I originally saw this craft at Little Birdie Secrets and thought, hey–I can do that. And you can, too! This is one of those projects that looks a lot fancier than it is. And it meets all of my craft criteria: easy, takes 10 minutes, and doesn’t cost much. 
Here’s what you need:
- Hand Sanitizer (I paid $1.00 at the Dollar Tree–although I have gotten these free or cheap at CVS and elsewhere over the year, this one was the easiest to peel the wrapper off of).
- Stickers and scrapbook paper (I have a stash that hasn’t been used in years)
- Scrap of ribbon (again, unused craft stash)
I went with a fall theme, but these would be cute with any color of stickers or paper. Just use whatever leftovers you have. Easy peasy, cute and thrifty (only $1.00 total!). You know what these would be great for?
- A Girl Scout troop craft project
- Teacher gifts, especially when you’re the kind of mom who likes to
kiss upshow your appreciation - Holiday gifts when you need quite a few (for office staff, club members, etc.)
- Little thank you’s for the people who make life nicer–mail carrier, neighbors, customer service people who deal with you and three cranky children with a smile, etc.

Really wonderful idea! I scrapbook, so I always have plenty of paper lying around to use for things like this!
I love this idea and followed the links all the way back to Just a Girl, who originally posted about it. My daughter just started preschool this year so it's a fun, cute gift to make for Christmas. I'm also going to make it for girlfriends with kids. Thank you!
Neat idea!! You could do this with lotions too, I bet.
Thanks for the visit!
Great gift idea; thanks for sharing! Thanks for your comment today too. If you make the pillow, I'd love to hear how it turns out!
Very cute. We'll link at Dollar Store Crafts very soon.
Hi. This is my first visit to your blog. I linked your tutorial on my blog (later this week in case it's not ok). I hope that is ok? I need to make some for my kids teachers too. Thanks, Staci
Come and check out my blog sometime.
