Potato print Christmas cards
Take one old motley potato and cut in half.
Cut a design in the potato half (ok, so my potato carving skills leave a lot to be desired lol).
The frame will stand up by opening the case a little bit. I also added a piece of cardboard behind the photo so that the light didn't shine through.
Cover raised part with paint and stamp onto cardboard.
Voila - homemade Xmas cards! Billy used these to give to his friends and teachers.
CD Case Photo Frames
A nice simple craft that's a great gift for grandparents etc.
Take an unwanted CD case and take all of the paper & plastic inserts out of it so that you're just left with the outside.
With the hinged part to the top, stick a photo to the inside (I used double-sided tape), and then go mad decorating it.

Billy also got me to teach him how to hand sew (not that I'm an expert!) - and here he is making me a pincushion. I haven't seen the final result yet - it's wrapped up under the Xmas tree!

Would that be him making you a pincushion whilst wearing bandanna pants?
Isn't it great he's wanting to sew by himself!
Love the cd case photo idea. We could do that here.

lol, it would indeed :)
It's amazing how keen he is to sew when I am - or knit when I am - or cook when I am lol.
