I needed a gift for a couple of boys and went again to the Celebrate the Boy archives on Made by Rae and MADE. Dana and Rae do a month long group of tutorials from all over the web once a year or so. It’s great if you need to sew for boys – there’s so much out there for girls, and almost nothing for the boys.
This is the second time I have made these Trinket Keepers from Amazing Mae. If you add in a toy car it makes a little cute gift that doesn’t take hours to make. I happened to have some scraps of car fabric hanging around that worked perfectly for this.
These are great because they can hook the carabiner onto their backpacks or belt loops and take all of their important things with them. The tutorial has different size options and suggestions for holding different things. Super helpful and super fast.
