Twinkle Toes: A DIY Gift Idea

Here's a quick, easy idea for a non-edible (cause don't we get enough junk to munch on this month?) gift that is perfect for teachers, girlfriends, secretaries...whoever! Last year I made these for my girlfriends; this year I'm making them for all the girls in my husband's office.

What are they? Twinkle Toes kits!

Simply take a small container of your choice. This year I used the little paint cans from your local craft store. Decorate the outside with any type of paper/fabric/ribbon combo you want.


And them stuff them full of all the cute mani/pedi supplies you want! ULTA is a great place to get your items, as is your local drug store. If you watch closely (or if you're an avid coupon-er) you can get most, if not all of your supplies for next to nothing. I think last year I spent a total of $7.00/kit. What did I put in them? A full size nail polish, mini bottle of lotion, toe separators, a tree-shaped pumice stone and a nail file/buffer. A few pieces of chocolate never hurts either.

I'm still not quite done "stuffing" my paint cans for this year yet, and I still have some finishing touches to add, but you get the idea.

These were the kits I made last year. I found the cute little jars at Hobby Lobby for 50% off; the rest of the paper/ribbon I already had at home.


Have fun! And I promise they'll be a big hit!
