Do It Yourself : Care Packages


One of the universal truths we’ve discovered over the past few years is that everyone – male or female, young or old – loves snail mail. Care packages are the holy grail of parcel post.  They’re a great way to stay in touch and send a little love and they aren’t difficult or expensive to make.

Our dear friend Shaun recently moved to Canada. He’s one of the most talented designers we know and we can’t wait to see the first collection under his new label!
We decided to send him a care package to inspire him as he develops his new line of clothing. Here’s how we did it:
 Shaun mentioned that his new collection will be inspired by the Native Americans of Canada. We decided to throw together some earthy elements like wooden buttons, turquoise beads, strips of leather, and earthen colored zippers to inspire him. We also made some silly composite pictures of his head superimposed on the body of a designer taking his final bow down the runway and paper feathers galore. 

The Final Contents looked like this:
 Another dear friend, Mary Katherine, has been slaving away at her job for the past several months. We decided to send her a care package to make her workspace a little bit more enjoyable. Here are some goodies to send the workhorse in your life:
WHAT/ WHERE:
Buttons à M&J Trimming
Zippers à Zipper Stop
Memo Mouse Pad  and pencil holder à Galison
Stapler à See Jane Work
Paper Clip à Fred Flare
