Here is how I made this embroidered gift box. I printed out the pattern, taped it to the top of the box and poked a hole through every dot. Then I got my embroider on. To add the stitching around the elephant, I just made random stitches, poking holes as I went. To finish, I painted my simple frame with a couple coats of grey acrylic paint.

Here were my criteria in making this list:1. It’s worth mentioning that babies often find objects around the home to be more fascinating than store-bought, professionally crafted toys. Remember, too, that as great as toys are these days, YOU are your baby’s best teacher. Alright, here we go!
