Looking for a cute and practical way to present a small Easter gift to someone ? Why not make a quick and easy 'sour cream container' or a small gift bag ?
The 'sour cream container' is simply made from a rectangle of cardstock and decorated as desired. Do an online search and you'll find loads of sites with both written and video tutorials. I used the scalloped blade on my rotary trimmer to pretty the ends, then crimped them a little with my paper crimper. Layered cardstock elements make the flower on the top (use pre-made or create your own).
The gift bag (which fits onto 1 x A4 sized page) can be found HERE or search this blog or online for other styles.
I printed the gift bag template onto white printer paper, then cut it out with my fingertip knife, traced it onto the back of my cardstock, and then cut that out and glued it together as per the instructions. The bunny in the middle of the flower was an image I found online and printed onto cardstock. I punched it out using my 'round n round' squeeze punch. I used the scallop blade on my rotary trimmer and cut a length of white, and a length of pink cardstock, then layered them and adhered them to the top of my baggie.
These projects are certainly something that the kids would enjoy, and they're a great way to use up cardstock that you're not-so-fond-of anymore for layouts.
Whatever you're doing over Easter, stay safe, and I hope that the Easter Bunny brings you lots of yummy treats !
