Facebook6Tweet0Pin13

Are you looking for an easy sewing project for your kids or students that’s perfect for Mothers Day or Valentines Day or any day really? Well then this DIY speech bubble sewing project might just be what you’re looking for.

Glue on a magnet and it can live on your fridge to hold important notes. Fridge magnets do seem to be an almost universal addition to every fridge. And why not…they’re useful…and are often a small reminder of a recent vacation…and they can also be a simple gift for kids to sew.

You’ll find instructions for two slightly different speech bubbles below. The step by step photos for one and the video tutorial for a slightly different speech bubble. Both are easy sewing projects and a lovely handmade gift to give to a loved one.
