Anyone up for a quickie New Year's themed nature table swap?? Limit - First 5 people so we only have to make 4 of each item. Mailing date - firm on Saturday, December 17th (that gives almost 2 weeks, and 2 weeks for everything to get here and get back by New Year).

Ideas:
felted funky hats
baby new year bendies
ribbon streamers
noise makers
clocks
Father Time bendies
hanging streamer ornament
crackers (you know, Christmas and New Year crackers; you pull the ends and the open with a pop! and have a surprise inside)
2006 garland

Signed up:

5 - Polkadot

PolkaDot · 12-05-2005, 02:21 PM

OK>.I will take the last spot

PolkaDot · 12-05-2005, 02:22 PM

I will make a 2006 garland

mom2kbeth · 12-07-2005, 11:33 AM

Anyone have some more ideas? None of the ideas are jumping out at me to be made yet, lol. I want to get started on this swap asap, but I don't know what to make

PolkaDot · 12-07-2005, 12:57 PM

Well the garland I had in mind looks BLEH...LOL. I dont like it..LOL

So I will make some crackers..now what to put on the inside though..tee hee.

huntersmama · 12-07-2005, 01:03 PM

i have no idea what to make either

i'm glad someone is doing crackers, i was trying to figure out hwo to make those

I think i am going to try to figure out bendie size party decorations. we'll see

PolkaDot · 12-07-2005, 01:06 PM

Ya know..I just realized these have to be pretty small..but the way I make any of my crackers..I just did ones for Christams..they are pretty big.

Would that still work for this swap?

I could also do Ribbon Wand Streamers for the kidlets to use instead of those Party Poppers..I could do 4 each..but again..those are LOOONG....LOL.

What say you crafty ladies?

mcmrymoon · 12-07-2005, 01:18 PM

wait - are the new year's items for a nature table or to be used irl? i was making my hats small enough for a table. in fact - i was just gonna ask whether you all wanted bendy sized hats.

i plan on starting soon so please let me know!

I think they are for a nature table..but I am not 100% sure..that is why I am waiting until I find out for sure. Then I know what I will do...LOL.

Did that just make sense..its been one of those mornings..and I should be working..but I gave up coffee..and it's just not working ....LOL!
