Apron Pocket Swap

Truly, the cutest tag swap ever inspired by very favorite creative friends. First there is Julie, A Vintage Chic, who has been sharing temptingly delectable fall sweets. Then there is Laurie, Magpie-Ethel, whose latest Collection Challenge of vintage corsages was dreamy beyond belief. There is Mimi, Dandelion Wishes, and her new Cricut, and lastly my mother who never met a waitress she didn't befriend. So there you have it, an Apron Pocket Swap!

This may seem the simplest swap ever, but there is lots of fun in store for you! Here is your template for your pocket. It is 4 1/2" wide X 5" long. Please use the sandwich method; paper, card stock, paper to create a nice sturdy tag.

Next you must give your waitress a place to work. I have chosen the Kit Kat Kafe where the waitresses all wear pink

With the Thanksgiving holidays just around the corner, perhaps like me, you are in need of new APPETIZER RECIPES. I have created a place to slip  a STANDARD 3X5 RECIPE CARD by using a bead of hot glue around the edges of a created pocket. I've added my blog name to identify my tag.

Holes punched at the top edges of your pocket, ribbon added for hanging, the cute possibilities are endless!  Hang them on the wall singly or grouped together, as a garland across a window,

hang them from door knobs, or drawer pulls, or your most favorite lamp.

This idea is just so darn cute I plan to make a Pocket a Month next year to celebrate my love of paper crafts.

You've got your POCKET PATTERN, NAMED YOUR DINER, chosen your APPETIZER RECIPE , have your REMINDER BUTTON?

Then be sure and tell me because I will be making you a heart for you! I just can't wait to see the cute names I just know you will come up with for your diners.. Bluebird Inn, Hoot Owl Roost, The Cherry Pit..... the possibilities are endless! I do hope you will join me for this fun swap.
