Merry go round

Every last friday of the month, I jump on the 'Merry go round'. What is the Merry go round exactly? Each month, a group of craftswomen from around the world join together and give their reponses to the same question/challenge. Since I forgot to post last Friday, I post the first Friday of this month! :)

This month's topic is "write a simple tutorial on anything - craft related or not"
Oops, a tutorial? That's been a while hey!
To be quite honest, time has not been on my side to make 'em as often as I used too.
And even for this one, it is nothing really spectacular as I kind of forgot about this post and I got reminded on Tuesday evening. So on wednesday before leaving to Holland I decided to quickly snap a few pics and edit them later. They didn't turn out really well so you'll have to forgive me for the bad quality I'm afraid.

How to make a quick & fun packaging idea?

What do you need?
Brads, handmade paper, paper, punch, water, needle, brown paper bags and a brush.

Punch out a flower.

Take a piece of handmade paper and apply with a brush some water along a ruler.

The water makes it easier to tear the paper and you get the lovely handmade look afterwards.

Fold it over on the paper bag, add the flower and punch a hole with a needle.

Then use the brad to close it.

Pretty easy and fun packaging.
