I graduated from college a few weeks ago, which means I'm living at home, jobless, and bored. When I get bored, I get creative, though nothing usually comes of it. Most of the time my photography blossoms a bit... but I always want to do something more substantial... with my hands. So I think for Christmas I am going to make small plush monsters for my best friends. I'm not very good at sewing, but I do have access to a sewing machine and a lovely mother who doesn't usually mind helping me figure it out. So I want to make those monsters. BUT... I want to do something else with them. For example, I would like to PUT them in something equally cute. I could make my own gift bag or wrapping paper or something, but I kind of want to do something that'll last longer than the time it takes my friends to open the gift. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks everyone!
