I really believe that the best gifts are homemade. Not only are homemade gifts more thoughtful, but they’re usually pretty inexpensive, too. It’s the best of both worlds.
With all this talk of back to school , and pencil cases , surely we shouldn't forget something pretty fabulous to put inside! Without further ado: These are a simple and gratifying DIY. We've turned again to our 5x7" Washi Paper Packs for inspiration and come up with a perfect companion project to our Japanese Paper Dolls !
