hi there! just a quick post to show some little projects i made today. i have had some ideas floating around in my head and i finally got a chance to make them today. the first one is a caramel apple kit. thought it would make a fun gift to give someone some caramels and some sticks...just add apples! :) have you ever made caramel apples before? they are sooo good and soooo easy! i also typed up a little recipe card to stick in the box.
this next one is a little caffeinated treat. :) starbucks has new little packets of instant coffee and i thought a couple of them together would make a cute little pick me up. i created this little pouch to hold 3 of the packets. quick and easy! i am always on the look out for little things to make for my kids' teachers to give them *just because* and i think both of these would work great!! i hope you are having a fun weekend! thanks for visiting! :)
edited to add: i had a couple requests for the directions on these coffee packets and here they are! i took an 8.5x11 piece of cardstock and cut 3 inches off the 8.5 side so i had a piece of cardstock that was 3x8.5. i scored it at 4 and 4.25 and folded those pieces to make a little pouch. then i punched the shorter side of the cardstock with a border punch and folded it over at 7.5. i used a couple pop dots inside the pouch on each side to hold the pouch together. if you wanted to add more coffee packets in there, you could cut your paper larger than 3 inches. please let me know if you have any questions! :)
love these would do you have the directions?

These are very clever, Jennie! What fun ideas! Have you tried the Starbucks Via yet? I haven't, and I've been curious to see if it's just as good as the regular stuff!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! I need to get crafty today!
