Decorative Gift Handles

February 7, 2012 by Michele

 

 

Don’t even bother with a bow. Make a nifty handle out of a cracker box.

 

Attach it to your inside-out cereal box with some nifty brads.

 

 

Place the goodies inside. And see that? It’s a nifty gift.

    Very neat – they have a rather industrial feel…

      I kinda like that about them. A little different, you know?

    Cool beans! I never think to decorate the handles –what have I been missing?!

    • Michele Pacey says

      February 8, 2012 at 6:25 pm

      Well maybe you've been giving handle-free gifts… That works too eh?

    I have just now found your blog and want to say how talented and creative I think you are. I also saw your wreath blog and enjoyed viewing the different styles of wreaths. I am a lover of wreaths, too. I have a very girly pink wreath on my blog that I made days ago. If you link to parties, I would love to have you join my "Your Cozy Home Party" going on now until Thursday night. I'm sure others who don't know about your nice blog would be interested in visiting you. Hope to see you there.—– Shannon

    So you cover the cereal box with some wrapping or brown paper and cut the handle with a box cutter? Have I got that right? I think it is wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing. Great for birthday party favours.
