My favorite sort of gift, is the sort that truly is a gift, and totally unexpected.
I tend to forget to send birthday and Christmas and other holiday gifts.
I often send birthday presents a month after the actual date.
This gift is for a small person, my cousin, whom I haven't met, but have heard of,
she is quite imaginative and fanciful, and I created this kit with the idea of supplying interesting pretty things that are made for creating and crafting...
1. start with a hinged wood box...
2. paper the inside of the box with this super-cool adhesive fabric!
3. Add some bright modelling clay...
4. add a miniature wooden rolling pin for rolling clay...
5. Glitter!
and a nice tablet of thick watercolor paper...
and a rainbow of paints...
beautiful sticky butterflies...
and a very large, glittery feather butterfly...
Top with a fabulous uber-pink wide ribbon,
I hope these are a surprise and an enjoyable one. :)

ReplyDeleteI think its really sweet you made a fun kit for a cousin you have not met. Some of my favorite posts are when you make kits and packages.
ReplyDeletewooow! me as a kid would have LOVED that, and I love how you wrapped and wrapped it in all different kinds of twine and ribbon, because isn't unwrapping half the fun of getting a present?
ReplyDeleteAlso where did that adhesive backed fabric come from??
What an absolute treasure! Love your thoughtfulness and attention to detail!
