New Ideas

Hi all!!!  Well, it is a we, cold dreary Tuesday here--great time to get some new ideas rolling!!!! A friend recently put some ideas in my head and I have been browsing youtube to get some patterns and I think I have a couple good ones. She suggested some type of teabag/hot cocoa holder that can be paired up with a mug  for a great teacher/thank you gift--or just something to say "Thinking of you". S0---below is a template--always do that first before playing with the "nice" paper---of 2 different holders while closed.......                         

                                     .....The picture below on the right shows them both open. They will both hold a Ghiradelli chocolate square as well as a tea bag in case the recipient doesn't drink tea. 
                                                                                                 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                These are 2 hot cocoa package holders--closed, I know they are not much to look at--but when I make the "real" ones they will be nicely decorated....                                  








                                                                                      ......here they are open. The one on the left can hold two packets,or one packet and maybe a nice note. The one on the right is a "matchbook" style that will just hold one packet. I don't have any in the house, but since they are pretty much the same size, they could hold an instant soup/cup a soup packet for someone not feeling well.  Those are my new ideas for some cute gifts!!!! Would love to hear what you think of them and/or ideas to make them better. Thanks!!!!!
