First up, pot holders. I custom made these to match the bride's chosen kitchen colors. I used Amy's tutorial. although this time I doubled the batting rather than the insulbright. I made my own bias tape, with some of the fun Anna Maria fabric left from my girls' blouses.
For another gift, I took some fun china I bought at the local antique store, and put the bowl and tea cup together to make a fun candy dish.
Inside the dish is homemade salt water taffy. I included the recipe (in the sheet protector below). The card included the admonition to make life sweet for each other.
All wrapped up and ready to go.

What lovely gifts! I love the sweet dish :D
I really like the candy dish gift - very sweet.
Those pot holders are fabulous. I love the candy dish too. I love seeing the different kinds of things people make with the cup/plate/bowls! They are awesome. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the move! :)
What beautiful gifts!!
Great ideas! Handmade gifts are always sweet:)
Maybe I'm a crazy person, but what glue did you use to make the candy dish? I really want to make a few of those for Christmas gifts but I don't want to fudge up the adhesion! Thanks!
How sweet (no pun intended)!!! TFS - you're so creative!!!
Aurora,
I used the E6000 glue. I've used it on several projects now with great success. I know gorilla glue works well too. Good luck!
What a nice gift !
