Treat Bags For Any Occasion

Hi, it's Izzy Anderson from Write, Snap, Scrap here on the Trendy Twine blog today with some owl treat bags. These are one of my favorite things to make. They're easy, don’t require fancy tools and are always a hit with recipients.  I used these as holiday gifts for teachers and staff, but the sentiment can be changed to fit any occasion. You can find the treat bag tutorial on my blog.

To make the owl's eyes, I punched two large circles from cardstock, covered them with adhesive, then added twine and googly eyes.  I used Trendy Twine in Holly (green) and Holly Berry (green/red mix).  

You have just a few more days to join our monthly challenge. It's easy to play and there's a great prize up for grabs! You can find all the details on this post.

Trendy Gift Card Holder

Hello, Trendy Twiners! It's Jessi from Kissin' Krafts. Hope you are enjoying this holiday season! Are you done shopping yet? Are you giving any gift cards to the ones you love? If so, why not present the gift card in a fun, creative way?

I am so excited to share this Trendy Twine project with you today! I have fallen in love with the altered Altoid tins that I have been seeing on Pinterest and had to give it a try! Especially when I saw that a gift card fits perfectly inside!

So here is the tin that I made using Trendy Twine's Candy Cane:

I am addicted and so happy that my Dad loves Altoids (means I have several empty tins laying around)! I will be creating more tins soon!

Whooooo Wants A Treat?!

Hi everyone.  It's Izzy Anderson here on the blog today. I am so enjoying all the cute Halloween posts this month.  The design team is spotlighting orange licorice, a fun mix of orange and black.

Here's my project. No tricks, just treats. 

I have a tutorial on my blog, Write Snap Scrap, on how to make this owl treat bag.  It's fast and easy to do.

We'd love to have you join our Trendy Twine challenge this month and there's a great prize up for grabs.  You can find all the details on this post.

Paper Pinwheels

Hi, it’s Izzy Anderson here with the Trendy Twine design team. I have a fun and easy summer project: pinwheels and paper flowers.

We’re using Berry Red Twine this month, which is a great versatile color to use all year long. To me, pinwheels just scream summer fun and they are really easy to make. To make a pinwheel, all you need is a square of double-sided patterned paper, your favorite twine (Trendy, of course!), glue and some sort of stick or dowel. You can find full project instructions and additional photos on my blog at Write Snap Scrap.

I paired the pinwheel with several flowers made from paper and chipboard for a fun and festive summer centerpiece. I used Berry Red twine in the pinwheel center and for the button bow and I used Twisted Lime for the veins of the leaves.

We’d love to see what you’re making with Trendy Twine. Just jump right into our July challenge here. It’s easy to enter and fun to win! You can find all the details on the Trendy Twine blog.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
