Pesky to Pretty

I was popping round to a friends the other day, and wanted to bring round a little "thank you for having me and allowing my dear son to drool all over your carpet" present. A batch of cheese scones made earlier that morning seemed suitable, but how to make them look pretty?

I had a rummage through my clothing for any tops or dresses that have those annoying little satin tags. The fact they are far too long to be of any use keeping your clothes on a hanger comes in very handy for this idea. Its very satisfying to now provide them a purpose in life considering how irritating I find them! I mean, you put on a top and there are these stupid loops slung around your neck, or sometimes they work themselves into a circulation stopping position around your arm. Even when wound around underwear straps they have an uncanny ability to unravel and appear when you're out in public ....pesky little things. Well no longer....because you too can free yourself of their irritating existance.  Grab a pair of scissors and cut as close to their source as you dare.

All you need now is a large roll of flower arrangers cellophane and a pair of scissors.

Cut a large enough piece of cellophane to allow your edibles to sit in the centre of it and be covered on all sides with a tuft left at the top. Gather the cellophane up around and tie together with the satin clothing tag. Pretty!
