Crafting Away Today: Votive Place Cards


Frugal Family Fun has a pretty and simple place card idea here.

Hers are done in a Thanksgiving theme but these could easily be made in different colors and used for Christmas or New Year's celebration meals, as well!
I love that this is something the kids could help with! These could also double as favors or small gifts for guests to be able to take home and enjoy. You can choose your votive holders and make them as simple or fancy as you would like!

Great Deal on Children's Pajamas!


I posted here about a new family Christmas tradition we are going to start this year - new pajamas for Christmas Eve!

They have a whole list of kids' pajamas on sale ranging in price from $3 to $6!

Crafting Away Today: Quick and easy Child's Apron!



Dollar Store Crafts has a great post about how to make a really cute child's apron from a dish towel and potholder! You could use your imagination and come up with all kinds of combinations of towels and potholders to make different looks!
These look super easy and only cost $2 to make! Our baby girl is a bit young for this yet, but I'm thinking of nieces on our gift list this year that would be just the right size for these! Need a quick and easy gift for a first or second birthday party? What about a fun Christmas gift or stocking stuffer? This would be perfect!

Check out this great idea here!

Crafting Away Today - Transform your vases with yarn!



I spotted this idea in one of my magazines and decided to look into it more.

Right now, all of my vases are packed away in the boxes that we're hoping to leave unopened until after the next move. I thought this was a great idea to transform even my regular drinking glasses into vases as I need them over the next couple of months! You could also use this idea to transform your ordinary vases for whatever the season may be. The Christmas colors at our house are blue and silver so wrapping a vase with yarn in those colors would make a great centerpiece for the dining room table.

As I was looking at this idea more, it's also something that would be very easy to make as a fun and unique gift. Walmart has several clear vases to choose from, some only $1 each!

And you wouldn't have to stop with vases, either. What about candle holders (making sure your yarn won't end up too close to the flame, of course)? Or tin can pencil holders?

Check out a great tutorial on how to make these yarn vases here.

Frugal Gift to Give: Doodle Books


I don't know about you but I have a really hard time shopping for kiddos aged 9-15. I mean, what would be a gift that they would think was "cool" yet that doesn't cost too much?

I came across these Doodle books at Amazon and think that these are a great idea! And not just for kids but I know a couple adults who like to doodle, too! This might be a good way to sharpen their skills. The pictures in these books are unfinished - it's left up to your gift recipient to use their imagination and finish the drawings!

They're $9.32 and qualify for free shipping. These would be a fun stocking stuffer or just a fun gift to give!

Crafting Away Today: Fleece Blankets



Be keeping your eyes out for some great sales on fleece. Right before Christmas, last year, JoAnn's had all their fleece on sale for just $2.99 a yard! All of the fleece - even the patterned bolts! I'm really hoping they do this again.

If you can get it at a good price, tying fleece blankets is a great frugal gift idea. They're easy to personalize by choosing fleece patterns that fit the person on your list. You can make them any size you like - I made a HUGE one for my honey that is fun for two to snuggle under! I also made two small ones for our two little ones. They love to cuddle up with these warm, soft blankets.
And the best part of all is - these make up in a snap! I've made a whole blanket while watching a movie!

A Big Cup of Tea has a great picture tutorial here.

Crafting Away Today - Fabric Notebook Covers



I have to say that I love the Skip to My Lou blog. She has such great tutorial and I always feel so inspired looking at the ideas she has to offer!

Today's post is no different than usual - these fabric notebook covers should make up in a snap and would make great gifts for anyone! They fit the Steno notebooks you can find for $1 @ Walmart. As a gift you could make one fabric cover and wrap it along with a couple of the notebooks. When one notebook is full, just switch the cover to the next one.

These would be great for students, moms, teachers, co-workers, friends... you name it! It's always more fun to write in something that's pretty to look at! Change your fabric choices and you could make some masculine covers for the boys and men on your gift list, too.

Skip to My Lou offers the pattern for download for just $1.99 here.
