Has anyone got any good crafty present ideas for my DD (5) and DS (6 months)..

Have exhausted sock monkeys, mini teddies and rag dolls!!

Many thanks!

what about making bracelets / necklaces for your DD from bright beads? I bought lots from ebay to make bracelets for party bags, and all of the kids loved them, it was for my DDs 5th birthday. hth

Not sure about for your DS. I will have a think.

I love Martha Stewart's website for handmade gifts (although a lot are waaaay beyond my capabilities ). I've spotted these recently and thought they were great;

Snowglobes are easy to make too (jar, glitter, cold water, some sort of picture/figurine, and glue for the lid) and again can be personalised.

Off to spend another day looking at that site now!

If you can knit what about teddy bear jumpers or knitted mittens. You can make them stripy and use up all your left over wool?

I agree with august, I have just bought letter beads and am making my niece and daughter name slip knot bracelets

Bit trickier with a 6 month old, maybe a knitted jumper, comfort blanket or one of those tag blankets that were all the rage (you know those fluffy fabric ones that had tags of material all the way round)

Bump for the OP...
