I decided my first DIY share would be a project that is a lot of fun to do but also extremely time consuming, a Quiet Book that I made for my grandson Levi!
.
The front cover is a picture of my grandson which I printed on fabric.
There are many options for a house page and pictures of your family in the windows makes it personal!
The idea for the running shoe came from:leafytreetopspot.blogspot.com/
I personalized it with a few details.
The inspiration for this SPORTS
page came from:.elisaloves.com
There are a lot of different barn pages out there. I took my idea
I added the silo instead of the embroidered windmill.
with a few additions by me.
Every book needs a shapes page.I decided to use sew on snaps as they were easier for little hands to snap and unsnap. A pocket to hold the shapes is necessary.
And a counting page. I found the numbers at joann.com
I love the toolbox from: servingpinklemonade.blogspot.com and the tutorial and patterns are great! I didn't get the screws and bolts made but he loved it anyway.
A little machine embroidery on the back cover.
ALL THE PAGES!
There were so many more I wanted to do but they
will have to come later.
I still look at all the pictures everyone posts and love new ideas.
Have fun creating!
what a great job betty, you are just TOO clever x janis
