Drinks are on us


Because we moved, I actually gave these away 2 years in a row as neighbor gifts/ teacher gifts. I've seen them lots of places and I would love to credit the first person who came up with the idea-they are a genius.
The tiles are only about 30 cents each, so you can make someone a great gift for very little cash.

I used some Christmas stamps and permanent ink.  I sprayed them with a coat of polyurethane.
 
Then I used a hole punch to cut out circles out of craft foam.  I attached them with Tacky Glue. Then just wrap them up w/ a pretty bow.  If you're feeling corny you could even attach a card saying something like "The drinks are on us".



I wanted some we could use all year, so I cut out a bunch of letter g's out of vinyl. I made these 2 years ago and they've held up great.
