Handmade Coupon Books
Showing your love for someone doesn’t have to cost a penny. These Handmade Coupon Books are a perfect way to show your kids, family, friends, even your sweetie how much you care. They are simple to make and I bet you already have the supplies right at home to make them!
For many, many years we did not have extra money for gifts, so I would make Coupon Books for the boys and Doug. Anything from a foot rub to a special dinner of their choice.
Let me show you how fun and easy these little Coupon Books are to make…
