Present For My Nephew


My nephew turned 6 this week. Tomorrow is his birthday party. I wanted to make him something special. I also wanted it to be a frugal project and use up somethings I already had.  I decided to make him a felt car mat. I scoured Pinterest looking at all the different ideas there are to make them. I ended up using fabric glue and making the layout up as I went along.

Here is what I spent a few hours everyday this week working on and all day today finishing it up. I love how it turned out :)

  3. Thank you Sluggy! I tried searching for one of those car rug thing and you are right they are expensive even used ones. The cool thing about making it was I could tailor it to his town too :)

  6. That is such an amazing idea! Hmmmm. Now I'm wondering who I can make one for. Except I'm not very crafty, mine would never look that nice!
