Bear and I decoupaged a 50 cent notebook for her friends birthday this weekend using scrapping papers we had laying around.

scarfs out of fleece. You can get two different ones & then tie them together in squares.

Re: easy, cute, (rather inexpensive) gift crafts... without sewing?
fleece ponchos (one year I did "native american" costumes- striped fleece and I made ponchos and a maching feather warpped in fleece for "headgear" for my little ones)
girly fleece ponchos knotted fleece bags knotted fleece blankets (watch for sales at Joannes or use 50% off coupons) ornaments - make circular ones with small christmas pictures glued onto lids of cans or jars and hung from a ribbon trying to think of other "no sew" items I have made Did you see the link for picture boards in the sticky from last year's christmas thread http://www.organizedchristmas.com/french-memory-board It says "sew" but it's not really a sew item. YOu have to thread a needle and attach a button to the board but that's it That website is very neat bookmarked it

Re: easy, cute, (rather inexpensive) gift crafts... without sewing?
awesome list!
I can handsew, a few buttons, a few small seams, etc. I just don't have a sewing machine, nor have I ever used one... |

I made this http://www.cranstonvillage.com/proje...ult&collContId=
It's in the crafty thread. It was so so easy! Cut, tie, enjoy. |

Re: easy, cute, (rather inexpensive) gift crafts... without sewing?
just in case anyone has more ideas. I'm looking for a gift for my sister. Free is the best (I'm not cheap, just low budget ) I'd really like to make her a journal that I typed up (so that every page has questions and space to answer - this is what she's told me she needs) but I don't know how to bind it - I could use a binder but I wanted something a little nicer kwim?) |

Re: easy, cute, (rather inexpensive) gift crafts... without sewing?
ooooh look at this site my sister sent me! I'm going to attempt some of these! I have TONS of essential oils that my sis and I went in on for a huge bargain (buy two, get three free, things like that). I can make my own peppermint scented body scrub! this is exciting
