Craft Idea: Need Feedback Please

[Plumeria]

I got 8 yards of this fleece fabric for almost nothing. And, am not sure what to do with it. I am thinking of making those no sew hobo type bags to give out, but, not sure. Anyone have ideas? I know the fabric is a little on the childish side, but, the fleece is so soft! Maybe small pillows?



Yes, I know I don't HAVE to bring gifts, etc. But, I am looking for good feedback here! Thanks

I'm afraid the sight of teddy bears renders me pretty well completely non-creative. But there IS a kids' camp. Maybe something the kiddies would like, since they ARE teddy bears? So, small pillows or bags would probably be great gifts, then...

I say make little hats or blankets and donate it to your local NIC-U or woman's shelter.

[Ugly Dougly]

Bondage gear.



What?

[Bling]

Actually, we use fleece sheets, and LOVE 'em!

I use a fleece blanket inbetween the air mattress and sheet, keeps one MUCH warmer at night. I just can't look at that pattern...

I also recommend hats. One year for ArtCar Fest we made fleece hats as trophies. They're eally easy, super cute and WARM!

Here's a few ideas I found from just doing a Google search:

And of course Martha Stewart: http://www.marthastewart.com/article/fleece-hats

Then you could also make fleece leg or arm warmers:

And this thing is pretty cool looking:

But yeah...do add some evil Teddy if you can work it in. Maybe real glass eyeballs? The teeth are good too C.F.M. Is the drool considered MOOP though?

[theCryptofishist]

They are called bindles.
Will you also supply the sticks?
Maybe you could take a sharpie and add in stubble on the bears' chins, for that proper hobo look.

This is really smart, I do sleep on a fleece too but not usually on an airmattress... *brain fart*

Yeah you won't see the pattern in the dark

[LeChatNoir]

Adult sized footed PJ's?

C.f.M.... that bear is really sort of freaking me out.

[Bob]

Gifts are stupid. Grow the fuck up.

[FaeTora]

Just ignore him. He's mad that the cat pissed on his couch. 8)

That is one I hadn't thought of...hmmmm

[TomServo]

Do you have 8 yards of it? I could tell you how to make a kilt..

[Captain Goddammit]

Can't sleep... the bears will eat me...

[Plumeria]

Yep. 8.5 yards. Although, I am considering adult footed pjs! Or, my daughter may just make some blankets out of it for a service project.

Don't want the bears to kill anyone! hehe

Wear them with fangs and bloody eyes and teeth blacked out.


A friend of mine gave me the tip about using a blanet inbetween you and the air mattress. Keeps that cold air, in the mattress at night, from getting to you. Makes a HUGE difference! I just happened to have picked up a fleece blanket from the thrift store and tried it that night, worked like a charm.
