For our annual Hannukah family gift exchange I made felt, embroidered coasters. Since this is not an exceptionally exciting gift, although I love them and am planning some with a Christmas motif for my mother-in-law and possibly myself, we decided to do some creative wrapping up of them:
First we rolled them up....
S - t -r - e - t - c - h....
Put the coaster in.....
Push it all the way in there .....
Blow up the balloon (it was a challenge to get it in there!)
Oldest makes a box for the gift table.....
Message in the top of the box .....
Cousin who picked the smallest box on the table .....
Uses the pin to pop the balloons - 8 balloons for 8 coasters!!
The finished coasters (I couldn't get this picture to go the right way)
The backs - 4 were in the bright blue and 4 were in the country blue. The coasters were a big hit, but the wrapping was the best!!
