Simple craft ideas wanted

Hobbycraft and similar, have lots of suitable little kits. You have little to lose and plenty of time if things do go wrong along the way.
Just choose something you fancy!
Good luck!

I'm about to start needle felting, I want to make little animals. Always wanted to try.

I am not particularly crafty but bought a £100 sewing machine from Hobby Craft and got 4 free 1 hour lessons thrown in.
I’m well away now and love to get my machine out for simple things such as cushion covers, dribble bibs etc.

Thanks. Washi tape (I had to Google it!) looks fun

I did this baby picture for my S & DIL and the elephant card that they are going to frame. Both easy, lots more similar on pinterest and you could add the name and d of b.

Washi tape is available in numerous patterns, from Hobbycraft or Ebay etc. It would be easy to make a picture to be framed, using a silhouette shape from a Google image search. Lots of easy ideas on Youtube or Pinterest.

Thank you for all your suggestions. Some interesting ideas and I'll have a look on Pinterest too.

Lots of easy craft makes on Pinterest site

A simple one I have done is a large first letter of baby’s name with DOB underneath placed in whatever size frame you decide.

Sounds like a good idea trisher, I might watch yt recommendation, and maybe make one, even though I haven't anyone to give it too atm!

You could make a mobile, loads of instructions on You tube. They only involve cutting and sticking Try this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibD8xR_8ZWc

Thank you Namsnanny - that sounds like it would be within my capabilities!

Also put the date of birth on keepsake.

Hearts are a good shape if animals dont suit

Claretjan ...welcome! Hiw about papercraft?
A frame with an appropriate animal shape cut out, in an appropriate colour, stuck on a contrasting background.
Then write witha good silver, gold or appropriate colour pen, the name of child?

Or buy a paper mache animal from HCraft. Paint how ever you wish then put name on as above?

Love to hear what you decide to do.
Congrats BTW
