As promised, I am posting the crafts I did for Chanukah. Last year I got Dan’s little cousin a manicure gift basket…yeah I totally wasn’t aware she wasn’t considered old enough to have that…epic fail on my end. So this year I tried to rack my brain what I could get her…that would be age appropriate…one thing I always did as a kid was cook…and what kid doesn’t like cookies.
I went onto amazon and ordered a apron. I found Chanukah and winter cookie cutters, a cookie cookbook, sprinkles and some fun oven kitchen extras. I was disappointed when I got the apron in, it was so…plain.
So I did what any normal creative guru would do…to the craft store…I found some scrap fabric that was bright rainbow leopard…and I made it more fun…take a look…
…before
…after
Then I was looking at the remaining fabric…and still didn’t have any idea what I was going to put the rest of the cookie stuff in…when it hit me…a TOTE BAG!!…I went to pinterest and found an easy how to…
The instructions were pretty easy…until I got to the last couple of steps…I think I may have to consult Jodi on how exactly its supposed to be done…but I think if you have any basic sewing skills you should be able to figure it out…or just do what I did…fake it until you make it…
…not bad for my first tote bag ever…and of course I didn’t get a picture of it…but I added a pocket and put Dan’s cousin’s name on the front in pink. This year was an epic win…she loved the apron and tote bag! I bought more scrap fabric and plan on making more for Christmas…you never have too many tote bags!
