While digging in a cupboard I ran across these heart shaped tins I had bought a while back. I had gotten them at Oriental Trading and they still carry them. Click here for the link to them.
I ran some tape along the outside bottom part of the tin and then added the red satin ribbon. But that wasn't enough dressing up for me. I took the small flower punch and punched out a bunch of Pretty in Pink flowers and took my stylus on top of a foam mat and rolled it around the center of the flowers until they curled up. I put a glue dot on the top of the heart lid and stuck three flowers to each one. Then I took my gel pen and colored in the centers. I was going to add some green leaves to the flowers but decided to just leave them as they were.
I will be adding one of these to the basket I'm putting together for a friend. I think I only need a couple more items and the basket will be full enough!
Oh, when I added the Red Hots I did put them in a little baggie. I wasn't sure if the lid to the heart would stay in place and I didn't want the candies spilling out all over the place. Plus I don't like the idea of just dumping the candies into something like that. I always feel they should be in something a bit more sanitary!
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
Wanda
