You're so creative. You could probably sell all this on Etsy if you had time to make extras! I did a few things with Jack... a hand ornament in plaster and paint it with watercolors! I created some handmade candy canes for the tree with pipe cleaners and red & white yarn. And we did a few drawings and a felt tree with little fuzzy balls glued on as ornaments! LOL! I'm not very imaginative that way-- I need a project or craft to be outlined for me. I get a lot of ideas from the Family Fun website. These are awesome! You’re so creative.

Acrylic paints work just fine. The fabric paints soak into the fabric and the acrylics tend to stay on top, in my experience. The trick is to heatset them. I've used the dryer on high. And I've ironed them using a paper on top so I didn't gum up my iron. They've washed well too. What a good idea! Acrylic paints work just fine.

Naia needs something to keep her busy when we go out (really she needs a restraint).I only managed to buy christmas fabric for gift bags but never made them. that is excellent!
