Pretty Packages: Peppermint and Lace Theme

WOO HOO! I get to show you my first packaging idea of the season! This one is my favorite combination and the colors feel festive and happy!

I have bestowed my pretty packages with a theme I like to call Peppermint & Lace which inspired my... 

CHRISTMAS BLOG MAKEOVER! 

 I already decorated around here...can you stand it? 

My precious friend Amy who did my original design...more then came through for me on this one.  When I came to her with an idea, she literally wowed me once again with her fabulous, "perfect for me" style.  

I could not be more smitten with it...or her! Thanks sweet Amy!

Over the next few months I hope to share different styles and ideas of packaging with you since packaging happens to be one of my heart loves.  Don't you think a pretty package is like getting an extra special treat in addition to the goody inside? And who does not need fun wrapping ideas and other Christmas craft inspiration? 

I DO! I DO!

Now let's talk packaging!

First up...this little bag is made from waxed tissue paper. Does it look familiar to some of you?  Yep...I wrapped the deli sandwiches in this for my girl's picnic party and I decided to craft up the leftovers.

Add some bakers twine and stuff it with a little doily...

you got yourself the cutest little bag in the whole wide world.

This little ruffle bow was made with polka dot wrapping paper and the striped wax paper.  I decoupaged a little wood bead with it and wrapped it around the box several times with baker's twine.

This little box is probably my favorite.  

I decoupaged a button this time and used the twine for this simple wrap job.  And I added a little lace flag as an embellishment. 

Oh and the box?  I spray painted the blue snowman cookie tin white.  Perfection.

Hello there little white lunch bag!  Who would have thought a humble white bag could get so much love and attention, right?  The top is just folded over with a piece of wrapping paper and clipped closed with two mini clothespins holding a twine bow. I added a little square of scrapbook paper with a glue stick to make a pocket and stuffed it with lace and added a white yarn pom pom on a lollipop stick wrapped with twine. 

 The end of the twine holds a little wooden spool. 

Here's a little bunting I made to wrap around a larger gift like a shirt box made from twine, red felt, the striped wax paper, and lace.  I just adore it!

I would love to hear what you guys think of this themed packaging!

Other packaging styles and ideas to come...

HUGS & Smiles!!
