Sock Monkeys

I made each of my boys a sock monkey for Christmas - Jonny LOVES his!

Too many monkeys jumping on the bed!

I was going to just buy the pair of socks and make them from scratch using an online pattern but I found a kit in the kids crafts section of Joann's for $8 that included everything from the buttons to the fabric for the hat on their heads.  It was pretty easy but since I had never made a stuffed animal before- it took a bit longer than I had anticipated.  But it was so worth it!

Felt Roses

Go here for the tutuorial.

Black Apple Dolls

I love these!  Super easy and super cute!

I learned how to make these by going to this site.  It has a tutorial and a free pattern.  So much fun!

Book Wreath

I made this book wreath out of a book I bought for $1 at Goodwill.  Total the wreath cost me probably about $3. 

I think it turned out pretty cute!
