Quick and Easy New Year’s Eve Gift

Dec

Hi friends! It’s Wendy Sue with you again today – I know Christmas is barely over, but there are only a couple of days before we get to celebrate New Year’s! Do you do anything special to celebrate with your family or friends? We’re pretty low-key around here, but as the kids have gotten older, we like to stay up and watch the ball drop on TV. Occasionally we’ll pick up a few fireworks to set off outside. But mostly we’re pretty quiet. I thought it would be fun this year to put together a little gift for each family member for New Year’s Eve. Here’s what I came up with:

New Year's Eve Confetti Tubes and Gift Box by @wendysuea for #PebblesInc with the "Winter Wonderland" collection

The pillow boxes are quick and easy to put together with the help of this handy-dandy pillow box punch board!

I embellished the outside with a strip of paper with thickers for the year,

Inside each pillow box I’ve added a fun little tube of confetti! (which will, of course, be thrown OUTSIDE at the stroke of midnight!) It was quick and easy to make the confetti tubes to coordinate with the gift box.

This new confetti punch makes it super simple to punch a bunch of different sized circles at the same time.

In addition to the confetti, I added some glow sticks, candies, etc. to make the evening special!

After the pillow boxes were filled and ready to give, I sealed up the ends with washi tape:

More Home+Made Projects with Monique

Hi everyone, it’s Monique again guest designing for Pebbles!

I’m so in love with the beautiful Home + Made collection from Jen Hadfield! It almost scraps itself! For today’s blog post I decorated the “Home Art Hanger” and created a layout for it. Here’s what I did:

As I love all the sheets of patterned paper in this collection so very much I wanted to create a layout using lots of those sheets and came up with this design. It includes 8 strips of patterned paper measuring 3″x 6″.

I also added a few pieces of the beautiful decorative tape and the large “I Love Us” cut file, which I designed myself and cut out using my Silhouette Cameo. Next came the photo and the other embellishments:

A few detail photos: I used one of the 3″x 3″ Minc cards and some puffy phrase stickers. The arrow was cut with the Homemade dieset from one of the mini kraft pocket tags.

And the layout wouldn’t be complete without these cute phrase tags, which I adhered using a stapler.

The Art Hanger I painted white and decorated with some patterned paper and a gold foil letter sticker:

I love how easy to use this Art Hanger is. It contains two magnets at the back and you just clip your project in between:

Supplies:
Homemade 12×12 Paper Pad (732643)
Homemade Mini Kraft Pockets With Gold Glitter Accents (732620)
Homemade Home Phrase Tags (732639)
Homemade Decorative Tape (732626)
DIY Home Art Hanger (732945)
Homemade Minc 3×3 Card Set
Homemade Puffy Phrase Stickers
Homemade Dies Set
American Crafts Thickers Printed Foil Letter Stickers

And because I hate wasting even a tiny piece of this beautiful collection and because I had so many scraps lying on my desk, I decided to created these 2 super quick and fun gift bags:

Here’s the pile of scraps I had left after creating my other projects:

And this is what I got when I grabbed three pieces of paper and a Minc card out of this pile and stapled them together with a phrase tag:

Fun right? Together with a doily from my own stash I adhered them on top of one of the kraft glitter bags and voilà, ready to use!

And here’s the other of my “one-minute” gift bags:

In less than 5 minutes I got these two beautiful gift bags suitable for any birthday!

Homemade 12×12 Paper Pad (732643)

Thank you so much for letting me share my projects with you! Have a fabulous day!

Upcycled Halloween Treat Containers

Oct

4 Comments

Happy Halloween, Pebbles fans! Amanda here today. I love candy. I love eating it and I love giving it away, which makes Halloween the perfect holiday for me. Now that I’m a little older, I try to focus on giving away more candy than I eat. It helps reduce the temptation to stuff my face with peanut butter cups all day long.

Upcycling and repurposing food containers is one of my favorite ways to make quick gift containers. I have a h-u-g-e bag (or two) filled with jars, cans, bottles, and boxes just for the purpose of making treat jars, pencil cups, and storage containers. Sure, sometimes the labels can be tricky, but it is super convenient and, above all, good for the Earth. These plastic containers are dressed up with washi tape, tags, and twine. They take minutes to put together and don’t require any special techniques. Bonus!

I’ll bet you recognize the shape of this container! Frosting containers are seriously my favorite. They are just the right size for giving away larger pieces of candy. Don’t these bloodshot eyeball gumballs look perfectly creepy? Worried about travelling with an open container? Place the candy in a clear cellophane bag and tie with a pretty bow before putting the candy in the container.

Pebbles Chips are one of my favorite Pebbles products. They are perfect for making cute tags for your upcycled treat containers. I think this skeleton looks extra cute with a little twine bow on her head.

Repurposing a plastic container into a gift container is easy. For this project you will need: empty containers, washi tape, tags, and twine.

Trim your washi tape to size by wrapping the washi sheet around your treat container and cutting off the excess. The shorter the washi strips, the easier they are to work with. Plus, you will have saved the little extra washi strips to use on cards and layouts later.

Wrap the washi strips around the container one at a time, starting at the top. Using the nice, straight edge at the top as a guide will ensure that all of your washi tape lines up nicely. Start by adhering your washi tape in the middle on the front. Adhere one side at a time until the ends overlap on the back of the container.

The lid for the middle container was originally light blue. Yuck! CRAFTY TIP: Spray paint lids so they coordinate with your treat containers. Choose a spray paint that is compatible with type of lid you are painting (i.e., plastic, metal).

Happy Haunting!

Amanda

Halloween Candle Holders

Oct

Hello Pebbles’ fans, I’m Eva Pizarro and today I am bringing you a quick tutorial on how to make candle holders and decorate your home during the holidays.

I had a baby a few months ago, and now I have so MANY baby food jars! I don’t throw them away because I know I can use them for something fun and creative! These candle holders were the perfect craft to help me use some of them and decorate my house.

I am using the new Boo! collection from Pebbles and because it has so many gorgeous embellishments I was able to make these candle holders really quickly.

For this one I simply took some of the washi tape strips and applied them around the jar.
