I need help with an idea, I want to make gingerbread men & put them in blank white CD envelopes (the ones with the clear window) But I want to dress them up a bit & have no idea how to do it that would be quick & easy since I will be making so many of them (as party favors) These will be for adults & kids. Any ideas??

This is what gave me the idea, but dont wanna copy......

Do you have an embroidery machine? I made 50 last week to go in my Christmas cards. Fast and easy.

Stamp the outside of envelope with snowflakes or some design. Add color/printed paper inside the window behind your cookie or a colored paper doiley would look nice. I tried to google it but not much came up.

Hi.!!! Haven't seen you in awhile. Glad to see yyou on here. Anyway....

Cut them out of fun foam and use a white marker for the embellishments. Red ribbon for a tie or/and blue for a bowtie. Fun foam cuts easy without tracing it on foam. Or use felt and do the same thing. If using fun foam you could glue a magnet on the back and then they would have it for their frigs year around.

Good luck, Jean

Are you wanting to do an edible cookie? The window envelope is a great idea.

Evelyn - Your guys are adorable! Don't some regular sewing machines have that blanket type stitch?

Evelyn they are adorable. Could you please share where you got the pattern TYIA

Thanks to all & I apologize for not getting back in here sooner. I did plan to do real gingie cookies in the envelopes, but the recipe I tried was a flop, so I just ended up skippin it all together lol
But your time was not wasted, got some good ideas for next year!
