Little Gifties

As I was strolling the $1 section at Target, I came across these little erasers and thought, maybe my grandkids would like these to give to their friends. And an idea was born! LOL!
They fit perfectly into our 2" x 8" Cello bags. I wanted it to be super simple and cute. The kids went nuts over them. I first only made three (1 for each of them) and asked if they would like them for their friends. YES Grandma! How many? Anthony wanted one bag for each child in his class, Jocelyn wanted 10 and Gianna 7. So I went back to Target to get more erasers.......I ended up with 10 for each of them. they were happy and took them to school today. The Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set with the matching punch was the perfect "quick" tag to use on each of them, remember I'm up to 30 bags. My grandson was impressed that I had a boy and girl gingerbread. High praise from a 7 year old boy.

Each bag had about 16 erasers in them. I put two holes in each one and threaded the (retired) Cherry Cobbler Thick Baker's Twine through and tied in a bow in the back and then trimmed off a couple of inches from the cello bags. For the reindeer I added a Red Glimmer nose punched with the 1/2" Circle Punch. The gingerbread got either Red Glimmer bow tie or hair bow. I used up a bunch of scraps from my Crumb Cake cardstock. Forget to list the 1/8" Hand Held Punch, #134563.
