I made this I Spy toy. Benny is too little to enjoy it now but in a couple years he will. It was really easy to make. All you need are some little trinkets (Barbie accessories work really well), rice and a plastic ziplock bag. I had a bell, buttons in Christmas shapes like trees and candy canes, red and green buttons, a snowflake charm from a broken neclace, mitten and stocking shapes cut out of felt and some other miniature christmas misc. You just put everything in a plastic bag with about a cup or less of uncooked rice and zip it closed with just a little air left inside. Tape it closed if you want it to be more sturdy. I had a decorative candy bag with a window in it that I put it in but you don't have to do that.
This is a cute little wreath that I made because I couldn't find ours due to the move. All you need is something round to glue your fabric flowers to, I used rafia that was twisted around itself to make a wreath shape. To make the flowers, you take a strip of fabric and stich on one edge. You pull the thread tight and the fabric with gather on that on side. Then you curve it around and form it into and flower. Make a couple extra stitches so it looks the way you want it and secure with a knot or glue. I used Tacky Glue to glue them onto the wreath. The little reindeer is acually a clip with a magnet on the back. I just glued brown paper and pipe cleaners to make a reindeer and finished it with a little red pom-pom.
