CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#10) SCRAPS

In light of the upcoming "entertaining" a.k.a. the holiday season, I thought I would share a tip on how to use scraps of paper for easy projects that you can use when entertaining. Whether your planning an intimate dinner for two or buffet meal for a few, this idea is sure to be suitable.


If you have scraps of paper in your stash that you just could not trash...

Here are 3 ideas for their use:

1- As a place card/name card for seating at the dinner table
2- As a identifier tent for your buffet items. For example, if you set out different dishes, you can use stickers or your favorite copic markers to write what each of the dishes are then place the folded, tent like card in front of the dish.
3-As a seal or cover for little cellophane treat bags. You would just fit your scrap piece of cardstock (fully embellished of course) over your cellophane bag after filling it with goodies, fastening it into place with either the fastenater or the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher. Think of how great it would be to send your guest home with customized treat bags.

Happy Crafting!
