Customer Projects: Great for the classroom!

I love seeing what you our valued customers come up with using our products. Even better when you find fun activities and uses of our class projects and make'n'takes when you get home.

This is one of our free Make'nTake's we did in store a few months ago:



... and then look what Lyndsay Dobbinson sent me in the email of what her classroom did at school...

Product Preview: 7Gypsies Take Home Project

When I saw this great bird sample in the 7Gypsies Gallery I thought... oooh that would make a great Take Home project. The above photo is my sample and if you attended last nights fun Product Preview event you would have received a kit to make your own.

Hanging bird Kit instructions

1. Place the stamped fabric on top of the gold crinkle fabric with the right sides facing out. Pin to hold secure.
2. Hand stitch around the bird with the embroidery floss leaving an opening gap at the top of the bird.
3. Stuff the bird with the stuffing included. Use a pencil or end of a paintbrush to stuff the wadding right into the corners of the tail and feet.
4. Stitch the top of the bird closed, securing the ends of the pink ribbon at the same time to form a hanging loop.
5. Using needle-nose pliers attach the charm to the bottom of your piece of bead chain and the top of your bead chain to one of the stitches at the base of the bird. Your bird is ready to hang.
