With the holidays coming up, there will certainly be a lot of traveling going on. How about a little something to keep the Littles occupied on the road or airplane?
These lacing cards are the perfect project. The laces are big enough for little hands to hold and control, and they can lace them again and again! I must admit, I’ve spent a good chunk of time doing them myself — it’s quite addicting! [get instructions]
Project Estimate:
- wood sign or plaque, $1
- shoelaces, $1, or ribbon, on hand
- sandpaper, on hand
- drill, on hand
Total: $2!

I love this idea! I happen to have several wooden shapes sitting around, waiting to be used for something fabulous. Thanks!

Not to mention, it does teach some basic stitching skills. It surprises me how many people can’t even hem.

After I saw this post, I kept my eyes open for supplies and finally came across a cute soccer ball at Ocean State Job Lots. Picked it up for 50c and then paid $1 for three sets of shoelaces. My LO loves it and it gets lots of compliments from others, too. I tell them, “You gotta check out Dollar Store Crafts.”
