The art of homemaking is more than shining floors or ironed shirts, it is a way of life for many men and women. Beyond the daily chores routine, many homemakers teach children, volunteer their time, garden, or create a loving environment enriched by dutiful hands. Texas Homemaking seeks to encourage homemakers through crafts, useful tips, goal setting, organizing charts, daily deals, family issues, homeschooling, and more.

A Pinterest Production :: Simple Christmas Gift for Friends
This week, I made a few small gifts for some of my friends. One of my favorites involved soap, ribbon, and a cute name tag. This simple, but adorable, gift made me smile when I saw it on Pinterest and I knew I just had to share them.
Let's begin!
First, gather some fun holiday ribbon. I found mine for $1.99 at the local thrift store. It was brand new!
Next, create your tag. I loved the saying, "Wishing you Peace, Joy, and Hope," with Hope crossed out and Soap inserted. Too cute! {If you'd like the file, please let me know!}
I used Microsoft Publisher to design my tags and sent them to Kinko's to get a really nice print out.
To cut them out, I used my rotary cutter to ensure straight edges. I hole punched the center of each tag and tied them onto the pump soap bottles using a piece of string. I adore Young Living's Thieves Foaming Hand Soap because it smells wonderful! One of my friend's sons was so excited when he saw the bottle - I guess he loves it too!
Then, I fashioned a bow out of my Christmas ribbon and viola, friends' gifts completed!
