Keepin’ a Boy Busy… and a Girl Too

Hi Folks!  Most of my life I have been crafty in one way or another, maybe some of the ideas weren’t earth shattering by none the less, there were mine. This all changed  last year sometime when I joined Pinterest . Don’t get me wrong, not many days go by that I don’t peruse the million boards on this lovely creation. But now everything I make usually stems from an idea I’ve seen from someone else, a re-create, or just plain ol’ copying! Well I’m proud to announce that this one is all mine! Not to say someone else hasn’t made something similar but I just went to my craft room and made it, no running back to the computer to peek at someone else’s work. I just went and put the creative side of my brain to work!  If you like this car version, don’t hesitate Click on over to the May Arts blog for a PAPER DOLL version I put together (also my own idea!) Enjoy:

This busy book is created from two pieces of Chipboard (you could use cereal boxes also).

I sewed the felt pocket directly to the chip board cover. 

I sewed the road design to the piece of green felt. Then I used spray adhesive to attach it to the chipboard. Using a leather gauge needle in my sewing machine I sewed around the parameter of the board.

I used my Cinch to bind the two pieces together. The busy book fits perfectly on the lap of a child in their car seat.

This book was intended for using while you’re in your car seat, but fun regardless where you use it!

Happy Crafting!
