This past weekend we had 2 parties to go to, I wanted to make something fun and not just the normal store bought gift. I googled boy gifts dyi and came across a few sites with Fort Kits (I'll link to one I found on The Painted Home, ton of them on the net and I'm sure I'm not linking to the person who created it but I've had enough nasty grams so I'm linking what I found lol), simple enough to make. I then printed a tag to attach to the bag that I found on a cool tag on All for the Boys that I printed on card stock and attached with ribbon.
This was a simple but such a cool gift, was a huge hit (well at least with the mom's around who saw it, I bet the kids later will be thinking it was cool).
Materials:
- 2 twin top-sheets
- Rope
- Clothespins/Clips
- Suction Cups
- Flashlight
- Glow-sticks
- Notebook
- Batteries to put in Flashlight
- Treats (Beef Jerky & Cookies etc)
- Bag to put everything in!
ALEXIS NOTES: I bought one sheet ($7.99 at Fred Meyers), the rest of the items I found at the Dollar Tree. Gift cost around $20.00. Put all items in the bag (I found a laundry bag it was perfect). I tied it with a ribbon and added my printable tag I found and ready to gift!
Happy New Year!
Thanks for Stopping by!
