Here is my second project for todays Ways to Use it challenge to use designer staples.
I used dark pink staples to attach the top to the bag as well as the ribbon to the circle tag.
The pattern for these cute felt fortune cookies is in the February issue of Martha Stewart's Magazine. You cut a 4 inch circle, glue a slightly shorter piece of florist wire in the center, glue a 4 inch piece of grosgrain ribbon over the wire - let it dry - then you bend the wire in a half circle and it forms the cookie!!
I stamped Hugs and Kisses on a strip of vellum and attached it to the inside of the 'cookie' like the fortune.
I put shreded paper in a flat bottom clear bag added some Kisses and the fortune cookie, folded over the bag and stapled the cuttled top to the bag. I stapled the ribbon on the punched stamped circle and attached it to the cuttled top.
I made these for my church's Valentine's day sale this Sunday.
TFL!
