I nearly forgot that today is the last day of gymnastics for the year for my kids!! That means we need end-of-year thank you gifts for coaches, and fast.
I ordered these cute mini Chinese food takeout boxes from Limelight Papercrafts a few months ago (just 25 cents each!). I still hadn't figured out how to make the handles for these boxes when I read today's Ways to Use It challenge WT275, Raving on Ribbon. Aha!! Ribbon is the answer!!
These 3 boxes will be for my 7YO son's three coaches. I stamped various thank yous on the plain white boxes, attached cool patterned grosgrain ribbon for handles, and filled them with M&Ms. My son will help me make gift tags for these after school, and then it's off to gymnastics!!
Thanks for looking!
Emily

What a great idea....Chinese take out boxes with ribbon handles. You are just so clever. Love these and am sure the coaches will too. TFS :0)
