Gifts Kids Can Make: Play Cake Stand

This project is super low-tech and very easy, not to mention cheap! I got the the plates and bowls at Walmart, $1 for two plates or bowls. Apply E6000 glue to the bottom edge of the bowl. Glue to the bottom of the plate. Let dry and voila! You have a cute cake stand to display your pretend bakery goodies.

Ruffled Pants

I finished another pair of pants for my daughter. Are you sick of seeing pants yet? These were made from a pair of my old jeans. One average sized pair of pants will make one pair of toddler pants, or two pairs of infant/12 month sized pants. The ruffles and pockets are from a scrap of fabric I had left from another project.

Kitchen Flair

The last two years I have ordered seeds from Baker Creek for my garden. Reading through their catalog for me is like running through a candy store (or a fabric store for that matter). I was even more thrilled to find that most of their seeds come in these awesome packets. To frame them, I bought cheap ($1.99/3) IKEA frames, painted them white, sanded them a bit to look worn, and voila! I have them hanging above the back splash in my kitchen, and plan on adding to it each year.
