I want to make/craft something for my younger brother's birthday. Any ideas???

Question

I am 28 and my younger brother is turning 27 at the end of this month. I want to get him a cool gift, but a) i don't have a ton of money to spend and b) i would love to make him something really special/personable, and I think he would really appreciate it. Any thoughts or ideas for crafty stuff to make for guys? THANK YOU!

Answer 1

I think this depends on his interests.. what is he into? Also what you are into craftwise, you know?

or you could make him a little special scrapbook of just you two if you are close, like little kid pictures, something he can look at and think of you guys. <shrug> all siblings love eventually to look back and smile about the good old days. hehe

Answer 2

how about sewing little bean bags and filling them with beans as juggling bags?  cut your fabric approx 3" by 4" and use 1/4" seams.  don't fill them too full or they will be hard to catch.  

then you can go online and print off instructions on how to juggle.  

i did this for my brother in law one year when we were broke and he loved it.  i used fabric that had been his grandmother's.  you could use a fabric that had "special meaning" (mom's old kitchen apron, a cool shirt he always loved but is too ratty to wear now, old jeans.  use your imagination).  i made a matching drawstring bag to keep the juggle bags in.
