Wrap a food gift

In the Fall I love to bake and give away some to friends.  I like to dress up my gifts.  This is one idea I did this week.  I found some raffia and some tissue paper around the house and came up with the idea.

I downloaded the print from about.com clip art.  To assemble, I put the small pumpkin bread I made in a gift bag I had on hand from a craft store.  I wrapped the strip of tissue paper around the loaf, then finished with the tied raffia, sticking the print under. A little invisible tape helps.

This would work for any holiday or any occasion

Hello,  I am so excited about my new blog.  Welcome!  I have so many ideas I would like to share with you.  I hope you enjoy them.  I love to be creative, don't you?  On this blog, you will see DIY for home and family.  So let's begin:

I love the Fall.  It is my favorite season.  I decorate the house and think of a craft or two to do.  I found these place mats at Target.  Anything plain needs adornment. I choose a pumpkin design from clip art at about.com, then cut the pumpkins from felted sweaters.  I attached them to the place mat with a running stitch with embroidery floss.

I finished with a stem of felted sweater, whip stitched on.  Pretty cute for a kitchen table.
