Today I have a quick and easy stocking filler project. While I was going through my cello bags I found some 2″ x 8″ cello bags that I thought would be perfect for a few pencils and a bit of simple decoration. I also found a few 1″ cello bags that were retired stock and used these up too.
In my Inspiration box I had several packs of pencils that I hadn’t even opened. I put 2 of the pencils in the 1″ cello bags and decorated them with a pretty little bow and added a Reindeer tag (Seasonal Chums stamp set and dies).
For the 2″ Cello bags I added a 1-7/8″x 7-7/8″ strip of Emerald Envy cardstock and added 5 pencils. I sealed the top of the bag with some silver glitter washi tape that I had and added an Emerald Envy bow.
You could make these for someone’s Birthday or to sell at Craft Fairs so with that in mind I thought the A Little Gift For You would be perfect. I layered the sentiment onto a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper to match the washi tape.
I hope you have enjoyed todays project. I have worked out the approximate cost of making 4 of these, you will have cardstock and ribbon left over. The more you make the cheaper the unit price will be.
Cost of making four 2″ x 8″ cello bags
4 x Cello Bags = 22p
Pack of 20 Pencils = £1
Cardstock = approx. 50p
Ribbon = 60p
Total Cost for 4 = £2.32
