Total size needed should be measured against an existing bedspread. Using a plain white bedsheet the size of your patch quilt, sew three sides of the sheet to the edges of your quilt. The fourth side is kept open to insert a little weight and warmth to your quilt by putting a light layer of down or cushion stuffing between your quilt and the sheet. If time permits, fringed edges can be sewn to three sides of the quilt, or even matching pillowcases. This gift will lend itself to any bedroom decor, but best of all, the cost is minimal for a hand made gift which will be greatly appreciated and enjoyed for many years to come.
Empty containers are as readily available as clear perfume or wine bottles.
Champagne, wine or brandy glasses also look great. Layer the different colored beads in your container. Pressing down on certain areas more than others with a spoon will create amazing results. Using scented candles will add wonderful aromas as well. Finishing touches can include further decorating the container with a touch of ribbon, glitter or colored tissue paper.
