Okay, okay, I know I only 'pinned'
these a mere 11 hours ago, but I was dying to try them. Since the wee bebe will be on her way so close to Christmas, I have to stock-pile gifts early. And my goodness are they addicting. I love the way they came out and I experimented with different stitches, thread colors and felt embellishments. Yay for some cold weather to keep me away from that outdoor painting project...
And the best part is
I have one for winning! Just leave a comment here with your easiest go-to DIY Christmas gift idea and you'll be entered to win this bunted cozy. I'll even throw in a couple of those yummy pink Tazo teabags. I'll announce a winner next Wednesday, the day I'll officially be 36 weeks, yikes! Good luck!
Pick me, pick me!
ReplyDeleteI like to make crafty "kits" for kids as easy Christmas and birthday gifts. For a cooking kit, it's easy to buy a colorful mixing bowl, a wooden spoon (with a couple acrylic paints so they can paint the handle), a sugar cookie mix, and a little matching apron or a hot pad. Or you can do a painting kid, a cross-stitch kit, a polymer-clay kit....
SO CUTE! My favorite "go-to-gift" for this year is homemade canvases like the one you made Dan and I. I have made at least one for everyone in my family! So far, everyone that has gotten one LOVES it. They are inexpensive and fun to make, I like to give them as a set of two or three! Everyone in my family had a favorite picture that you took at the wedding and so it has been fun to give everyone their favorite on canvas!
ReplyDeletei really love them! no need to count my comment though. but super cute idea and good work, those stars are from your machine? hot stuff.
ReplyDeleteI like to make individual hot cocoa saving in a baby food jar. I really should come up with a better name for them. Anyway, got the idea from here -- http://familycrafts.about.com/od/giftsinajar/a/HotChocolateJar.htm
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I meant to type serving, not saving.
ReplyDeleteI like to make jewelry for a lot of people on my list-big girls and little girls that is! This year I made kind of a charm necklace for my running obsessed sis-in-law and am getting a pretty dog tag thing engraved with "I Run Like a Girl" and the reverse side says "Try To Keep Up!" Then it has a runner charm and a pink glass bead.
ReplyDeleteI love the first cozy with the gray and pink! These are so cute!
I made cute DIY ornaments for all the family today! Bought the clear plastic ornaments at Michaels and filled them with a picture and holly things. They turned out so cute!

ReplyDeleteI like to make snowman gift jars. I buy round jars with lids and glue to candlestick holders. Then I paint a snowman face on the jar and fill with candy. They make perfect gifts for teachers, neighbors and friends.
