Hi! I made a little something for
TGF's Which One Wednesday Sketch #10,
Ribbon Carousel's Challenge 18 All Tied Up (use more than 1 spool item), and
Some Odd Girl Challenge Paper Piecing.
When I saw the sketch, it reminded me of a Double Pocket Card. See
HERE for a tutorial. But I didn't follow the tutorial. I made the bottom boxes in the sketch into pockets. One to hold a gift card and the other to hold a little card for a message.
I used TGF's Vivi. She is popped up a bit on the first pocket.
Vivi is paper pieced and I found my stash of bells after searching all my crafting bins. I tied one on to the end of her cap with some twine and added some flower soft too.
This is what the inserts look like. The smaller one will hold the gift card. I just used some removable tape and an old gift card I found for reference. The larger one has a label (from PTI) so my son can scribble his name on it. Both the inserts have some ribbon tied on with twine.
I made this one for my younger son's preschool teacher who is a man. It's the first time any of my kids have had a male teacher as their main teacher so I was kind of stumped on gifts. I didn't think a stack of cutesy note cards would appeal to a young guy so figure I better go the gift card route. I have to make one more for the aide in the classroom. She seems young too so I'm thinking gift card as well.
So I've started my Xmas crafts for teachers. Now I've got 3 kids in school, I'm starting early. Not to mention all their extracurricular activities.
Thanks for reading and have a great long weekend!
