Basil Salt Gifts
This is another pin there - done that project. It's no secret that I'm an avid Pinterest fan or that I usually have an over-abundance of basil. I spotted the idea for basil salt on Home Is Where The Boat Is (one of my favorite blogs).
I made the basil salt and packaged it in Glass Snap Top Wedding Favor Jars that I found at Michaels. I made the labels, printed them and attached them with double-sided tape (another tip I picked up from a Pinterest project). I found the salt spoons on ebay. Such a quick, easy, nice little gift!
Label for Basil Salt
Vicki & I get together for lunch and to exchange Christmas gifts each year (and then we usually spend the rest of the day shopping). This year I made her two necklaces and came up with some creative packaging. I found the triangle box (triangle is her favorite shape), the letter V and the scrapbook photo case at Michaels. Using them made them gifts as well. I bought the cabs for the necklaces when we were at the Bead & Button show in June.
Painted the box with a wash of metallic paint and used glitter paint for the letter.
Wrap the present in coordinating tissue paper and put it inside the photo storage case. Add a ribbon and gift tag & the package becomes part of the gift!
