Recreated Baby Chains

-


Hi All,

This is just a quick short post this time round. I wanted to update on the use of baby chains. Some may know the plastic chain links used for different Baby/Toddler play. Well I decided to take that idea and sew some links together.

For this project I used different fabric scraps and sewed them together. Right sides in and leave one edge un-sewn so that you can turn the project right way round. Then tuck in the edge to give it a finished look and sew completely around the rectangle piece. Well, they don’t always been to be rectangles. I have made some square ones and just been creative with it. Some of the pieces I included ribbon pieces (refer to picture). Just make a variety of different pieces. Afterwards a few buttonholes (this can be done while on the sewing machine or by hand) and sew some buttons on. 

Personally, I prefer to use (where possible) buttons that are a bit harder to get out of the buttonholes, rather than the standard round ones.

If you don’t have the best sewing skills and want a NO-SEW option of this same project, I would recommend using felt! You may still need to hand sew the buttons in place, I wouldn’t recommend a glue gun for a Baby or Toddler project!

That’s all from me. I found this project fun and practical! My little Toddler loves the chains on his stroller and this way I can hook in other items of interest.

Hope you all feel inspired! Have a wonderful creative week ahead.

‘Till I see you all again, bye-bye!





(Excuse my kitchen background in this picture! I needed somewhere to hang the item without Bub trying to yank it off! haha)


(Just clipped it onto his stroller and he is waking up!)

Last minute Christmas Gift wrapping

Hi All! IT IS ALMOST CHRISTMAS! I hope you all have finished your Christmas shopping, creating, decorating, crafting, baking and anything else that could fit in that list! For us Christmas is already happening. Seeing some people here and there and on this day and that day. Gifts here, laughter and fun over there. For those of you who are pumping out the last few things, in these last few moments or the last day. Here’s some last-minute gift-wrapping tricks and ideas I’ve got. Hopefully throughout the year you may have collected some cereal boxes. These are great for other crafts too – and not just with kids! (New year’s resolution idea maybe? Keep cereal boxes for future craft and gift-wrapping ideas!) I remove the tabs off the top of the cereal box so there is an opening, then wrap the box up with Christmas Paper. Next for a finishing touch using washi tape around the edges of the opening. Then using a hole puncher, press two holes for each side where you can use a match...

Hi All,  Well, it appears after clearing out some small baby food jars, from the last time I mentioned these. I found another place I had stored some jars and thought what is something different I could do to utilise these jars. Hmm..  Well, turns out I found something indeed, and now I am unsure if I would like to give the set away or keep it myself haha. For this crafty project you will need; ·        3 baby food jars, preferably the same size ·        Hot glue gun + extra glue gun sticks ·        3 alternative materials, I used paddle pop sticks, wooden pegs and cinnamon bark tea ·        Scissors ·        Pen With the required items gathered, this is the how to guide in assembly. Jar 1 – First off I decided to cut the paddle pop sticks into two different lengths. After I decided on the lengt...

Butter it up into a pudding...

Hi Everyone! A couple months ago a friend of mine advised how he loves bread and butter pudding and he was learning to make it himself. I recall announcing how I detest bread and butter pudding. Funny enough, bring the time forward to current day and I felt it necessary to update my friend on how I made bread and butter pudding and ENJOYED it. Goodness me. It happened as a result of having a left-over crusty Vienna loaf that was just soooo good, but unfortunately my husband and I couldn’t eat that much bread and now the loaf was slowly going stale. What options did I have in order to not waste it? I wasn’t keen on making it into breadcrumbs as I so often do with other stale bread or bread crusts from when I make “voileipä kakku” (Sandwich Cake – that can be a post for another time. It would be the ULTIMATE in Sandwiches and Savoury Cake Decorating!) and that’s when it dawned on me about bread and butter pudding. Though my initial reaction was ‘ugh no thanks’ I thought well ...
