouches for table presents and gifts

Firstly I must apologise that I missed Thursday and Saturday this week, I am not sure if I have previously said but i am a ‘spoonie.’ I have a chronic illness which in my case is Chronic Pain, it effects my tierdness the term was originally penned by Christine Miserandino who entitled her theory ‘The Spoon Theory.’ I have had an odd week and so apologise for not posting.

My video today is a Jellybean pouch created to enclose a 40g Jellybelly pouch, I love them, I have made them for craft fairs and also used them as table presents and a little present if I am giving money or a gift card.

The video below shows how to create them. I did make an error the sheet is 4 1/2”

I hope you like them, I would love to see pictures of yours if you make some, these are definitely craft fair must haves.

Simple Hexagonal Tealight Holder bag

I wanted to show you one of my favourite bags, although it may be a box. It is a tealight holder which I make when I need a gorgeous quick pressie or table gift. The box/bag was created by pootles. It is gorgeous and so easy to make. 

I created a cute christmas version using the 'All is Bright' DSP paper and the 'itty bitty greetings' stamp set. The brilliant thing about the light bulb paper is that they are all random so the direction is not important. My second example was using the 'Frosted Floral DSP'. I love the colours and it shimmers.

Tranquil Textures Post it holders

I love making Post it note holders. they are perfect for gifts and also for craft fairs. There are so many different sizes but the 2” squares so cute and you can get 6 from one sheet of card stock.

They are really simple to make and can be decorated any way you like and no stamping if you don’t want to. On these smaller sizes I think that a few embellishments finish off the decoration perfectly. There are two videos below, one with the items you will need and one with the instructions.
