The cookies were a gift, hence I wanted to bundle them inwards a actually particular way.

I used to alive less than a mile from Paper-Source making it all to slow to run in addition to instruct whatever supplies I needed on a whim.  In fact, my brainstorming unremarkably started amongst a trip to the store.  In our novel location, Paper-Source is a 35 infinitesimal automobile ride in addition to parking disaster way, hence I am forced to live to a greater extent than creative amongst what I have.  I'm e'er upwards for a challenge.

Maybe this challenge wasn't actually that much of a challenge... I bring a pretty extensive collection of crafting materials.  From my years of marriage in addition to termination planning, I accumulated piles of "extras" - ribbons, papers, labels, etc. from Paper Source.

Supplies

Circle Labels
I made custom labels from these 4-inch kraft newspaper circle adhesive labels from Paper-Source.  I printed my logo on the bottom one-half of each label. 

Cellophane Bags

I had these cellophane bags (large size) leftover from my ain marriage favors.  I alone role cellophane bags that are 'crunchy.'  The soft plastic bags are non every bit attractive. 


Double-Faced Satin Ribbon
I e'er bring a large collection of double-faced satin ribbon.  At paper-souce.com you lot tin instruct whatsoever colouring inwards whatsoever complete in addition to size.  I experience similar I tin brand anything expect skillful if I bring some ribbon - I fifty-fifty hold it inwards the automobile amongst a pair of pair of scissors hence I tin brand an impromptu gift out of anything.

I cutting a petty slice of ribbon amongst a bird's nib on i end.

Place the ribbon on the dorsum of the adhesive label hence it centered in addition to hangs nether the type on the front end of the label. 

Fold downwardly the purse to a brace of inches higher upwards the cookies. 

Place the label amongst the ribbon on the front end of the bag. 

Flip it over in addition to flexure the label to the back.

You tin easily make your ain label amongst the get upwards of the cookie in addition to "made by..." or "made amongst love..." on the bottom.  Does anyone require a label made?  I'd honey to brand a template for you!

To bundle the cookies, I used :

Here is the printed recipe on a Blue Bell (Paper-Source) newspaper that matched the bluish ribbon in addition to text on the label.  I also printed my logo at the run past times of a stationery menu on which to write a personal banking concern complaint of thanks. 

I loaded the box amongst the kraft newspaper krinkles. 

The cookies went inwards next, in addition to hence the recipe menu in addition to note.  I position some other layer of kraft krinkles packing on run past times to brand certain the cookies didn't bring whatsoever room to motion around during shipping.
