Gift Bags and Favor Bags

I have come to the realization that paper is my creative medium. I like working with paper much more than I like working with thread or fabric or yarn or wood or clay or anything like that.

Here are some origami bags that I have folded and that I had/have the intention of selling. They are the perfect size for a gift card or any other small gift. I also make a smaller version that is perfect for a party favor. I use all kinds of themed papers for holidays and also for special events like a baby shower, wedding etc. I would love to hear what you think of these!

Below are some samples of colors/patterns. I can make bags to match any specific theme; as long as the paper can be found then I can make them. :)
The large bags are approximately 4.25 inches wide, 3.5 inches tall and 1.75 inches deep. The small bags are approximately 2 inches wide, 2 inches tall and 0.75 inches deep.  All of the bags can have ribbons, adornments or tissue paper added to them.  



Birthday Creations - Birthday Sign

I usually make some kind of "Happy Birthday" sign for my kids each year for their special day. I generally cut out shapes, cut out the letters and assemble it like a banner. However, this year I decided to utilize the wrapped picture frames from my Christmas party to make my daughter's 3rd birthday sign. I simply took the ribbons off and added colorful letters that I drew by hand and cut out of various scrapbook paper. 

Christmas Creations - Hot Chocolate Party

Even though I know that Christmas is over with and it is a long time until next Christmas I am going to post a few creations I made for a cookies and hot chocolate party I threw last year. Pardon the quality of the pictures as I am still learning the picture taking skill.
