Today I'm going to give you a couple of ideas for some gifts that you can make for your kids. I'm sorry, but once again it involves sewing.
The first thing is this crayon holder.
I can't take credit for the idea. I found it on the internet.
I'm actually going to make a few of these and sell them at a local Farmer's Market (along with a some other things), when it gets a bit closer to Christmas.
Aren't they cute?
When you're done you just roll them up and tie them.
The next little gift is soooo easy to make.
They're bean bags!
I'm not crazy about the stitch I used to stitch the backing for the B but you get the idea.
You can personalize them or just use fun fabric.
In order to make them more sturdy I double bagged them. In other words I used some ugly fabric (below) that I had gotten for free somewhere and filled it with the pinto beans then put that sealed bag in the ones you see above.
Here is a link to a tutorial. She made hers a bit different than mine but it will get you started and hers are REALLY cute.
The great thing about bean bags are that there are endless games that you can play with them. The latest and greatest is Cornhole. But just use your imagination and have fun.
Don't forget to enter the giveaway on Monday's post!
HUGS!
Hmmm, crayons are on sale this week at walmart. Those would be wonderful to make for my tribe here.

ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea! Made me think of those corn bags too! We use our corn bags every.single.day! or night!
ReplyDeleteNever thought of playing a game with them tho! Hmmm
Have a wonderful day today
Love the crayon holders, too cute!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing you are!!
Kim,

Wow! So cute! I love the crayon holder idea! I am a beginning sewer but I think I may just be able to pull it off. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteADORABLE. Yep, it's official, you impress me.
ReplyDeleteI love the crayon holder. Very practical idea. And I love the fabric you used.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I dont' sew, so I won't be making one...but maybe I'll buy one from you when the time comes that I again have a little one using crayons.
Love,
Patti
PS You mentioned a tea book you just got. I have that same book....I love it. Aren't the paintings beautiful?
Those are both great. You totally should sell them at the markets.

Super cute my friend!! I have seen the crayon holder idea and it's just so cute! They would sell very well I think.
ReplyDeleteBig can't-give-this-one-a-go-since-I-don't-sew-you-know size hugs to you! Have a great evening my friend!! Love you! :)
I love the crayon rolls. We have been given a few but I am eager to make some myself. Thanks for sharing the how to links! HUGS
ReplyDeleteLove it! Last year I made crochet hook holders for my stepmom, grandma and MIL and it is the same basic principle only bigger. I really need to make some of these this year for my daughter and niece. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteThose are so very clever! And a great idea to include, along with some beaded candy canes, in a 'needy child' gift basket. I'm pretty sure, though I have an extremely hostile relationship with beads, I can do the canes... and maybe even the bean bags. I might have to hit y'all up for some crayolls, though. 8-]

Have a JESUS-filled day! ^i^
