Easter Gifts

Well I finally started working on our Easter gifts last night. I am purposefully trying to reduce the amount of chocolate that we get and give as I am one of five girls and WH is one of four children and we all get together at some stage over the Holidays and exchange gifts. This generally results in enough chocolate to last us through to Christmas (or close enough). The last couple of years I have tried to make my gifts smaller but more meaningful by making a part of the gift. This year I found a great template posted by Maddie at Li'l Magoolie, if you haven't ever visited I highly recommend it. Maddie has a really fun blog with great ideas. Anyway her gift to us was a down loadable template for these great baskets and I decided to take advantage of her generosity and use her template (with slight modifications) and get started on our Easter gifts for this year.
My supplies:
Scrapbook paper
Ribbon
Chocolate for the gifts and a little for me!
(it was a long day yesterday and I couldn't keep going last night without some help)
Scissors, tags, texta, ruler This is what the paper looks like after cutting the template out.
I managed to save some chocolate for gifting to others
Fold up the sides to create a square pyramid
Tie with a ribbon and add a gift tag. Voila! Easter gifts sorted
(OK I am less than half done but I will finish the rest tonight! Gifts, not chocolate!)
Hopefully the recipients will like them! I can vouch for the chocolate eggs, they're good!
