Pillow Box Shakers

Dec

Hello Pebbles Fans! Holly here from Ribbons & Glue! Since the New Year is creeping upon us, I’m sharing some simple Pillow Box Shakers made from the Pebbles Inc. Home+Made collection that would be perfect to make to ring in the New Year.

These shaker boxes are made using the We R Memory Keepers Pillow Box Punch Board and the gorgeous Home+Made collection by Jen Hadfield. This collection is full of gold which just screams Happy New Year!

To make my Pillow Box Shakers, I made a 5 x 6 inch pillow box following the We R Memory Keepers Punch Board instructions. I then added pop corn kernels inside the box to use as a noise maker and hot glued the ends of the box together.

The boxes are embellished with Home+Made decorative tapes, Alpha Thickers, gold stickers, glitter tape and ribbon.

I cut a small slit at the end of each box and hot glued the boxes onto a popsicle stick that I covered with glitter tape.

You can see how I assembled these Pillow Box Shakers on my blog Ribbons & Glue.

Party Favor Bags

Amanda here today and I am crazy for Pebbles’ treat bags! They come in a variety of fun patterns and can package up gifts in several different ways.

Today I will be showing you how to package up the same treat bag in three different ways using mini clothespins to secure tags and labels to each bag.

One of my favorite ways to secure a tag or label to a treat bag is with a mini clothes pin. It eliminates the need for a permanent closure, making it easy for the recipient to get into their goodies and save some for later.

The easiest way to package treats is to fold over the top of the bag and secure the bag and tag with a clothes pin. Embellish your tags with die cuts, popping up some with foam to add dimension.

I love scrunching the top of my treat bags to make them look like a sack full of goodies. Tie the bag closed with a piece of baker’s twine and add a tag to the twine with a mini clothes pin.

Another fun way to package up goodies in a treat bag is to crease and fold the bag so it stands like a lunch bag. This is a great way to package treats that need to stand upright. I topped this bag with a folded circle and some fun die cuts.

To create a stand up bag out of a flat treat bag, start by folding in the sides of the bag about 3/4″. This creates the creases that you’ll need to help form your bag.

Next, fold the bottom of the bag 3/4″ creating another crease. The most important thing to do is to make all of your folds the same depth so all of your creases line up.

After you have created creases in your bag, open the bag and make nice creases all the way around the bag, creating little triangles at the base of the bag.

Secure the triangles to the bottom of the bag with transparent tape.

Now your bag should stand up nicely and look like a pretty little lunch bag. Fill with presents, goodies, or gift cards!

Have a great day!
Amanda

Birthday Burger Box Favors

Tired of the same old party favors? Want something new, fun and different? Today, Design Team Member Wendy Sue Anderson tantalizes our tastebuds with these fun and super unique birthday burger box party favors.

If you are looking for a unique favor box for your next birthday bash, check out these fun burger boxes I created using a Silhouette Cut file and products from the “Birthday Wishes” line!

I cut the boxes from the “Confetti” patterned paper. After following the instructions to assemble the boxes, I cut a ½” x 12” strip of paper from the “Happy Birthday” patterned paper to create a wrap to put around each box.

To embellish the top, I simply layered some of the medallion die-cuts with coordinating rosettes and tucked a “Thank you” tag, cut from the “Celebration” patterned paper, underneath each rosette.

The result is a distinctive little favor box, ready to fill with a sweet treat, to send home with party guests!

Halloween Party Treat Jars

We’re having such a fun Halloween party on the blog this week. We’ve showcased everything from classroom treats to party decor.

Today, Design Team Member Kim Kesti, is sharing her take on the perfect Halloween treat container.

No Halloween party is complete without plenty of treats, right? I rescued this good-sized jar from the back of my pantry and decided it would be the perfect treat container.

It was really quite easy to dress it up. First, I trimmed some strips of paper and adhered them to jar.

I used the Thirty-One Phrase and Accent Stickers to “create a scene”. I adore that spooky tree, so I used that and added some playful ghosts, a few bats and lots of twinkling stars.

To trim the jar a little more, I added Glitter Foam Thickers to a decorative tag and tied it to the jar with a satin ribbon.

Isn’t it amazing what you can do with patterned paper and stickers? Easy, simple and quite fabulous!

Supplies:
Thirty One Eerie (732300)
Thirty One Spider Webs (732292)
Thirty One Phrase and Accent Stickers (732304)
Thirty One Decorative Tags (732308)

Halloween Party Favor Bags

Halloween party season is upon us! Whether you are hosting a party of your own or will simply be a party guest, Design Team member Amanda Coleman has a fun and easy gift bag idea that is sure charm party guests.

Send your Halloween party guests home with a little gift or treat in a custom made gift bag. Not hosting a party? Give your hostess a spooky gift in one of these little bags.

Making a flat gift bag stand up like a lunch sack is really easy. Here’s how I did it:

1. Start with a flat gift bag.

2. Create creases in the bag by folding in the sides and bottom of the bag about 1″.

3. Using the creases you just made, stick your hand inside the bag and fold the bag into a 3D rectangle. Fold in the corners at the bottom and adhere with tape.

4. Stand the bag up and fill with goodies!

Top your bag with a simple banner by trimming flags from patterned paper and attaching them with miniature clothespins.

The toe tags are my favorite. They are a little bit creepy and a lot of fun. Simply attach toe tags to the top of your bag with a colorful clothespin.

The Thirty-One triangle banner kit is perfect for topping gift bags. Add a cute sticker or two and your bag is ready to go!
