I love to give gifts and when I can give something that is unique and unexpected that makes gift giving even more fun for me.
This gift is going to my brother who recently moved from Kentucky to Washington DC and is without some key household items that can make life easier. One of those items is a sewing kit.
As a professional who is on the go constantly and doesn’t always have time to run to the cleaners or an alterations person, I thought it would be nice to make him a sewing kit for when he needs to mend a hem or sew on a button in a hurry.
And of course I had to do a little crafting to make his sewing kit uniquely his.
I painted the top of a wood box, purchased at Hobby Lobby, in a stripe pattern. I used different shades of grey and added white to keep the look masculine. The base of the box is solid grey.
Once painted I used the Mark Montano by Craffiti Direct Vintage Scissors stamps and created a label for the top of the box. The ABC stamp set was used to spell out the words.
When I was all done decorating the box I filled it with essential sewing supplies like pins, needles, thread, buttons and stitch witchery.
Easy as pie–I had a uniquely crafted sewing kit to give to my brother.
There are so many creative ways to use stamps when crafting so head over to the Craffiti Direct website and check out the full line of stamps.
