Eli's Birthday Gift

Hello everyone and thanks so much for stopping by today. I wanted to share a birthday gift I made for my and Terry's grand nephew. He will be 3 yrs. old and lovvvvves Dinosaur Train.


This is all the goodies I'm adding to his bag. I decorated a notebook, a candy bar, a can of Tootsie Rolls that is also a piggy bank when the candy is gone, a box of crayons, a plaque that can be hung on his wall or propped up with the easel I added to the back.


The above pic shows the closeup of the crayons. The front and then the back.



The above pic shows the 2½ inch pin I made using my Badge A Minit. I love that little machine and hardly ever use it.


The next picture shows the plaque I made. It measures 8 inches x 6 inches.


This is the before and after of the notebook I decorated for him. If you remember in a previous post I told how I do this. I simply take the front off, make a new one, laminate it and punch the holes and rewire it. Easy and fast and turns out so cute.



The next picture shows the Tootsie Roll can. I just made a cover for it. When the candy is gone he can use the can for a piggy bank.

The next picture is of a 4.4 oz. Hershey bar. That is the large candy bar.


I added an old jean pocket to the front of a gift bag and put the candy bar in that. Made a cute gift bag. I picked up the colors of the graphics for the tissue paper.

Well, that is what I've been up to Ÿ I will be sharing this little gift idea at the link parties listed to the right of my blog. Thanks so much for stopping by. Hugz, Diane

Hi Diane,
What cute gifts for a 3 yr. old, he is gonna love it I 'm sure!
Very creative as always.
Loved the jean pocket on the gift bag, how clever. You make the cutest things. I am planning to do the
Thanksgiving cube. I have one up in the attic I can use, cause it used to have Christmas lights in it, and they went out so we had to take them out to planned to put new ones in, but now I am gonna do this instead, much better idea especially because of the single light idea.

You are always creating, such fun isn't it, I am not happy if I am not making something look pretty.
Rocks my boat anyway......

Love and Blessings, Nellie
