need no-sew bday party craft

[zoemurr]

OK.. I have probably 12 9/10 year olds coming for a HSM bday. I wanted to make small no-sew pillows, but I can only find flannel in HSM. Any ideas of a craft we can do with it? It doesn't have to be super simple.. but not take more than 1/2hr or so.

Thanks! (and if anyone knows where to buy HSM fleece other than ebay I would be thrilled. There is some on ebay made by Springs? but I can't find it online anywhere...

You can cut them and make flags, or some pompoms by cutting strips and tying them together.

little pillow sounded good too, or each child can bring a T-shirt and with some clothes adesive (glue? that can be ironed on?) they can cut out some patches and create their own T-shirts by putting the cut-outs on the sleeves at the bottom of the shirt or wherever they want, they'll be creative.

You can find some not to expensive t-shirts in the stores, just in plain colors. I cut-out some mickeys and transfered them on a shirt when I went to Disney, the iron on kind... just don't know what exactly they are called, I just ask the lady and she gives it to me ha!

what about those no sew blankets?

I'm not sure the "no sew" blankets or pillows will work very well with flannel instead of fleece.. I was looking for another cute idea.. maybe the t-shirts would work.. is there some type of purse maybe?

Check at Wal-Mart, JoAnns and Hobby Lobby for the fleece. At Christmas WM had Hannah Montana fleece for 8.00/yd. HSM can't be too far behind!

There's bound to be some HSM craft out there somewhere. I would just really start looking. You could check for iron-ons or go on line and find a pic and then transfer it to those iron-on sheets designed for this purpose (I know they have them at Michael's and JoAnn's. You could iron-on the patch before the party and then let the girls decorate their shirts with tulip fabric paint and fabric markers. No sewing and very personalized. If you don't want to go to that much trouble just give them the shirts or sweatshirts and the paints and let them go to town.

Maybe you could find some cute heart fleece to use then use an iron picture to transfer on..
