DIY Thank Yous




I have been creating most of my own thank you notes for a few years now.  Usually I download free clip art and a fun font to create a little insignia for the Nugget.  This time, I opted for a more hands-on approach.  Here's a quick tutorial for the easy bunting thank you's I made for the Nugget's purple party.

The supplies:
1 sheet purple polka dotted scrapbook paper.  (would also be cute with 2 or 4 different patterns that coordinate with your party)
white cardstock
A2 envelopes (I use the 40% off coupon at JoAnn's)
glue stick
glitter gel pen
paper cutter
scissors

1.  I sliced the cardstock into quarters.
2.  Then I cut a 1" strip of purple paper.  Using scissors, I snipped the strip into triangles to make the pennants.
3.  I glued 4 pennants in a semicircle and used the gel pen to make the "string".  I also wrote a "4" in the center of each pennant, per Grammy's expert crafting advice.  Grammy also had the (too late) suggestion to make 2 loops of bunting, which would have been cuter.  Next time!
4.  We printed wallet sized photos of Nugget and Cabbage to tuck into each thank you.

If you want to go the extra mile, you can buy extra scrapbook paper, and line the envelopes.
