These are little flags I made for our church bake sale for Japan a couple of weeks back.
avery's notebook
I love how Avery decided to decorate the cover of her notebook one day.
gift box
And for the last detail of Avery's birthday gift from my cousin Amy (featured on Monday's post): its monogrammed gift box. Amy used IKEA reversible wrapping paper and cut out an "A" to adorn her gift box. Simple and very cute!
handmade ramen bowl
My creative cousin strikes again! For Avery's birthday gift this year, Amy made a pretend ramen bowl using the following "ingredients": yarn, felt, craft foam, Sculpey UltraLight oven bake clay, acrylic paint, card stock and Modge Podge. Genius, right?!
lego crayons
As promised, here are photos of some of the many lego crayons I made this past Christmas to give to Avery's friends. These are the ones I ended up keeping for Avery, and as you can see, they are a little worn down because they've been in use! I purchased a lego-shaped mold on eBay and used this tutorial, but ended up increasing the oven temperature to 225-250 degrees (depending on the batch). Recycled crayons are fun and economical to make, and there is an endless variety of shapes and possibilities out there!
