These hanging gift pockets are perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch or to leave as a surprise on a friend’s door. They’re simple enough to make in bulk or have kids help with, yet elegant enough to be the star of the show.

Directions:
- Cut a piece of patterned paper to 12” x 4”.

- Fold along the score lines and use Glue Dots® Glue Lines to secure the edges (leaving the top
open). - Use Craft Glue Dots® to attach embellishments.

My name is Samantha Taylor and I have a passion for combining crafting and creativity to beautify life. I live in a small town in rural Iowa with my husband and 2 boys (all 3 of whom you’ll see featured in my projects). I’m a paper crafting fanatic who also loves photography. I enjoy making lay outs, cards, mini albums and home decor items, party decorations, and crafting with my kids. My favorite thing about crafting is getting to connect with so many people all over the world who also love creating pretty things and preserving memories.
