Following our Bible lesson Monday night, we had demonstrations of how to wrap food gifts for Christmas. See the table behind me in the picture below? Notice how it’s covered? I did that because the ladies that did the demos had so many beautiful things on that table, I knew no one would hear a word of the lesson! Wait ’til you see what was under there! You’ll understand!
Candy cane centerpiece, barbeque items in an oven mitt, tiny wreaths made from greenery wrapped around a mason jar lid…
Kitchen towels around purchased bags of bagels with jam added on top, tiny bread wrappers made from card stock, “gum-ball machine” made from a painted clay pot and saucer and a clear glass bowl.
Movie night gift box, snowman microwave popcorn covers, cake pops, and a roll of cookie dough wrapped up to give because “we can all use a little extra dough at Christmas!”
In Christy’s hand is a cleaned-out water bottle. Cut off the bottom 1/3 of the bottle, wash, then use as an individual cupcake holder. Cut a circle of cardboard slightly bigger than the bottle to fit into the bottom. How cute is that?
Here’s a close-up shot…
These adorable cupcakes are made from washcloths! You could use this for a hostess or bridal gift as well as Christmas, and include spoons and whisks.
Here is a little video clip of Christy showing how to roll the washcloth into a cupcake…
I am so grateful to Christy and Linda for their hard work on preparing all the lovely gifts to show us! What fun that was! It is my prayer that as we learn about having the quiet heart like Mary, we will then, with the right attitude, be able to serve like Martha. I pray this inspires you to get a little crafty in your kitchen and give someone a food gift this Christmas that will show them how much you care.
With love,

Oh how I wish I could have been there for this. It looked so amazing. I loved the bagel idea. I just might steal it. I loved how all of them were very inexpensive. I'm always looking for something creative but also fits the budget! I may just use the bagel gift and put my apple butter on top! Thanks for sharing.
