Quick & Easy Christmas Gift Idea
Shortly after Thanksgiving, I was scrolling through Pinterest and came across this cute little idea for a quick and easy gift for friends, neighbors, etc. I thought it was a great idea, but decided to give it my own little touch by rewriting the poem and stamping the cards with festive Christmas presents for decoration.
On a tight budget, this year I decided to give this little gifts to the other kindergarten teachers and assistants that I work with at school. At Michael's, I found super cute Christmas wrapping paper on sale half price and bought bulk Scotch tape at Home Depot. I tried to pick out wrapping paper that I felt like suited their personalities and styles.
Once the paper was picked out and the tape was purchased, I decided to rewrite the poem. This is what I came up with:
You've been shopping.
Hardly stopping.
No time for napping.
Time to get wrapping!
No tissue or paper to spare?
Here's some to show I care.
I printed up the poem using my computer and cut them into squares. Then I simply cut squares of red cardstock that made a 1/4 inch border around the poem. Then I added the Christmas presents stamp in green ink. I attached the poem and Scotch tape with red or white tulle ribbon I had left over from another project. Easy-peasy!
These were a huge hit with my co-workers and took the worry out of what to get each of them. So, that alone, was priceless. Hope you like this idea.
Have a blessed day,
