The Fabric Floozie

Now, let me start by saying I don’t YET own pinking shears. Notice the Yet. So while my Ravioli do not have the fancy little pinked edges, they will whenever I get around to buying a pair.

The other day I used this tutorial on Frugal Family Fun Blog to make some ravioli that the kids could use with their new kitchen. I used some extra pillow stuffing I had, some gold-ish felt I had on hand, and cream thread.

But since I’m a bit anal about toys being contained most of the time, I had to find some kind of packaging for them. That’s when I realized we had run out of Nestle chocolate powder. I quickly checked it for size and sure enough, all the pasta fit.
So I headed up stairs to make myself a label for the Nestle package that would make it look more pasta-ish, and less rabbit-ish.

What you will need to make the matching label for these cute little pasta pieces is:
1 Nestle Container (10.2 ounces was the size I do believe)
1 sheet of printer paper
colored ink cartridge
mod podge

Just print out the template provided here:

Fold on the grey lines
Mod podge the front and sides of the nestle container
line up the label and stick down
mod podge the back of the container
apply rest of label.
LET IT DRY.
Then apply a light coat of mod podge to the front/sides of the container as a “clear coat”.

Now, yours will look different than mine. While I did measurements for the sides thickness and the fronts width, i did NOT take into account the curve of the container. So yours will be lined up much better than mine, and will be without grey lines

So all in all, yours will be much cuter than mine

Enjoy!
