Halloween is creeping closer. Are you getting ready with tricks & treats?
I love sending my son to school with small gifts for the holidays. For example, how about these cute pencil toppers? This gift is easy, inexpensive & versatile. Simply switch out the pencils & stamp set using another theme & you're good to go.
- Pencils = 10 cents a piece (10 for $1.00)
- Cello bags = 5 cents a piece
- Stamps, Ink, Paper & Punches already on hand = FREE
- TOTAL COST OF GIFT = 15 cents each
These new 1" x 8" cellophane bags are available in the 2011 Holiday Mini Catalog. They are perfect for filling with a row of treats, a pencil, or anything! Add a tag or topper you've created using any punch or Big Shot die. Adhesive on top keeps everything inside. 50 bags per package.

Cute idea! Did you sandwich the bag between 2 layers of the crumb cake or is the bag just stapled to the back of the crumb cake piece? thanks...

Hi Candy
The cello bags have a small strip of adhesive. So, I secured the bag closed first.
Then, I did two layers of crumb cake cardstock sandwiched together with Snail adhesive. :)
