Our handmade Christmas gifts - Part 2

Part 2 of the handmade Christmas gift showcase is a totebag for Lady Bug's teachers. Lady Bug is in Pre-K and learning to write. So I had her take a pencil and write on a totebag (I helped her decide what to write!) Then she and I sat together and embroidered it. We just did a basic back stitch with embroidery thread. She got a real kick out of making this.

We completed this in two evenings. The first night after dinner she wrote on it and we started sewing it. Then we completed it the next night. So again, this was an easy craft and not too expensive. The totebag was only $3 at the craft store. If our time and budget allows I will put in some school supplies in the bag before we wrap it up for the teacher.
