Default Giving tile coasters as gifts...

Hi everyone Happy Monday!!!

A co-worker is having a birthday this week and I made some tile coasters for her yesterday. But I didn't think ahead as to how I'm going to wrap them. I have lots of cardstock at home to make a box, but will that be strong enough?

Would you just wrap them in ribbon instead?

How would/did you protect them if YOU gave them away?

TIA!

A great way to package them is in the SU medium organdy bags with a tag stamped using the same set as used on the coasters.

Very easy and very impressive!

I gave a set to my mom for Xmas. I put them in a box and wrapped the box -- nothing seemed sturdy enough for them!

I took 12x12 cardstock in a complimentary color and cut a strip about 1 1/2 inches wide. Then I cut a one inch strip of US white and stamped with the stamp I used for the tiles. I layered them and wrapped them around the tiles, wrapped organdy ribbon around it and tied a stamped tag around the ribbon with silver cord. My daughter gave them away as gifts for games at a Bridal Shower and they were a huge hit!

I found a few wooden square boxes from Micheals - they had a hinge top and four tiles fit perfectly in it. I stamped the outside of the box to reflect the coasters inside (golf theme)

I also found wooden boxes at Michaels and the tiles fit perfect in it. I think they were just over a $1.
