I can't take credit for them, Dotcom is the one that showed how to make them. I just copied her idea and made some for to hand out at a quilting retreat that I was attending. I loved her idea and they were so much fun to make.

I had luck the last craft fair with keychains like this. I sold them for $4 each. I used to have a website before I got married and moved, and I sold them for $4 plus $1 shipping.

Excuse the picture, was taken with my cell phone.

try the chickens that the lady posted the site just this week. It is supposed to hold a page on a cook book while you're trying to read it, but last night I made two, one that didn't stand up, so I did the next one like I was making a purse and cut a tine square off the bottom corners and it sits up nicely and I'm going to use them as pincushions.....really cute. I have ten more I'm going to make and use as happies for the secret pal swap

Cute little book markers- Would be ideal for ladies to get for their secret sisters to put in their Bibles. :)

Hair accessories, Bible covers, Hot pads for placing hot dishes onto your counters/table, casserole dish carriers, doll quilts for little girls.

Good luck!! :thumbup:

I didn't read all of these but Kindle bags and covers are big right now. There's also bookmarks, monkeys and animals seem to be big right now---either made from socks or just looking like sock monkeys and appliqued on other things like book covers, purses, tote bags, etc. Run a search on here for Crock Pot Cosy---it's a potholder design specifically for lids.
