I created these simply stamped linen pouches for gift giving with just 5 supplies I had on hand and you can too!
With Easter just around the corner and back to back trips from Chicago to Dallas to California this month and I needed to pull together gifts for Easter quickly and without spending a lot of money! Luckily, I’ve been saving a few natural bath and body items I’ve made for gifts.
I made several tubes of Softening Chamomile Lip Balm in preparation for Easter two weeks ago. Today, I had to test out a recipe for Willow Sage Magazine. I can’t say what it is yet, but it had a wonderful aroma from rose absolute essential oil and sweet orange essential oil.
I added each natural skincare treat to a stamped linen pouch and I was ready for Easter… that is after filling my baby girl’s Easter basket with so many things they wouldn’t fit. First-time mom moves of course!

Thanks Lillian, they make great gift wrap for a lot of things!
Really cute idea. I thought you would have to print on the fabric, but I like this idea much better. Thanks for sharing. You’re so creative and love visiting your blog. 🙂
You are such a sweetheart, yes stamping is way easier than printing on fabric!
