What's Up Wednesday: Quick Gifts

Pinterest is a great resource when searching for quick gift ideas.  This project has been pinned on my Cute Craftiness board for a while.

Designer Face Fluffs

Originally, it was the bright colorful fabrics that caught my eye.  Isn't that how it usually goes when browsing Pinterest?  I guess that's what they mean by eye candy.  

nice stack of pretties

 The tutorial to make these face fluffs was easy to follow with plenty of photographs.  It wasn't until I started pulling supplies for the project that I read one of the "ingredients" is cotton knit sherpa which is the only item I needed to order.   If you happen to need some sherpa, I ordered mine from Nature's Fabrics.

supplies prepped

 The tutorial suggests using 6" squares.  Fabric, batting and sherpa is all you need.  I stitched a practice one using a 5" charm scrap and then made a bunch with a 6" charm pack (can you call it a charm pack if the squares aren't 5"?!) of Anna Maria Horner I had on hand.

gifts for friends

Two face fluffs tied with bakers twine onto a nice bottle of shower gel makes a quick and pretty gift for friends.  My thought was to pair the face fluffs with some fancy face wash, but I couldn't find it at my local go to fancy  gift shop ;-)

Do you have a go to handmade gift you recommend?  Please share.  Thanks for stopping by.
Happy stitching,
