Crafting for Christmas 2009, let's begin again.......

Just did my first tea bag holder :T Probably not done it the right way but it looks ok.
I folded some card in half (third of A4 size),
folded in the edges and glued them down on half of it
folded a bit at the top part to give a sort of border, folded it up and stuck the other edges on the outside. Punched a hole in the top and threaded some ribbon through it and tied it in a bow.
Hope that makes sense...........:rotfl:

Might have another go at sons pile of 'Bryn rocks' pebbles............played with it last night and was using super glue -nearly stuck myself together.........:eek:
Got a drum to fix on and not sure how to do it......the only sort I could get was a badge with a pin sticking out of the back -blue tak might help if I had some

Might have to do something else instead.........

Thats sounds great Mary, have you got any pics of it:D Your's sounds a lot more technical than mine:D I basically looked at some instructions then totally ignored them and did my own thing:p Not the best way to do things but I am the worlds worst at measuring and have very little patience:rolleyes:

stardrops - thanks .......can't show a piccie as I don;t have a digi camera but basically its a piece of card folded in half with the edges folded over before its stuck together.
I've looked at the various links and there seem to be a lot of different ways to do these so there's no hard and fast rule as far as I can tell.

They'd make nice little holders for free samples as well............come to think of it, I got some of the freebie board I was keeping for my friend (anti -wrinkle and all that sort) might pop them in one of these holders -makes them look more than they are they way.
Just have to delve into the spare room and find them:eek:

I think I might make some of them for my work colleagues, would be a nice extra to a Christmas card without the need to spend too much!
Thanks for the ideas people!
