- Instructions
-
-
For each coat pin, cut out 2 or 3 small squares or rectangles from the corrugated cardboard. Our cutouts ranged from 1 1/2-inch squares to 3- by 1 1/2-inch rectangles.
-
Cover the cutouts with gift wrap or origami paper, gluing the edges in place. Now arrange the packages in a stack and stick them together with dabs of tacky glue. Add a miniature bow or ribbon.
-
Once the glue is dry, stick a self-adhesive pinback to the bottom of the stack.
