Homemade Gift Ideas

My favorite gifts are homemade one's. I also prefer home cooked meals to out to eat. Something about the time people put into making something makes it a ton better.


I have this frame I painted a while back. I got it at a garage sale for $1.


I added a bit of fun to it. I see these fabric flowers all over the places at boutiques. We've been looking at fabric for window treatments so I have a ton of scraps. I found a use!


This is how you start. With a triangle glued to a small felt circle or square.

Then you just twist around and glue. You could use fabric glue but I have burned finger tips immune to burns....




I added a 2nd fabric for some contrast.


This is another frame I finished.

There are a lot of printables online I'm thinking this is a great gift for teachers, family and friends.

I just love these little fabric flowers! They look so easy to make and I have some major ideas for framing family photos now for Christmas gifts! Thanks!
