You would need to make them out of material and sewing would be required, but

only straight seams. It is easy.

 

I love the ideas on this site. Have a look at it.

Here is another site on making them.

And here is a site with a picture of them.

I enjoy rubber stamping, but haven't done it in a while. Do you use that heat

gun and emboss with that stuff you sprinkle on your wet ink?

I am also a stamping addict I make all my own cards, but now I'm thinking

about doing those rice bags, I think they'd be great for co-worker gifts! Do you

just get bags & tie them w/ a pretty tag & ribbobn? I do a lot of scrapbooking

and card / tag making..but I can't sew to save my LIFE! LOL I can't even sew a

button. When I lose a button on a button down shirt, I remove all the buttons &

" layer " hahaha!!!!

Mostly just greeting cards that I have rubber stamped or dry embossed. I

have a few pictures of some felted fish I have knit, they are very whimisical

and fun. I've made a dozen or so Christmas stockings, mostly cross stitch but

now knit stockings as well. I'll have to take a picture of them. I'll try and

post some when I find the CDs. (can we make photo folders of our own on this

list?)

 

I used to sew a lot, I made all the curtains in the house, pillows, clothes.

I used to sew a lot of clothes for my oldest daughter but then she got an

opinion of what she would and would not wear. When I had to dress

professionally I made a lot of dresses, pants, and business suits for work.

(this was back

when you could save money sewing your own clothes, jeez was that only 20

years ago?)

Hope I didn't put anyone to sleep.....

OHH I'll have to check out these sites :0) I want to make something special (and

thrifty) for the ladies at work this year. Sometimes I emboss my stamping,

sometimes I just stamp & distress/ color it and make it look all cool & antiquey

(is that even a word?) and then add embellishments such as eyelets, hemp twine,

ribbon, etc. and I love distressing with a sponge & brown ink. I do the same w/

my scrapbooking I am an addict!

 

Check out www.organizedchristmas.com for some neat homemade ideas, I might do

the cookie or soup mix in a jar along w/ the rice bags. I do need to learn how

to sew first huh? HMMMM!!!
