Back-to-School time is on the horizon for us and I am attempting to get organized! This year I would like to bring a little something special to my girls’ teachers for the first day of school. What fits the bill better than apples? Apples that are in a cute basket with these super cute personalized Stitched Notebook Paper Tags attached! I am all about the lovely little details!
Here is how I made these adorable Stitched Notebook Paper Tags…
Supplies:
2” by 3” rectangle of white card stock Red, White, and Blue Thread Black and White Bakers Twine Sewing Machine Letter Stickers Hole Punch
Before we get started, you should know that I used the white thread underneath for all of the stitches. I then threaded my machine with the blue thread and stitched two blue lines across the bottom and clipped the excess. Super duper easy!
Now you will thread your machine again and this time with the red thread. Sew one line from top to bottom and clip the excess thread. Then, you will use your hole punch in the upper left hand corner.
Now you can either hand write your teacher’s name or use some letter stickers. I got mine from Wal-Mart. To finish up, thread your bakers twine through the hole and attach to the handle of the basket. That is all!
Be sure and check out our Apple Basket Pennant Garland to complement this little gift idea!
If you love apples as much as we do, hop on over and grab your Free Printable Gift Wrap and Mini Thank You Notes! Perfect for Teacher Appreciation…
