The Humble Hankie

This is the bar of Safeguard wrapped in a hankie that I mentioned in the post below.

Hankies make wonderful giftwrap for things like soap (although i would recommend NOT giving safeguard as a gift - it sends the wrong message), candles, jewelry and other small things.

My hankies were purchased at thrift stores or antique malls. I've never paid more than a dollar for one.

The pink ribbon was thrifted also. It is worth digging through sewing notion junk boxes, as there are still treasures out there.

I found the fake white roses when I was going through a 'fake white roses' phase. They were on clearance at one of the large 'bath' stores.

Wrapping the base in a large hankie (this one is a bit bigger than the average hankie) changed the look completely.

Try this at home. You will not be disappointed.

Well. Maybe you will, but I doubt it.
