Movie Night Gift Basket Idea- With Printable

This Christmas we gave out some Movie Night Gift Baskets. I like this present because it is something you can give that encourages family time and is fun for everyone.

I made up a printable just to make it a little cuter!

So what you need-
Box to put everything in (a pretty basket would work too)
Packing (I used shredded red and green paper for Christmas)
Movies (I included one for the kids, one for the adults)
Popcorn
Hot Cocoa
Movie Theater Candy Boxes
Throw Blankets

You can add really whatever snacks you want or a nice popcorn bowl would be nice too.

Here are the printables- I did one for a Christmas Gift and one for a Birthday Gift.

I will be linking up with some of these parties!

Waterproof Bag with Zipper

I love making homemade presents for my nieces and nephews for their birthdays. Unfortunately I don't have all of the time in the world so often I don't get to make them homemade gifts. I was a little upset when I realized the only homemade gift I had made him was his birth announcement and his fifth birthday was in November! 

So I made him this cute little bag with a dinasour embroidery on it.  I made the pattern for the dinasour myself and embroidered it onto charcoal gray Jobelan.  I then made the zippered back with a vinyl lining so it is waterproof.

After seeing the pictures I realize they are not very good- sorry about that, but you get the idea!

I plan on posting the tutorial for the bag later this week, it is a quick project that would be a great Christmas or birthday gift.

I hope he enjoys it!!

Interchangable Welcome Sign

As you know, I like to handmake most of the gifts that I give. I got the idea for my sister's birthday gift from Lolly Jane's Interchangeable Bunting Board. I wanted to make mine a little different- wrap the hangers around from the back instead of using the mini-clips like they did. I like the way mine turned out. 

Materials:

12" X 12" board- luckily I had some leftover from this project (Hmmm, maybe I should make one of those for our house!)

Paint

Printer

Pencil

Nails

Scrapbook Paper, Felt Cut-Outs

Ribbon

I sanded down the board, painted it cream and then watered down some brown paint to give it a light brown wash.

For the lettering I don't have a fancy Silhoute or Cricut or anything so I used old fashioned tracing.

I printed "Welcome" out in a size and font I liked and traced it onto the board.

I painted it with two coats of brown paint.

For the bunting I nailed 4 nails in the back of the board and measured out ribbon to fit onto the nails.

The Christmas bunting is made out of Ric-Rac and felt cut-outs I bought from Hobby Lobby.

The Halloween bunting is made from Ribbon and Scrapbook Paper embellished with Glittery Bat stickers.

I have made a few more buntings to send to my sister, but I will let her see them before I post them on here.

I love this project because it can be displayed all year round either on a frame stand or with a sawtooth hanger!

I hope you enjoy it Camille!!
