You don’t have to sew in order to make good handmade gifts! I know because sewing is not a talent I posses;). I made a super cute infinity scarf that anyone (including kids) can make! I also made a custom, dry erase memo board!!!
Do you make anything for gifts? Share! I am always looking for something fun, cute and thoughtful!!!
I used to make gifts but the giftees were openly unappreciative of them so I quit. I mean like raised in barns by wolves unappreciative.
Sugar body scrubs are easy and fun. So are bath fizzies but they take awhile to dry.
Creating a dress up box for little girls is super fun and easy with little to no sewing! I checked out thrift shops for old fashioned slips and nightgowns, prom dresses, made skirts/tops/dresses from pillowcases, etc. You glue lace and beads to a fabric headband to make a veil. Use fabric glue to “fancy up” plain things like a pillowcase. Throw in a dollar store pretty jewelry box with some fake jewelry, a feather boa, some hats, gloves, etc. You can also toss in old Halloween costumes.
You can see some of the things I did on my blog – http://mylifesuchasitis.com/2010/11/26/pretend-play-dress-up-box-clothes/ and here – http://mylifesuchasitis.com/2010/11/22/make-believe-play-dress-up-boxes/
