A Graduation Gift idea

This past weekend was high school graduation in our area!

My daughter graduated a year ago. One of her favorite gifts received was personalized towels. I think the personal touch is what meant so much to her -- that someone took the time to adorn her name on something. So for her graduating friends this year, we did the same.  

We rolled the towels and tied with a coordinating ribbon and attached a card.

Usually I would make some nice cards but since much of my 'stuff' is packed up while we are selling one house to move to another, I improvised. We took some thank-you cards we already had and cut off the words at the top and then punched a hole in the corner. Threaded some embroidery floss through it and tied to the ribbon on the towel.

Easy to make gift cards!


Thanks for visiting!

I do this, but get the towels and name done in the colors of the college they are heading off to!
