One of my favorite items to pack in an Operation Christmas Child shoebox is something I have made. And because I enjoy designing my own patterns, I have written tutorials to share. They include sewn, no-sew, crochet and upcycled. Each crafting for OCC shoeboxes tutorial has step by step, illustrated instructions.
I also enjoy sending extra crafted items to the Operation Christmas Child processing centers as fillers. If you are interested in donating handcrafted items directly to OCC click the banner on the right.
I've included some of my finished projects for shoeboxes at the bottom.
You can also find more inspiration and DIY tutorials thru the links on our Craft Linkies Page. Many crafters share free instructions and
patterns.

Thank you so much for doing this. It is awesome! Makes it so convenient and easy to find all the nice things we can make, thus saving time...time that could be used for crafting things for the children. What a blessing you are!
ReplyDeleteLove how you think, Pam! :-) More time for crafting!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright and happy collection of projects - so (or should I say "sew"?!) inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Crafting for Shoeboxes. They are "sew" fun to make.
