So the next common item that went into the favor bag was pens/pencils and ofcourse they had to have a handmade feel. My client didn’t want the plain store bought ones. And can you imagine, this became the most challenging tasks of all. I was clueless as to what to do 😀
I tried a couple of things (pattern paper, masking tape, etc) which didn’t work out for me before I had my light bulb moment in the middle of the night 🙂
And so here’s what I did. I took these boring black and grey pencils,
And turned them into these bright and cheerful ones with a felt topper to keep their tips cozy 😀
And here are my cute little felt toppers. They just make me happy 😀
I wrapped the pencils with some fun kids print tape that I received as part of my birthday present from Tejal last year. All the felt toppers are hand-stitched 🙂
This is one of my favorite items in the favor bags! Will be back again soon with the next one!
See ya soon!
