I need ideas for gifts for the children and other family members that cost little to nothing..........I have a few ideas up my sleeve, but thought I'd tap into your ideas before posting mine!
I am making pj's for the boys. I am also thinking about recreating their artwork into a gift for the grandparents, probably a calendar. Ashton made us a calendar last year at school where his handprint (or just fist or palm) were on each month, an apple for September, pumpkin for October, etc. Anxious to come back and see what other ideas you hear from others.
One year I made t-shirts for the grandparents with all the kids' handprints on them in fabric paint. My Dad still wears his & we've added 2 kids since then :-) It was super cheap - just a few dollars for a tee & you may even have fabric paint.
Ok, I sent you a comment about t-shirts for Grandparents & when I hit publish, I saw that I was signed into a google account with "Ray". I have NO IDEA who that is or how it was on my computer! Really weird...
Last year I bought a pdf calendar template from a vendor on Etsy (for like $5 or something) and used it for friends and small stocking stuffer type gifts. I plan to do it again this year.
If you sew, knit or crochet- http://www.purlbee.com/. The Purl Bee blog has tons of small project patterns for free! Last year I used one of the sewing patterns to make bags from burlap and jute webbing.
