Thriftary Giftary: Day 3

Moving right along folks... I thought today, being hump day and all, we could do a miscellaneous gathering of gifts... all celebrating our march towards fall! I have ripped off the one and only Martha Stewart here, because I think her tutorials are just perfect and easy to follow. Plus, she always gives templates to use, which are like my crack (the drug... not my butt)

Here they are!

HERE are the directions.

This thrifty project comes complete with the template to create these nifty little oak-leaves.

The best part, I think, is that you can make multiple leaves (as shown above) and wrap them with some twine to give as a beautiful decoration... OR you can make a large one and fill it with someone's favorite candy, seasonal thumbtacs for the office... etc.... so it can be a great gift for someone who is just an acquaintence as well!!!

HERE are the directions.

I dont know ANYONE in the whole world who wouldn't be impressed if you MADE them their very own slippers. These suckers would be an incredible gift for mom, MIL, sister, coworker, non-lingerie shower (or lingerie shower if you are anti-sexy), and or any of your male friends who happen to have a thing for slippers. You decide!

HERE are the directions.

The thing I love most about this giftary, is that you can add to it. I love when you can purchase something for cheap, and then make a personalized item to go with it. That's a true "wham bam thank you ma'am." So for these, why not head to your nearest antique store, pick up some ecclectic but coordinating tea cups and saucers, and then make a cute pair of tea towels? If you are a coffee lover, then obviously, these could be used for that purpose as well :) Nothing screams

FALLLLLLLLL!

Like coffee and tea.

At least for me.

Tee Hee Hee

OK I'm done.

So ther it is! the fall lineup!

Cheers,

Mrs. Thriftary
