Make a Toy Toolbelt from a Place mat

Continuing on with the place mat crafts, here is another one for boys that takes 10 minutes to make. I used another dollar store place mat. Note: make sure you pre-wash place mats from the dollar store. I am so glad I did this. Some of them have colors that bleed, and they are so much softer and easier to work with after washing.

Here is what you need to make a super-cute-and-super-easy toy tool belt for your little guy.

Instructions:

Sew the sides. You can sew right sides together and flip it, or the edges are already finished, since it is a place mat, so you can just sew the edges. I sewed right sides together, sewing my hammer loop into the seam, and flipped it inside out. Then I simply sewed some straight lines to form pockets, and added a strap (with some stuff I already had) and some Velcro so my little guy could wear it.

Now I'm off to make another one so there is "no fighting" over it...and heaven knows we have more than enough toy tools around here! More placemat/boy crafts to come! And I'm finally linking something up with Get your Craft On on Today's Creative Blog.
