PIN IT FRIDAY FAVS: The Very Best of Recent Pinterest Pins

GIFT CARD HOLDERS
     I needed a quick and easy gift card holder and found this wonderful idea on Pinterest...

Original Pin HERE

...but when I clicked on the pin to take me to the site for exact measurements, the instructions were in another language...so...I looked closely in the picture and figured out what measurements were needed and modified the final size for the gift card I made. Here are my measurements and instructions:

When closing the gift card holder, the center of the

left side fits between the notches on the right side.

A sticker is needed across the seam to hold it closed

...and here is one of several gift card holders I've made:

I purchase decorative stickers in circles and squares/diamonds

from Staples in their wedding invitation section!

VERSATILE VALENTINE BOXES WITH TREAT BAG:
AKA Half Sheet Boxes/Bags

I've got all of my Valentine treats done already, but here's a wonderful (and easy) Valentine's Day idea with a how-to video from Frenchie that I'm going to modify for Easter!

ORIGINAL PIN HERE

The measurements are below along with the video:

BOX:

5 1/2" x 8 1/2" card stock

Score along the 8 1/2" side at:

1 1/2", 4", 5 1/2" and 8"

Score along the 5 1/2" side at 1 1/4"

CANDY WRAPPER:

1" x 3" lightweight DSP

To complete the treat bag insert for this box, place four Hershey's Nuggets into a clear envelope bag, bring the sides of envelope together, adhere with a glue dot or two and tie the bag with a ribbon at the top.

Here's my version for a birthday:

Fold the right side over onto the left side as demonstrated in the video, then I folded the small flaps in, the flap with the glue dots on top of that and finished with the flap with the two strips of sticky tape. 

THANK YOU, FRENCHIE!
