Rather than wrapping gifts or using gift bags, I made some bags out of fabric to go with my whole "Recycling Nazi" persona for preschool. Simple bags made with a small gusset so that they would sit flat. The blue bags, have a mini handle that the larger of the two handles loops through.
My nephews (12 and 7) are getting increasingly harder to buy for, so we usually end up giving them cash. Last year, I folded them into different origami patterns. This year I wanted something different, and luckily found this! I used $2 bills for the wreath, and after much debate I think that we've FINALLY convinced my eldest nephew that retailers actually accept $2 bills (he is under the odd impression that no one believes in $2 bills and 50 cent pieces).
A sweet picture of SP and the Doodle with our annual Gingerbread House is up next!
And finally, for this post, kids' ties! I had no idea how challenging it would be to find ties for my two boys that were appropriate for church! The only ties I could find that matched and were appropriately sized for my two guys had skulls and cross bones... So, off to the interwebs, and PurlBee to the rescue. The ties take up A LOT of fabric since they are cut on the bias AND they are completely hand sewn. Aside from those two issues, they are pretty quick. Once all of the piece are cut out (from the free printable pattern) and ironed, it just takes about 45-60 minutes to have finished project!
