....my true love gave to me:
'Festive in 5 or Fewer'!
Forgive me for the cryptic title. Last week, our Relief Society had a gathering called "Festive in 5 or Fewer". The idea was that we'd walk away with ideas that cost less than $5, take less than 5 minutes, or require 5 or less things.
It was so fun! I was asked to demonstrate some creative decorating or gift-wrap ideas. Gulp. My first assignment here! Here's what I came up with, all courtesy of Pinterest.
This is an old saran-wrap box. I just covered it with wrapping paper (I used mod podge), filled it with treats, and tied with a bow.
This peppermint tree is just made from a cardstock cone and, obviously, peppermints. Just don't try to move it around too much.
Here's a jar painted with silver spray paint, filled with treats, and tied with a ribbon.
And, my personal favorite, a snow globe containing a gift card. For this one, use hot glue to attach a gift card and a few Christmas trinkets (dollar store ornaments) to the lid of a jar. LET IT DRY FOR A FEW HOURS!! I didn't do that the first time, and had floating trinkets and gift cards. Then add water and glitter. Don't let this sit around for more than a week, and I'd include the receipt, just in case.
Hopefully you can use some of these ideas if you need to be festive in 5 or fewer!
