Project: "Leftover Christmas" Did you have a project you made several of for holiday gifts? Washcloths, ornaments, jewelry, etc.? If you have additional ones you can start saving for the 2014 season. If you received a crafty kit for a gift you can use those supplies and skills for later projects that would be perfect for shoeboxes, nursing home visits, as well as other gift giving opportunities. Shown below are trivets made from pot holder loom and loops. This year we also plan to keep our eyes open for kits on sale to broaden our skills and try some new ideas. Often times kits come with all supplies save glue or something basic.
Shoebox Idea: Save small bottles and remove labels (soak in soapy water, if needed) then fill with small (age group appropriate) shoebox treasures like beads, pencil erasers, nails, screws, fabric pins, hair pins, etc. The ones pictured obviously need some soaking!
Coming in February: A project with step-by-step instructions that will also be good for Valentine's Day gifts PLUS a live local workshop! Check back here for supply list and workshop details!
