Can someone message me if they have the hangover kit stick people? I can't open the attachments yet, but I need them for my kit. I can send my email... HELP!

Great job on these!

I am still collecting items and personalizing them for my tote bags to give to my wedding travelers! Each person will get a personalized mug - these I purchased for $4 and had someone personalize for me for $6 = $10 each (most expensive item). I just added a tag with words on it, and tied it up with a little ribbon. Hand Sanitizer - I bought these two for a dollar at the Dollar Tree, bought 2x4 clear shipping labels on clearance at Target for $2.24, tore the labels off the sanitizer, used goo gone to get the excess residue off, use Microsoft Word to print two sanitizer labels on each one shipping label, cut them in half, and slapped them on. I added a bow for festiveness! Swag Bags - I bought these totes at Walmart 3/$4.50 on clearance. Paid $10 at Office Max for the iron on, designed it in Publisher, sized it and printed it off. After following the iron on directions, it took me 1 hour to do 9 bags. I added last names at the last minute. Tissues - My FI is a pitcher, and a baseball coach, so as a nod to him, I found some cute baseball tissues, and used a saying from Yogi Berra. Tums - I got these at Big Lots 3/$1. I just designed a label in Word, and printed it on regular mailing labels. I trimmed up the ends, and slapped it on the packaging. These will be part of a bigger Hangover kit.

So cute!

To add to my swag bags for Jamaica, I went to the Dollar Tree, bought chapsticks two for a dollar. Supplies and directions are as follows (1 hour project): Dollar Tree Chapsticks (2/$1) Clear Packing Tape Printer Adhesive (scrapbook type) Peel label off chapstick Print a homemade label off on regular computer paper Use packing tape over the top so it doesn't bleed later on. Also leave enough excess tape at top and bottom to adhere to chapstick container Use scrapbook adhesive on the back of the paper to adhere it well to the chapstick labels. Roll it all the way around the chapstick container. All done!

Thank you!

We actually used packing tape right under the handle and on the backside, took them to the post office, and sent them off! I still get rave reviews about them.

Thank you, this is very helpful! sanitizerlabels1.ppt

I used one piece of packing tape on the back to seal them and took them to the post office to be delivered!

Directions Below: We have finally set the date, so I am just starting on my save the dates. I found a great deal on the bottles at Party City. They are currently clearancing out their summer invitations at 75% off, so I was able to get these "6 packs" of bottles at $3.24. That means each bottle was $.54 each! They come with the following: 6 Invitations 6 red ribbons (for fastening your invitation) Sand with a min lei Bottle & Cork Labels for mailing I got rid of the lei, invitation, mailing label and red ribbon. Instead, I left the sand, added shells, ribbon, a custom invite and a label. 60 invites Message: I created it in power point (power point allows you to rotate/recolor/edit) by inserting different text boxes, changing the font and moving them around. I inserted graphics that were existing in PP and recolored them to black/white to go with the simplicity of it. Sometimes I would move items to the background if need be. Once everything is where you want it, you can take the arrow, highlight it all, right click and scroll to grouping, group. This will make it all one big graphic and you can copy and paste it, resize etc. I did landscape and fit two per page. I printed it on 65lb. cardstock that had fiber flecks for added detail. ($12 Office Max for 100 Sheets) I cut them apart with a paper cutter. Putting Message in the bottle & "save the date" tag: I cut 60 pieces of turquoise ribbon (2 rolls for $.35 each at JoAnn Fabrics) I rolled each message with a pencil, took the pencil out, tied it with ribbon, while inserting the "save the date" tag (Office Max 2 packages of 100 shipping tags $6.29) then tying ribbon in a knot. Next stamped (borrowed these from a coworker, but you can get them at hobby lobby for under $13 & inkpad was $5 at Hobby Lobby) the tag with SAVE THE DATE! The tag will help your guests pull the message out of the bottle. Bottle: I used a coat hanger to get all the leis out of the bottles and added shells. (Got some at hobby lobby for $4 and have plenty left, the sand dollars and starfish I ordered at qualityshells.com 100 of each for $20 total) I then added some coconut oil on each cork ($3 at Michaels). I wrapped some cord (Michaels $6) around the neck of each bottle secured with glue gun and glued on a starfish. I bought some round labels (Gartner labels - Michaels 2 for $6 each for 40 labels & are horrible if you can pick other ones, I would) made the design I wanted and printed them out. **Note: I printed these incorrectly so many times because the templates they give you are not generic enough to edit, and a plain one does not give you an outline so you know where your text is going to fit on it.** I then put the labels on the center of the bottle (easiest part of making these). Now you can drop the "messages inside your bottle cork them and leave the tag hanging out. Luggage: I ordered boxes online (Ebay, 9x3x3 $27), purchased ribbon (Michaels 9 rolls at $1.99 each), and foam for handle (Michaels 1 sheet $2). I had FI fold the boxes, I cut the foam in 1' strips and then in 1/3rds. I glued the edge of each foam to the center of the box, then I wrapped the ribbon around the box following a glue gun stripe and over the edge of the foam. I used a knife to cut small slits through the ribbon, foam and box and then inserted the gold brads (Office Max 100 for $3). Then I tied the tag to the foam handle, and glued it to the front of the box. I printed out addresses in word like I was printing out labels that were 1x2 (printed on same paper as messages) Then I used some fancy scissors I already had to cut them out and used my glue gun to glue them on the tags. I used one piece of packing tape to tape the back shut, place a return label under the handle and sent those puppies off. ($2.22 per box at the post office.) $ .54 Bottle .20 paper .01 ribbon for message .20 labels .21 tags .03 ink pad .40 Shells .05 oil .10 cord .03 foam .05 brads .30 ribbon for boxes .45 boxes Total = $2.57 + 2.22 shipping = right under $5 I Spent way to much, but I am excited to see what everyone thinks!

I love this idea, and I am currently stealing it to do my STD's! Thank you for the clever idea!
