At Christmas I had picked up some mini loaf pans on clearance at Michaels for 50 cents each! I hope they have them again this year because they are perfect! I bought the plain ones (white & red) so that I could decorate them myself and use them any time of the year and not just at Christmas time.
So, when the bread was done, this is how I decorated up the gifts to take to the neighbors (I made 6 of these).
I used some patterned paper that I've had in my stash for years. The tag was simple to make! The frame is from Fillable Frames #5. I stamped the outline image in a blue palette ink. The fun flowers are from the Boxes, Bags & Tag set and I stamped them in Champagne VersaMark ink.
As you can see, I punched a hole in the bottom of each frame image and ran my ribbon through the hole so it would go behind the tag and then tied a bow at the top. I thought that these turned out pretty cute and the neighbors seemed to really enjoy receiving them (and eating them too)!
Thanks for stopping by today!

These are adorable! What a great gift! I have loads of bananas in my freezer right now and this would be such a fun thing to do! I love the tag too! The way you decorated them is so pretty! (If you find any of those at Michael's this year let me know! I want some too!) :)
ReplyDeleteYum...yum!! I LOVE banana bread...in fact I have some nanas sitting upstairs begging to be made into bread! Your tags are perfect! I need to get the FF out more and use them!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute, Jen! What a thoughtful way to share your creativity (and baking skills!) with your neighbors!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet are you and how great your neighbors must have felt when you showed up with that little treat!! I am all about some banana bread ....... I make it almost every week for the kiddies. Whenever I find bananas that are ripe and CHEAP I buy a ton and then mash and freeze them in small containers so when I want to make it I can just take out them out and I am ready to go in no time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift! I love how you packaged up the loaves. I made four loaves of banana bread myself last weekend. My freezer was overflowing with bananas, so decided I'd better do something about it! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI got some of the loaf pans at Michael's, too! I wanted to get more but didn't ever make it back up there in time. What a thoughtful gift. I am definitely going to keep this in mind. I have a few neighbors that I think would really enjoy a gift like this! Thank you for sharing your idea!
