We are currently covering books and naming pens, and pencils for school, by the time we have finished we will have named/covered approx. 170 items.
I have seen pencil/pen/crayon holders on several blogs, I can't remember which one, but the are all basically the same thing, and some are very pretty, and lots of love and care, has been poured in.
Though I love the children, making these has been needs based, because the crayons in the box were just to hard, for them to manage.
I have deconstructed, the whole thing, to reduce the amount of time, to make them. The fabric, is some 100% poly, matress making stuff, it has a bit of a canvas quality. I just cut a strip, left the fluffy selvedge, folded it, ziz zagged, the edge (I don't overlock) and sewed all the little pockets. Finished with an elastic loop, and a pretty button.
And the reaction from the kids 'WOW Mum thats MAD"
This bit of stuff, is what I have prepared for Church this Sunday. We are doing stuff about the relevance of the bible.
This stuff is for an activity. When the early Christians, were sharing the the word of Christ, they shared bits of letters, stories and stuff, different people had different stuff, and they had to come together to get the big picture.
So in this activity, I got 10 great Jesus quotes, on A3, stained the paper, and tore it up. When people get to Church, everyone will be given a piece, and during the service there will be a time when we all wander around and find the people, with the other bits.
