Comment on How She Does re: 12 frugal ways to create Christmas traditions.
I posted on the Homemade Rolling Stamp Wrapping Paper post! I can’t wait to start making my own wrapping paper! Ideas are swirling through my mind!
Favorite neighour gift is when kids and I bake and decorate Gingerbread and Sugar cookies and give them to our neighbours and then to the firehall up the street on Christmas Day. Would be really dressed up with a great tag and twine
I just pinned a great neighbor Christmas gift idea. It included a box of Ho Hos and a box of Ding Dongs. The tag reads “Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas from the Ding Dongs next door!” The boxes could be tied together with twine!
1. What would I use it for? Being this time of the year there wouldn’t be a Christmas gift or tag without it! Plus, I am making calendars as gifts and would use it as embellishment on various pages.
Wow what a giveaway! Just in time for all those Christmas crafts and gifts! That is just what I would use it for too!
I visited The Twinery Blog.
I commented on on your free gift post.
My favorite neighbor gift is a tray of Christmas goodies. Boy would it look amazing wrapped with colorful twine!
I have a great mocha latte mix that I love to share with neighbors. A cute cello bag wrapped with twine and a cute attached. I do have 150 cards to make for my Children’s Ministry volunteers. This would be such a treat to have the spools. I know my hubby would make a great display rack for them too!
I commented on all the sites! Hoping to take home this treasure!
I would scrapbook with it to start and you never know where you might need to have a little twine….
First off I would use it around all my Christmas presents for an old fashioned Christmas. How fun!
I visited the twinery blog. Such cute stuff. Don’t know why I haven’t checked it out before.
A fun neighbor gift would be a garland made with twine.
I commented on another blog post (roll recipe – they look amazing!)
I would use the twine with Adult Literacy Class Christmas projects.
I LOVE using twine in my scrappy projects. I would use all of this yummy twine on not only my scrappy projects but also to wrap up the baked goodies I make throughout the year…so many uses for this twine…the possibilities are endless : )
I just left a comment on The Twinery blog : )
i would make lots of banners and of course wrap it around kraft paper for gifts
I love twine I use it for so many things, but my favorite way is on cards of all kinds. It seems I can always find a way to use to change the whole feel of my cards. Can’t say enough good things about twine.( Love it on my scrapbook pages)
I am soooo behind on my scrapbooking and I am hoping this twine would give me the spark I need to get in gear!!!
What couldn’t I do with that much twine…wrap all my holiday gifts to look fabulous under my tree for starters!! Thank you for the chance to win!
I’d love the twine!!! I would use it for my gifts this year for sure! And to add cute accents to our crafts!

I scrapbook and do cards, would love to try and add some to them. Plus who couldn’t use some fun colorful twine around the house.
For neighbors, I package hot chocolate mix and make homemade marshmallows (YUM!). For some, I also add cookies and/or spiced or candied nuts. Just typing this is putting me in the Christmas spirit. I was kind of in the doldrums until now. Can’t wait to get started. Thanks for the reminder of how good giving can feel!
I love this twine so much. Does sitting and staring at fourteen spools count as a craft? It is beautiful! I do scrapbooking and I can think of a ton of things I could use this for on my pages.
I left a comment on the twinery blog and an article on pinterest on your site. Cookies are probably my #1 neighbor gift, on a decorative plate tied up with the fabulous Twinery twine!
Oh, I love this twine!!! I would use it in sewing for little pouches and use it to decorate my Christmas packages. I hope I win!
Thank you,
Sandra
Bake, crafst, cards….love twine!
I’ve only just recently gotten into being crafty (finding a TON o ideas online and learning how to knit over Thanksgiving break – this website is now bookmarked for me.) As a college student, I don’t have any time at all right now to make things, but my roommate and I have compiled a list of things we plan on doing over break – from making twine bracelets and necklaces to christmas ornaments and even decorations for our sorority’s suite during recruitment.
To start out, I would use the twine on my Christmas presents this year.

I commented on The Twinery Blog!
We just got a new neighbor who is in Wisconsin for a year (from Germany). I am hoping to make a mixed 6 pack of beer/sodas for him to enjoy – German beers, to remind him of home, and Wisconsin sodas/beer to make him feel at home here, too.
I commented on the Christmas Free Printable post from 11/30!

I visited Twinery’s Blog.
I commented on repurposing a broken umbrella.
My husband makes sweet rolls and we pass them out to neighbors. Twine would make the package much more special.
i did both! commented here & on the twinery blog. i actually placed an order while i was there but you can NEVER have enough. i’m still making bracelets galore and started on some garland for the tree!
I would make a picture! And many other things!
okay, now that i really read the rules… i commented on the adorable little sweater ornaments & how i would use the twinery twine, making friendship bracelets, is one of the things i am giving my fabulous neighbors!
i also give a babysitting voucher to neighbors i am close with (& i know would appreciate a night off!). i make them super cute with all my scrapbooking stuff.
i make “white trash” (chex mix coated in white chocolate, i have no idea where the name came from but everyone LOVES it & its SUPER easy) and i put it in little garbage cans i found at 5 below (for bigger ones i use the galvanized metal ones from the wholesaler near me in NJ. it will fit about a pound! & i include a metal scooper).
i have more but my boss is calling me!
ok… now i did all four and i am soooooooooooo excited to see if i win!
thanks for this giveaway. i love it!

My family did the 12 days of Christmas for 2 of our neighbor’s last year. This twine would finish it off nicely!
I can’t wait to share the joy of Twinery with my friends! I did all 4!!!
I would love to win this giveaway. If i won I would use the twine for cardmaking that we do for charity (local nursing homes, childrens hospitals, men and women serving us everseas and breast cancer survivors/fighters and also us it to wrap packages that we send them as well.

I Love all the endless possibilities with this twine! I am going to a holiday cookie party and would love to use this twine to wrap them up!!
Thank you for the twine giveaway. I would probably use the twine in all the common (already mentioned ways) and depending on its texture and width I might try simple crochet chain stitch or braiding (to mix colors) for other projects.
I would craft, craft, craft with all of that twine.
With 3 kiddos and a (more than) full time job… I’d LOVE to win this prize and get re-inspired to find time to be creative!!!

i bake/make gifts, etc. for neighbors every year- i have to tie bags, gifts, make hangers, etc- i’ve used that straw stuff, cording, ribbon–but this year i’d like to use ‘your’ twine! it’s so old, it’s new again and would look so great on all the neighbor’s goodies
thanks for this opportunity! ♥
