iXiBrianiXi Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'm being bugged by a cousin for help with making something for one of his lady friends leaving for college. I'm apparently the "Artsy" one in the family, though I have no idea how music and movie making make me an art's and crafts guy. The 3 idea's I've given him have already been tapped (Home Made Photo Album, Drawing, and Flower Pens) so if anyone has some suggestions...please help. I tried Google with no success. He's lookin' for something that'll be practical in use but "cute" in nature and something'll remind her of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could sort of cheat off the photo album idea and make a calendar/scheduler with pics of them and the places they've been? You could right a song about said lady friend. Your boyfriend Doesn't want this to end but he's a lazy guy Doesn't know what to try besides, he'd get it all wrong So, I'm stuck with writing you this song Just cause it didn't come from him doesn't mean it's not personal just because he wasn't involved doesn't mean he doesn't care you've got his heart churning You've got him out on a ledge he's scared of what you might be learning and all the studs you'll meet in college (You know something romantic like the above :evilg: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Or if she's into sports or supporting her college, make her a jersey for her school and put his name and number on the back (or if he doesn't have a number, something cheesey like the number of months they've been going out will do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Cut off his ear and give it to her in a box, so when she needs to get something off her chest, she can just open the box and tell it to his ear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardi gras skin Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Cut off his ear and give it to her in a box You really can't beat this idea, Brian. Anything else you do is going to suck by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeckBone Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I think a really awesome craft gift is a hand tied blanket. My mom worked at an elementarty school and had the kids "assist" her in creating xmas gifts for everyone one year. They all had a theme. Mine was a Redskins blanket. She got the material from Jo-Ann Fabrics, top was the Skins logo and the Bottom was a yellow felt type material. You basically make cuts into both pieces all the way around and tie together. The great thing, besides even a child could do this, is the fact that the ideas for themes are limitless. http://www.ehow.com/tied-blankets/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
