Projects for my Not So Secret Sister

Each month we make something for each others package. Here are the goodies I made for July and Aug. It's also Becca's and her kids birthdays this month so I made them some extra special goodies.

Freezer shirts

This one is for her little girl:




For her little boy:




Can you guess who these are for?



This one didn't photograph well...




Each shirt got rolled up and tucked into a little tin that I found at target and then I added some other goodies, her are the tins that I altered.






Lastly I altered a picture frame for Becca. You can see in the background the gifts all wrapped up.

  3. These are wonderful!!! And I love how you'll present them in the little pails. I wish I could do those but I can't seem to master that freezer wrap method -- don't know what I'm doing wrong but the color seems to have a washed out look. You did great!

  4. Audrey - What do you mean the colors seem washed out? I usually do multiple layers of paint.

  6. When you say multiple layers, usually about how many? I've only tried one layer because I never thought or heard to do more than one! Maybe that's been my problem. Thanks for the response, I'll have to try more than one layer of paint and I'll let you know how it came out. Three layers should do it, right?

    Thanks much!

  7. Audrey - I just keep applying coats of paint until I like how it looks. Darker colors are usually less, also I find the Puff paint that is thinker takes less then the fabric paint that comes in the paint bottles.
