Personal Progress Book Holder
One of the gifts that Sam made for Nayna was this Personal Progress Book Holder. It folds out, having three pockets for Personal Progress book and journal, For the Strength of Youth pamphlet, and the Young Women Camp manuals. Nayna also has a small Book of Mormon in hers.
I found instructions on how to make them here. I decided to make one to try out the instructions. These instructions call for two pieces of fabric and Sam made the one above with only one piece. Obviously the two pieces takes longer, but I like how it turned out.
My fabric is not as cute as Nayna's. I just used left over scraps from the pioneer clothing we made for past treks. I was thinking it would even be cute to make patchwork covers with any scraps we have around. I was thinking it would be cute to personalize them with buttons, appliqué flowers, their name, etc.
I definitely want to do this as a Young Women activity with my Beehives. They all complained about how they can't find their books. Maybe this will help. ;-)
We've done a homemade Christmas for the last four years. It will continue that way. These are absolutely nifty! Filing the idea away for future use.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a GREAT idea! We have decided to have a Homemade Christmas this year, too! My boys would like Stick Ponies from Santa, and my daughter wants a "Stick Unicorn". I learned how to make Rag Dolls, last night, from a friend of mine and they are super cute! My kids think they're great because these are the kinds of dolls that Laura and Mary had in the Little House series! I'll let ya' know what I come up with! :D)
ReplyDeleteThose books are a great idea! I want to make them! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the project, I love it. I will be making some of them myself. Our ward encouraged the moms to really work with their girls but on their own personal progress, so I will be using mine a great deal...I hope. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteRanee - I made stick ponies for my kids one year out of old jeans. You just use one leg, so you can get two ponies out of one pair of jeans. The girls loved them!
ReplyDeleteYes - all mothers are invited to work on Personal Progress along with the youth. It is such an awesome program! The church is coming out with an online Personal Progress tracking website soon. I think it is going to be awesome!
