If you think twine is “Divine”, you are going to love our new “better than baker’s twine” as much as I do. Just in, are the yummiest colors of Divine Twine in cotton candy pink, cherry red, aqua blue, sunny yellow, oyster gray, lime green, black licorice and even airmail twine in a red, white and blue combo. The added feature in this twine is that it’s soft to touch, yet the 4-ply construction makes it nice and strong.



I’m in love with ridiculously cute twine because it can be used for so many things. I’m dreaming gift wrap and craft projects, but the possibilities are endless. Think about wedding and baby shower favors, scrapbooking, card making and home-made baked good packaging and gifts for the holidays.

I recently hosted an Italian dinner themed Engagement party. Everything was red, white, craft paper and anything authentic that worked. I incorporated the red and white twine into my decorating. One of my favorite things - that I didn’t actually plan on but happened as I designed it, was tucking the flatware into flat white bags stamped with a fork and spoon and then tying the red twine around the bag as an accent of color. I placed the bags in the middle of the white dinner plates which gave a really fun touch to each place setting.



I had planned paper boats (like french-fry boats) for the antipasto to give a real restaurant feel, but couldn’t find the red + white boats when I needed them. I made a quick swap to white take-out containers, which worked out just fine. Once I added a craft paper label with the word ‘antipasto’ in a typewriter font, I tied the red twine around the container for just the right drop of color, another depth and some texture.



The ideas are endless and so is the fun. Get organized with some ideas with your holiday packaging. The more time you have to plan and do… the more creative you can be.

Happy Organizing!
