Finished a headband made from t-shirt yarn
Also redid the cover of a standard memo pad with pretty scrapbook papers. Did inside the covers too and added a pocket in the back.
All that extra paper made the memo pad not close quite right anymore, so I cut a length of stretchy black stuff (saved from the waistband of a pair of exercise pants - they stay up fine without the tie band and they were just getting in my way) and sewed the ends together to make a band.
This can slip over the book and hold the pages closed. I hid the place where I sewed the ends together by hot-gluing on an arrangement of fabric flower petals in colors that coordinated with the papers. Looks really cute!!!
Into the gift closet they go!!!
I'm hoping to take advantage of a back to school sale to get a nice pen or set of pens to go with the memo pad gift.
Can you believe it is almost August??? I have so many more crafts I want to do and I'm running out of time!!! Must get busy!!!
