But they came out great and I only ended up with two extra. (Mainly because I didn’t want to take a chance on two people who RSVP’d “maybe”). Now I admit I am not savvy enough to come up with these on my own (let’s not forget my sewing machine woes) but I stumbled on them at Lovely by Design. And if you haven’t heard of Lovely by Design, go over and visit her (or her store) because it really is lovely.
I really wanted to make something that was reusable and personalized, something special for the day (especially since I had no control over any other aspect of a party at Chuck E Cheese) that could be used in the car or in some other way without quickly landing in the trash and off to the landfill.
Inside was a pencil, mini composition book, a pencil sharpener [because I can’t tell you how many pencils we received this year!], Trader Joes fruit bar and a couple other small things. They were a hit and really fun to make!
Oh, did I mention I made 27 of these puppies!!
Happy Crafty Tuesday!
I adore this project! I just learned how to sew draw string bags a few months ago and my son has requested that I make him a few more for all his treasures.
ReplyDeleteI know the kids at the party probably LOVED them. Good job! :)
Those turned out so cute!! I ALWAYS appreciate eco friendly/reusable party favors.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, aren't they fun to make! and so easy, too. Especially for someone sewing-challenged like me!
ReplyDeleteJen, thank you! So true, I really wanted something eco-friendly. Harrison has received so many little plastic, disposable bags from birthday parties.
I forgot to mention that they were a big hit with the kids for holding the Chuck E Cheese tickets and tokens while playing games!
I love them! What a great way to use up scraps of fabric, too! 27...sounds like a crazy idea I would get.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!! I'm so glad you are here again!
