I've been working like an elf lately. I dreamed up some crafts for gifts and now am scurrying to get them all done. I've saved some money (made some too) and stayed warm and cozy while I worked instead of joining the hustle and bustle of Christmas shoppers.
Photo Album Card:
This photo album project is for a photography customer. I actually get paid for doing these. They are super easy. All it takes is a 5x7 card and matching envelope, the photo holder pages from a cheap album ($ Store), some ribbon and embellishments.
Pull-Over Towel Bibs:
I had to dust off my sewing machine for these bibs. Pull-over towel bibs are the best for little eaters and crafters. The t-shirt like neck stretches and one size really does fit all. If you are interested in making them, I can get you the directions.
Matching Game:
I got this idea from a teacher friend. Use juice concentrate lids/bottoms, cut out pictures (2 of each) for a versatile matching game. The game pictures has pictures of our family and Mandy loves playing it. For older children, matching upper and lower case letters. The pictures can easily be cut out and it is a fun craft project for kids.
Shabby Chic Headband:
I used scraps of flannel and sewed a simple headband with elastic on the bottom. The flower on top uses the rag technique. I sewed a rough shape of a flower and then clipped to the seam. Washing and drying produces the rough edge. I sewed the flower on with buttons.

Now, let the wrapping begin. I love doing stuff like this. As do my little helpers. It's fun times around here. :) What gifts have you made this year?
