"Okay now let's make these strawberries. We've already punched two little hearts. We've got two little stars. Of course you could always just cut out the shapes with scissors, and you know you don't have to worry about them being perfect. They can be kind of rustic because, it's sort of a rustic project. So first we're going to take our glue stick and we'll just put a little bit of glue right along the top of this heart and then stick the star right on. It's already starting to look like a strawberry isn't it? Let's make one more. So cute, and then our hole punch. Right there, so there's something we can thread our twine through. The sharpie is going to help us make some little seeds. Again this does not have to be, you know, the Mona Lisa. It is very rustic, casual, fun, oh so cute. Now we're going to thread the twine that we're using around our present through the hole. I've used kind of a small hole. You can use a regular hole punch. The one I used is a one eighth inch. I got it at the office supply store. I find that small size really handy. Oh, that's a little longer than we want isn't it? Let's trim that up and make our knot a little bit higher. Just decide where you want your little strawberries to be. You want them to dangle and not touch the table. Perfect, there's one, you're going to do one a little bit longer so that they're hanging at two different heights. Wouldn't you love to receive a gift that looked like this. You're neighbors are going to feel that way too. Very cute! And there's your finished present. Next I'm going to show you what else you can do with stuff in the kitchen."
