Hello sweet friends and welcome to The Kraft Journal #91 - 'Reuse & Recycle'!! I LOVE to re-purpose things I find in my travels and use them on crafty projects!!
For today's 'Reuse & Recycle' challenge I created some
cute Halloween-inspired smores treat bags!
For the kraft coffee bags,
corrugated cardboard and tea-stained tags, you can use items found
around your home - reuse and recycle -- but if you don't have any of the
items on your project list around the house, you can find all the
supplies needed to make these bags in The Kraft Outlet Shop!
First I cut a window out of the front of each Small Kraft Coffee Bag
using a label die and then added a clear acetate window inside the bag
to hold the smores goodies (a ghost peep, two graham crackers and a
chocolate bar).
You can use a piece of clear acetate that comes on the
packaging of many items purchased from stores these days.
Next, I
folded a paper doilie over the top of each bag and secured it closed
with a Black Wooden Clothespin.
I created a pretty nosegay with fabric flowers, leaves cut from Corrugated Kraft Paper and inked with cream paint, gold glittered Chip Board stars made with a star punch, two Antique Stick Pins, Orange and Black Baker's Twine ... and sweet X-Small Grungy Prim Tags - stamped with spooky sentiments using stamps from Paper Sweeties!
I used sentiments from these sweet stamp sets:
I hosted our monthly dinner club gathering at my home last weekend and gave one of these smores treat bags to each couple who attended the party! They thought they were so cute! The bags were super easy to assemble ... and the project came together in a snap using all these amazing goodies from The Kraft Outlet Shop!
Please be sure to pop on over to The Kraft Journal Challenge Blog to check out the amazing inspiration from the rest of the teamies today ... and then we hope you'll have time to give our 'Reuse & Recycle' challenge a try for your chance to win an amazing prize from The Kraft Outlet Shop!
