Let’s Make It!


Maine house/diyThis clever and cute creation has been hanging on my door for several weeks, and every time I look at it I think what a wonderfully simple idea this is that anyone could do.

Let’s take a closer look to see how it’s done.  

diyBegin with a pair of toddler overalls. Dab with paint and for fun add a few patches.  I’d iron them on with stitch witchery.  Tie the legs with twine, stuff the overalls with polyester filling and finish the overalls off with seasonal items.  That’s all there is to it.

Now, let your imagination run wild.  What changes can you see for Christmas, Valentine’s, Easter, July 4…..heck, any other holiday?  As for me, I’m already imagining candy canes, a stuffed bear with a big red ribbon, pinecones and nuts falling out of the top of the overalls.  

How is yours going to look?

I would love to give credit to the person who came up with this idea, but I don’t know who it is.

i so appreciate your visit and the comments you leave behind

  10. We made one of those a few years back and we stuffed it with crumpled up newspaper. They were overalls from the kids and we picked up some Halloween decorations at the local dollar store. It was so cute. I may have to do that again!! Thanks for the reminder!

  11. I remember when you found this item on one of your shopping outings and how it caught your eye. Did not realize you purchased it. Very Cute!!
