{FuN} Last Minute Teacher Gift Idea!

These were some FuN key chain wristlets that my sis-in-law whipped up for our teachers this year.  She used two different styles of 1.5 size ribbon {that she bought @ Hobby Lobby} ...and a strip of Warm n Natural quilt batting to place  in between both ribbon layers. 

First she sewed both ribbons together on the outsides...then using a safety pin attached to a strip of Warm n Natural...we worked it through the sewn strips of ribbon {to give it a little more cushioning}.  Then singed the frayed edges of ribbon...then folded them over 3 times...and placed in the key chain and used a clamp to clamp the metal together. { Boy I really hope that made sense :) }

Then I found a picture of a key online...and printed it out and used as a template to have my kiddos trace on some scrapbook paper.  Then they cut out...and wrote their little thank-you notes on the back.  We made one for each their teachers and and their bus driver. 

My sis-in-law purchased her clamp key ring hardware online somewhere...but for the life of me...I can't remember the site...Uggg... but I know you can purchase some on Etsy.   Does anyone else know where to find them??

Anyways...they were a BLAST to make...and would really make a FanTasTiC gift for anyone!

Happy Crafting!

{Sodderbug} GIVEAWAY!!

***CLOSED***


I am CraZy EXCITED to introduce you to Janelle from Sodderbug!

"Hello! My name is Janelle and Sodderbug.com is my little corner of the internet.

I am the owner of Sodderbug and Founder of Miles for Smiles. And? I'm mom to two children who keep me running. I like to stay busy but also love to nap every day for 2 hours while my kids nap! I love to run and have completed 4 marathons. In fact, it was a marathon that led to the start of my business - it never occurred to me that I would become a designer of custom jewelry.

While in Chicago preparing to run the Chicago Marathon, I stayed with a friend. She was excited to take me out and show me the town that weekend, but all I wanted to do was see her craft room. She took me down there, taught me how to solder - which was merely one of her hobbies - and I spent the weekend distracting myself from the anxious feelings that can come just before running a marathon - and I was hooked!"

Here is a peek at a FEW of the many amazing photo charms that she has created:

LoVe them!!!
