Folks, keep your eyes peeled when you hit those post-Christmas sales. There is so much to be made from those Christmas cast-offs! Today I have two such projects to show you.
First, I will show you how to use a giant felt stocking from the dollar store to make an EASY Red Riding Hood cape for your little one. You’ll probably even have enough felt left over to make a matching one for her dolly! [get instructions here]
Project Estimate:
- giant felt stocking, $1 (or less if you hit after-Christmas sales!)
- coordinating ribbon, on hand
Total: $1
Next, make a fabulously fancy fur-trimmed cape for your 18″ doll with Wendy at Old Days – Old Ways, using a Santa hat. Most of the work is already done for you! [go to tutorial]
Project Estimate:
- Santa hat, $1 (or less! check those sales!)
- ribbon, on hand
Total: $1
Now I’m wondering what else I can make from Christmas leftovers!!
