Chew On This!

 Only a miniaturist is not even able to eat a piece of gum without seeing a mini in the packaging! As soon as I opened the package, I saw white paper bags.  The entire package comes in the plastic container they are sitting on that is great for storing mini things or file cards for each project! The gum is not bad either!

Lunch any one?







I tried to think of something to use the silver wrapping for. Can you think of something?

    1. Hi Troy!
      Thanks! I am going to put some in my office break room, some kitchens and the
      Chess-taurant roombox if you remember that.

    1. Hi Nancy!
      Yes, I filled them with either cotton or tissue-whatever was on hand at the time. That is my favorite gum so I guess I will have bags all over the place...hey...I just thought of a couple more places in my mall! LOL!

  5. Brilliant! Maybe the silver could be used for sheets of tiny gift wrap for a little store?

    1. Presto hello!
      Thanks! Yes, a very good idea! The paper tubes are silver on the inside so I could turn them inside out and wrap a gift with that too.

    2. The bags can also be painted/decorated, a handle added to them and tissue paper for pressies. Make them for holidays, birthdays, Mother's day etc... have fun!

  6. I use these to make the bags, also gift bags with handles, wrapping paper both flat sheets and rolled up. I wrap gifts in them too and they can be painted if you like also using markers. They make very pretty wrapping paper when painted, so give it a try!

    3. I use straw wrappers for bread bags too. Make yourself some loafs using air dry clay, whatever you prefer. Remember to make marks (little indentations as real bread has) on the bread tops. Let dry or bake and paint with eye shadow powder and place in the cut to size bags. Easy peasy and a fast diy.

    4. Save the Kisses foil also. There are many candies with great foils for mini uses. Just keep that mini eye open and you will see all the goodies you will find here and there. Oh' almost forgot, I also use the foil to place over planters and add a ribbon just like the ones you see in stores.

  7. Well, that's perfect! :) It's true though...once you start working with miniatures, you see the world a little differently! :)

  9. Remember to cut out the clear parts from plastic bottles and toy packages for windows/faux glass.
