I’ve been busy as a bee making things for christmas. I’d like some opinions of people who read my site about the stuff I’m making. I have a pretty good idea what I’m making for my nieces – mostly little purses and journals with cute covers. I used an idea I found in the book Fabric Leftovers and I’m loving the results! I’m also considering “Dammit Dolls” for the older kids and maybe my brothers!
However, I have no idea if I should make something for the nephews or just get them a cool book. Any crafty ideas for 15 and 11 year old boys would be great! So far, here’s what I’ve got:
-
- Crazy Patchwork!
-
- A girly tie necklace made for wearing with attitude!
-
- A funky velour beret with unusual accent.
Hi Trina!
I definately love the hats I’ve seen you do…the grey is expecially pretty and versitle…but then, I’m a hat person and have a plethora of my own collected over the years!
The patchwork thing has got a lot of potential (though I don’t know about for the 15 & 11 y.o. boys. they’re hard…sorry I don’t have any ideas for you there.) A twist on the purses/wallets for girls/women could be cell phone covers/cases…even a set like a check-book cover and cell case in the same scraps. Also I think patchwork placemats and kitchen things (potholders, trim for tea towels…etc) would be kind cool, depending on how you designed the scaps together to make your designs.
Ooooooh, I didn’t even think about that! Cool idea! Thanks!
Cool idea! I think I’m doing it!
Thanks for adding my blog link!
