Want to Create some Mini Loaf Sleeves?
It’s amazing that we can create such SWEET sleeves for our mini loaf of bread using just half a sheet of cardstock. And let’s face it, this is much cuter than cling wrap and a bow. It took some trial and error to get the measurements just right but it was worth it. Now you don’t have to try to figure it out yourself.
TIPS ON MINI LOAF PANS:
- You can purchase the foil mini loaf pans with lids* here.
- I love these silicone mini loaf pans*. They fit perfectly with my sleeves and are much more eco-friendly.

Great idea Connie! Can’t wait for Thursday’s post.
I made your microwave pie for Thanksgiving… I’m never going back to all oven baked! It turned out perfect!
Thanks for all you do!

I love that!!!!

You are so smart! Pretty soon some entrepreneur will be selling these in packs of three at a big box store. They won’t be as special as yours, because you are so creative. Love how you share, and encourage the creativity of others. You are a talented artist in your own right. And you feel like a friend. Thanks for that, too!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. May 2023 be filled with good health and much happiness!
Connie, thank you for this GREAT idea to decorate my mini loaves. They are going to look so much better from now on! I’m going to make one for a birthday gift today. Thanks again.
