Hello, I am really stuck here!!! I have been making things for my 10 year old "from Mrs. Claus" since she has been born (an will continue till I die). I have made her flowered lamps, blankets, ect. Can anyone out there give me crafty ideas on what to do this year. She is already asking "I wonder if Mrs. Claus is going to make me something.
Have you thought of making her a beaded necklace to wear or a Christmas ornament to have on the tree. Design her a shirt for her to wear?
What about an apron for baking goodies on Christmas Day.
How about sewing her a fun apron? There are some really cute patterns out there now....... and she might then enjoy helping you in the kitchen....
Or... there are a lot of cute purse/tote patterns.....
If she likes baking the mixes in jar. Soaps or snowglobe soap that has a toy inside, scarf, ornament with paint inside that will streak. I agree pinterest may help, there are tins of ideas. Hand painted picture frame, can be an easy winter scene for a picture from this winter. Mod podge anything.
How about a snow man kit? Were making them as neighbor gifts this year- just add snow. We just bought a new house, and when we started planting found tons of small landscape rocks-were painting those black like coal. Add a fleece scarf, felt hat, buttons, and felt nose and you have instant fun for snow days.
Just google snowman kit and you can find tons of blogs/instructions.
A mobile of origami butterflies.
Rag rug
throw pollows
Hat, mitten and scarf set?
Socks?
Sweater?
legwarmers?
How about painting a clay pot to match her bedroom? Then she could put some artificial flowers in it to enjoy all year long!
have you seen those cute curtains that are decorated like a little house and you put them low in a doorway to make a little tent, they are sooo cute. you just need a curtain rod that fits your door way and some fabric to decorate with a door windows like a little cottage.
What does she enjoy?
Puppets, puppet stage
Dress-ups, storage
Purse
Skirt
Hair ties, scarves, headbands
I would check out pintrest and search for things she enjoys....there are so many great ideas on there. :)

I made one for my 11 year old granddaughter to see what she thought of it, she loved it! So I'm making a few for some friends for Christmas. The more buttons and layering the better.
I wonder if she would like a fancy pretty wreath for her door. Get a round wreath form and a dollar store boa or 2 (depending on the size) and wrap around. Its so cute! I did it for my daughter. You could glue on flowers or anything else you wanted to.
If you sew, handmade purse or coin purse, advent calendar, scarf and hat,painted stainglass window ornament for her room, decorated picture frame. What a nice tradition!
