Since we are making Christmas less about buying and more about personalising gifts and I used these to make personalised decorations for friends and family. I wrap them up in some chiffon fabric (€1.00 in Lidl for a good sized sheet) and tie with a ribbon.
The rings I painted various colours with matchpots I found in Woodies for 10 cent each (so the whole tub I have cost €1.80), the rings I have spare because I prefer tab top curtains (less fiddly than curtain hooks and such), the ribbon I have in my craft supplies much of which was gifted to me by the most generous fellow JT'er (Raisincake - THANKS A BILLION my dear friend :o)).
We spent some time together doing crafty gifts the other day and had the best time with the kids :o)
I wrote each person's name on the front and wrote out Merry Christmas on some, a scripture verse on others. The one's my daughter asked me to make for her friends in 1st year seem to have gone down a treat and they all wanted to know where she bought them and how she could possibly have found ones with their nicknames on. Hope you like.
