33 Beautiful Things You Can Make With Food Coloring. Perfect for gifts. Sobres. 18K+ Well I got this idea from our friend Nina. She was making these super cute envelopes out of scrapbook paper and I really wanted to make some! So I came home and made some! They are so so SO simple and add a personal touch to your envelopes. You will need: An old magazine, scissors, an envelope, a glue stick and a Sharpie. Tear out some magazine pages that you like. Carefully pull the envelope apart. Trace the envelope on a magazine page. Cut the envelope shape out. Turn the envelope over as well as the magazine cut-out. Unfold everything and separate the magazine cut-out from the envelope. Glue the bottom flap down to the two side flaps.
And you've made your own envelope! The great thing about making these envelopes our of magazine pages is that the envelopes have a character all of their own. Para regalos!! Idea para carta. This guest post on making a button tree is from Diane Payne. She has an awesome tutorial on how to turn hundreds of buttons into some adorable Christmas home decor! Hello everyone! I’m Diane Payne and I’m so excited to be here sharing a tutorial using buttons, lots of buttons!
I must admit, I love buttons and I always have. In fact, there was a time when I didn’t complete a layout that didn’t include them. However, things change and I found I wasn’t using them as much anymore and was actually thinking about getting rid of some. One day while surfing the internet I discovered a design made using buttons which sent me running for my neglected stash. Let’s get started… To make my Christmas tree I used a variety of things I already had in my stash, with the exception of the frame, which I purchased. I am a big advocate of using what you have on hand so feel free to make substitutions, based on the supplies in your stash. Now we’re ready to start painting the background for the canvas.

When I bought something at a store recently, the clerk handed me my purchase in a bag made from a newspaper. I liked it very much and had to make some more—thus today's DIY recycled newspaper project: gift bags made from the Wall Street Journal. You can vary the dimensions, of course, but here's what I used to create a bag that's 5" tall, 4.5" wide, and 3" deep. Stack two sheets of newspaper on top of each other. This will be a two-ply bag for extra sturdiness. Cut out a rectangle that's 15.5" wide and 8.25" tall. Fold a flap 1.25" down from the top. Cut two pieces of cardstock or chipboard to 4.25" x 1", then glue them on the widest two panels just under the top fold. Put glue on the outside of the 0.5" tab and bring the left-most panel over to form the body of the bag, aligning the cut edge of the panel with the folded edge of the flap. Upend the bag so the 2" flap is now up. Put glue on both flaps and fold them inward to form the bottom of the bag.
