Each card needed to hold a small gift - I decided on 2 little slabs of chocolate.
The 2nd card was quite simple....
and also held 2 mini chocolates in the pocket on the right hand side. 
The left side held the "thank you" tags. 
The 3rd card had a tea-bag folded Christmas Tree - nicely decorated.
... with simple pockets which held the chocolates and tags. 
Till next Time
I just cut out a number of STARS, HEARTS, and LEAVES which were in different sizes.
Pasted some pretty Christmas paper onto them and arranged then on the wreath.
I fitted in some embellishments to complete the item.Till next Time

The next Sixer Council is to be next Saturday when we will meet with the Sixers and Seconds of 9th Benoni.
At these meetings, the cub scout leaders give input of games, outings etc.
I enjoy making something special for each cub scout - to show them that they are indeed a special person.
These are very simple to make and the pattern is obtainable on the internet or here.
Instead of them being just plain boxes, I added some scouting pictures..
This year I made for her (and 2 of her friends) a little handbag which contained:
The handbags are made from 2 pieces of 30 x 30 scrap paper joined together and folded strategically.
And then decorated as one wishes.
Instead of leaving it plain, I have decorated it with pretty lace and added a gold chain.
It is very simple and easy to make and I am sure all your cub scouts will enjoy this.
The girl cubs will enjoy decorating it and making it look pretty and dainty. 
For the boys we have a wallet also made from recycleable material.... this time a cereal box. 
Very cute indeed!
The pattern for this wallet I also found on the internet .... but after spending 10 minutes searching for it, I cannot find it!
She is selling it for only R200- excluding postage. 
Would you ever guess that this is actually from a Coke bottle?
I have used a 1 litre Coke bottle (but a 2 litre works just as well) and cut it approximately 11 cm from the base.
I then decoupaged the bottle with a serviette and left to completely dry.
The top section is then cut into 5 equal parts as shown.
I first of all bent these outwards and then inwards to ensure the "fold" was fixed.
The top corners were rounded.
and then all you need to do is close each one and these form the lid!
Now it can be decorated as you wish! 
A small gift can be placed inside for that special person. 
Simple and easy and best of all, using recyclable material.
We had a whole lot of bottle tops which I washed out and left to dry in the sun. I filled them partially with pollyfilla - a cement like substance. This filled the sides up nicely.
I sprayed them all gold.
Put a dab of craft glue (that dries clear) in the centre and drop your beads in randomly.
If you don't want to use beads, a brilliant idea (from my dh) is to use broken buttons.
... in the process of drying ...
These brooch clips I added last - glued on with special jewellry glue which is fast drying.
I really though these came out well and an easy craft for the cub scouts to handle.
