DIY Pinterest Specials

Ever been on a craft  binge? This definitely rates as one since we made so many things over 7 hours and 1 more hour the next day to wrap it all up. The possibilities of each project are limitless depending on size of container/box made, type of paper and colors used. Pinterest was the main resource. We made efforts to be thrifty reusing scraps and using supplies Bernie and Linda already had.  


Be creative and let your imagination run wild with these fun ideas. Are you ready? The table is all set with everything you need.   A tutorial for each project is included. Click on the link.

I am starting with my favorite project- Designer Cookie Box made with a decorated paper plate. A step up from your basic white paper plate.

one suggestion for making this bag over the tutorial is using double sided tape so tape doesn't show.

a wonderful easy to follow tutorial

PS. We treated ourselves to a movie afterwards leaving Bella unattended. We did think we had picked up all the treat boxes and baskets. But guess we had over looked one. When we returned we discovered a messy trail. The good news... apparently Bella does not like Junior Mints as most were still left behind and only one gift box was torn.
