Welcome to Day 1 of Seven Days Halloween Inspiration!
EDITED TO PROVIDE HOW-TO DIRECTIONS
PLEASE SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST
My first project is a sweet little Hand Sanitizer holder. These cute little bottles (yes, they are actually decorated for Halloween) came from Bath & Body and were only .79. One 12 x 12 sheet of paper will make 4 of these cards. They make a great and economical gift for teachers and co-workers and can be whipped up in no time at all.
Here is a side view of the Hand Sanitizer gift box.
Now, how cute is this wee Halloween hand sanitizer?

Now grab a cup of coffee and a snack and settle in for some mojo motivating eye candy!

How about a giveaway? Well, heck yeah! What is Halloween without treats? How does as $20 gift certificate sound? I will keep you in suspense until the end of the week as to where the lucky winner will be going shopping!
Simply leave me a comment on each of my Halloween project posts (one comment per day please). A winner will randomly be drawn on October 13th and will contacted by e-mail.
This post is being edited to provide the directions for making the gift holder:
1. Cut a piece of card stock 12" x 2 3/4" (see photo below)
2. Score at marks indicated by the ...... lines
3. Specifically at: 3 3/8; 4 3/8, 7 3/4, 8 3/4, and 11 1/8
4. Punch a circle(s) centered on the last panel - this will hold the lotion bottle. Another option is to punch two smaller holes and use the gift card for lip balms or small tubes of hand cream
5. Decorate the panels
6. Refer to the photo above that offers a side view of the project

Um, yeah, so - totally BRILLIANT!! SUCH a fab idea!! And the front panel is just so COOL!!! Love how you inked the sky and the moon! The silhouette fence, and the black cat provide such a sweet, haunting scene! And the little tag attached to the kitty's tail finishes it off perfectly! A perfect "ten"!!!
