At .25 cents per Vday box, 20 kids in her class, I can give out these gifts for a total of $5. My kind of budget! I simply
ran green cardstock through the CB with the swirls folder, then attached a stem to the bottom. I would add bling to it but I have a feeling its life span will be all of 30 seconds once they're in the kids' hands. ;)Thank you for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments! Have a great day~
