Default easy make and take idea?

I am wanting to do a craft fair but with a make and take. I am mostly using this as a way to get some contacts, so I won't be charging for them.

I would like something easy and quick. I have thought about a gift card holder? they will be needed coming into the holiday season or maybe some little treat holder like on of the tag purses?

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks,

Have you thought about a gift tag with a holiday theme?

a bag a lope would be quick and easy and creative. a mini 2468 box , triangle box, diaper fold pocket just use white card stock and pre stamp it so it looks like DP then you can tell them how you made the paper too. I hope this helps out the idea of a gift tag would be fun too.

Bookmarks, Ornament. Do you have the Big Shot? If so, I did a great make and take at a convention using the Top Note die and a stamp using the water color crayons technique. It promoted the Big Shot in a big way! Or use the scallop envelope die which fits a gift card perfectly. Basket and bloom or pillow box. All of these dies are great for make and takes. All you need is Designer paper, ribbon to match and snail adhesive or red tape for a good hold.

Personally, I wouldn't do a make and take at a craft show because my experience is that you will get more kids wanting to make the project than adults. If you are looking to make contacts, hold a raffle of retired items. But remember you'll have some people enter the raffle that are not really interested in making crafts. (so many that should be a question on your door prize form too).

I agree that if you ARE going to do make and takes, make it very simple! A bookmark would be ideal.
