Fun gift for a birthday boy!
A little time out from thinking about the holidays to put together a gift for the boy.
It was a fun, one hour project. Which is something I have needed after a long quilt project. Small projects feel so satisfying. I used a little thrifted corduroy in this lovely mustard color. I also found two HUGE spools of bias binding today at the thrift store for 50 cents each. I love bias binding… so useful! Thrifted buttons, garage sale blue fabric, and factory scrap vintage style print. Wow, I am feeling particularly resourceful today!
What you can’t see is that this bag is actually 3 1/2 feet long. And we filled it with PVC pipe to engage some of that boys abundant creativity. Here is dad trying it out, before it gets stuffed into the bag for tomorrow’s big day.
I must mention that this isn’t an original idea. My husband got a duffle bag full of PVC pipe and connectors when he was a kid from his creative parents. Since it was such a hit, we couldn’t let our son grow up without the experience. Considering how much time he spends trying to turn everything into a tent, I am sure he will enjoy it also. Any bets on how long it takes him to come up with the idea to make a light saber?
