Looking for a fun activity for the kid's during the winter?  Why not try making this simple to make Felt Treasure Chest!  When they are done they get to stash their treasure in it.  For an extra spin, why not hide your own treasure in it and make a treasure map to go on a scavenger hunt for the afternoon?

Felt Puppet Pocket Apron

Our Director of Sales made this adorable Puppet Pocket Apron last night and I could not wait to show it off to you guys (modeled by one of our Product Managers!).

Here's how she made it:
1) She cut out the apron piece from a piece of felt sold by the yard using an existing pattern (like an apron you already own!)

2) She stitched the puppets onto the apron leaving the tops open so you can access the pocket.

3) She sewed across the edges with some 1" Grosgrain Ribbon to add a nice finishing detail and added some extra to go over your head and to tie around your back.

The beauty of this is that it can be altered for all shapes and sizes and makes playtime just that much more fun!

Celebrate Elvis's 75th Birthday!

The King of Rock and Roll would have turned 75 today.  Here are a few fun ides to celebrate Elvis Pressley's Birthday:

• Have a birthday party for him.  You can make your own fun hats for the party.  Instead of starts, you can creat mutton chops or add glitzy rhinestones- depending on your favorite Elvis era.
• Create a story about your favorite "hounddog" and his friends.  Recreate it with felt puppets to build excitement!
• Construct your very own Graceland out of EZ Felt.

What are you going to do for his birthday?  Tell us in the comments!

Get Organized in 2010!

I don't know about you, but I have a myriad of loose papers and Post-It notes all over my desk.  One of my resolutions this year is to get better organized so I took it upon myself to make my own Mini Clothespin Memo Rack.  I added a few more clothespins than what is shown in the project and it has made work life much easier. 

Make one for yourself today!
