Girly gift for $20.00

Here is a lovely girly gift created to bring pleasure and still look pretty.
you will need:
3 vanilla tealight candles in glass holders
1 organza bag
1 pretty flower
3 small vellum flower stickers
1 large vellum flower sticker
3 self sticking rhinestones
some paper
1 small bar of vegetable soap
1 small paper mache bag
some ribbon
a small piece of matching fabric
clear wrap


ensure the candle holders are clean and dry and paste the vellum flowers onto the surface
add the rhinestone to the centre of the flower on each holder
I used paper between each candle to stack them. Then paced a strip of paper with sticky ribbon to hold them in place.
carefully secure the flower to the organza bag and place candles inside.


I painted the paper mache bag gold and stuck the flower on to it once it was dry. Wrap the soap in the fabric and place inside the bag
Using a secure base (like a heavy stock card) place the items onto the card and wrap in clear wrapping.
This gift cost less than $20 since I already had a few items.
It looks pretty and is very cost effective. In total it took me 32 minutes to put together including painting and drying the bag.
Enjoy...
