Mmmm... Cocoa

Remember the snowflake marshmallows discussed earlier? And the cocoa packaging I highlighted in an earlier post? Well, I finally finished that little project, and it went something like this:

Step 1: I printed all the labels on glossy photo paper and trimmed them to size. I busted out my trusty Xyron machine, and ran all the labels through to make them adhesive. Thank goodness for this wonderful machine, which has saved me oodles of time using glue sticks or tape runners.


Step 2: I adhered ribbon around the pillow box, making sure the ends met on the front of the box so that they will be hidden by the label.


Step 3: I adhered the label to the front of the box, hiding the ribbon ends.


That's it... a completed set of personalized cocoa packets, ready for packing into the OOT bags!

Packing Cocoa

As I mentioned earlier, we purchased a variety of cocoa packets for inclusion in our OOT bags. Since I'm really into creating custom packaging (if you don't believe me, read this post, this post, or this post), I decided to create cute little pillow packs for the cocoa. I ordered pillow boxes from Nashville Wraps, and when they arrived I enlisted some help to get started.

These cute little boxes are the perfect size for 2 gourmet cocoa packets from Land O'Lakes.

I created cute custom labels:

that I will print on glossy paper, trim to size and affix to the pillow box with a ribbon wrap. So ridiculously cute!
