This looks so cute and adorable. Maybe it is just because I am surrounded by testosterone in my house and I was in the mood for some girly thing. But this is cute and green! If you already have a shirt that would work, it would not cost you a dime! Anyways, moving on. :) Head over to Make It and Love It to see the tutorial on how to make this Repurposing: Shirt into Skirt with Yoga Style Waistband.

I know, I know... This is for Christmas. But I did not get a chance to put it up before and I wanted to make sure it got up for this next year. Happy Crafting! There was not a tutorial or anything. I think this is going to be a project that I will just have to eyeball it and kind of wing it. But I think it will be worth it to have a Nativity that the kids WILL be able to play with.

Barnyard Bag

Ok... So cute and what an awesome quiet toy! I am thinking a good thing to just keep in the car for church or for doctor's appointments. And even though the front totally says "girl" to me. I think I could boy it up. :) And it looks like it could be very inexpensive. Using felt and fabric that I already have. I am really excited to do this one. Go over to The Crafty Cupboard to see her Barnyard Bag tutorial on how to make this. Wouldn't this make a cute birthday gift or shower gift even?!

I received one of these cute towels from my Aunt when my youngest was born.... and they love it. I was surprised at how often they want that towel. And as many parents out there know:

2 boys

+

1 hooded towel

lots of fighting

SO, I was so happy when I stumbled upon this tutorial. So go over to Skip to My Lou to see the tutorial on How to Make a hooded Towel for Kids. I also like how she personalized it and there are SO many possibilities with that aspect as well. Such as adding "ears" to characterize it. Oh the ideas swirling around... Have fun.

Drawstring Toy Bags

I can think of LOTS of stuff these bags would be great for.... all the cars that I continually step on, action figures, Thomas Trains, etc... And how cute would it be to have fabric or a logo outside of the bag that corresponded with what was inside. I know. I am a genius. ;) Go here to Motherhood for Dummies to see her tutorial. SO cute!

Table Tent

I love, love, LOVE this idea. Of course, as the proud mother of two stinky smelly boys, :) I would have to "masculine-ise" it a bit. Maybe make it a comando tent and throw some fake blood around the outside. ;) *totally kidding.......maybe* But I think kids would have so much fun in this make shift fort. Go here at Be Different Act Normal to see the original post. It does not have instructions, but I think the panels look pretty easy.

Felt Potato Head

I love this idea. And it would make such a great quiet toy to put in that church bag. It also gave me the idea to make maybe a felt pizza that had different toppings, and oh, all sorts of things like that. Now Missy's post has a link on her original posting, but the link no longer works. But, eventually I will make this and just have to wing it and freehand cut the felt. Should not be too difficult... maybe ;). So go here to see Missy's post over at Neato Squito.

Framed Corkboard Wall

I want to do this once my kids are in school. And I think that it could grow with them very well, art work replaced with photos and what not. And it would not be very expensive. Think of all the old frames you see at garage sales! See the original post here at UCreate.
