Christmas take-out...

As promised, a quick post about the table gifts I have made for Christmas this year.  I had a bee in my bonnet about Chinese take-out boxes and found a template on the internet here.  Enlarged it so it was big enough to for my gifts to fit in, then cut it out of glittery paper.  I made some name labels using photos from my library to go with the flowers I have ordered for Christmas and after filling up with goodies (including a fortune cookie!), tied it up with bits of wool from my stash.





Gold for the grown ups...


...and red for the children who will be on their own table...



Do you recognise the mushroom, Julie and Val?  I knew I'd find a good use for them!
