I will post those, as well as some directions, but first, today's project: flower bell corsages, made from [mostly scrap] felt I die cut at the craft store.
A big box of safety pins $0.88
Felt (four sheets) $1.25 (plus felt on hand from other projects)
bells 420¥ [22bells/100¥ + local consumption tax]
Lets say under $7 for 60 or so corsages [that's four for each girl to swap], they'll run about 8 cents each. I'll have both felt and safety pins left over.
This is actually more than I would normally spend on a single kid craft (I seem to be spending more than I intend to a lot lately), but I like developing the idea, and I've been playing with the felt/fabric corsage idea for a while. I like these for Valentine's day and Mother's day, and will use it as part of an upcoming birthday gift. I think I am going to a variation with t-shirt scraps as well
