It is time for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge! This week's challenge is to create a gift for giving! Check out the link to find out how to play along!
I made a few Prayer Pillows. The idea came to me from the tooth fairy pillows, but I think having some prayer pillows to give to some of my daughter's friends is a good idea, too. The idea is to write down your prayers, tuck into the pocket, pray about it, and hang from nightstand or bedpost. I designed these prayer pillows using felt. I cut assorted colors at 4 1/4" squares. I cut out the ODBD tag die cut in various colors of felt to create the prayer pockets. I cut each tag to create a different color base with overlapping flap. I stitched the pockets on first. Then, I stitched squares and stuff with stuffing. I added coordinating grosgrain ribbon for handles. I finished with a button and red and white twine bow.
As with any gift, a nice gift tag is needed. I once again used the ODBD tag die cut. I used the Mistletoe Tag stamp set for the frame and for the "homemade with love" sentiment. I used the ODBD Poinsettia background inked in toile pink and sprout green to create a subtle background design. I attached with some fun organdy ribbon.
My project today is for a few other blog challenges!
