Flower Clips & Notebooks

A few years ago my in-laws started a fun tradition. The cousins draw names and exchange inexpensive or homemade gifts. This year I decided to make the gifts. I just used materials I had on had.

The flower clips were made with felt I cut by hand and added a little button and stitching. I attached the flowers to hair clips with a stitch and hot glue.

The notebook covers were made from scraps of scrapbook paper and stickers. I cut paper to go inside from notebook and copy paper. Then I folded the paper in half and punched holes through each sheet to tie the ribbon through.

I may still go to the dollar store and buy some pens to go with them. Other than that, they were free and simple to make. Success. Hopefully my nieces like them.
