Don't Leave Your Bread Bare!

From Adriel:

Check out these cute mini bread loaf sleeves that we recently added in our Etsy shop! So cute, right? =)

We made a bunch of these for last weekend's craft show that didn't go so well... oh well! Our Etsy shop always has room for more! =)

We used high quality cardstock from Stampin' Up!. We had some holiday printed paper that we had bought last year in a stack and the prints worked great for these sleeves. The tags we included on each of these sleeves features stamped images from the Hostess set "Snow Buddies" that's available right now in the Holiday Mini Catalog. I watercolored the snowflakes by hand and they're also stamped on the back with a "to / from" stamp.

This set of 6 mini loaf sleeves is available right now in our Etsy shop HERE! Don't leave your bread bare this coming season of giving! Your bread is begging to be cute! =)

Mini Bread Sleeves

From Heidi...

I thought I'd post the mini bread sleeves I made this week. Adriel originally came up with this cute bread sleeve idea. She made several for the craft fairs we did last month.

I made mini pumpkin bread loaves to give to my neighbors for Christmas and thought that a mini bread sleeve would be a cute way to package them. We resized the larger bread sleeves and came up with this one.

Here are the dimensions, if anyone else would like to make some for the holidays. These fit a 3x5 mini bread loaf.

4.25x11 cardstock, decorative paper (optional), sticky strip or adhesive

1 - Starting at one of the long ends, score at 7/8", 2-1/4", 4-1/4", 6-3/4", 8-3/4", 10-1/8"

2 - Fold at scores to form a box except for the scores at 7/8" and 10-1/8", fold those in the opposite direction to form a handle, as seen in the picture.

3 - Glue decorative paper strips to sides, if desired.

4 - Glue or sticky strip the 7/8" handles together.

5- Punch a hole in the middle of the handle and tie a ribbon or add a decorative tag.

6 - Insert your wrapped bread loaf! Very easy!
