sea of red vests

My scout projects a sea of red vests and book covers for there scout books.

I Love to make things for people even if I can afford to buy something so I have been spending some time trying to get some projects done. In the middle of all this I am a boy scout leader over the wolf pack they are the greatest rowdiest group of 8 year old you have ever seen. Every year I make red vests so they can display their awards on them. The scout office charges $12 for them and they cost us just over $1 to make them. With 12 boys that is that is a savings of about $130. The problem is I always make them in December. I get so overwhelmed. and I always have extra scraps that I don't want to throw away but I also don't want to store them. I got real excited when My friend Tylynn Showed me this snowman candy wrapper it was perfect to use the scraps on. I think we will have the boys make them next week in scouts. They are real simple it is a red hat and scarf out of felt. It is a candy bar wrapped in white card stock buttons for eyes and buttons. The nose is orange paper. You could use markers or paper for the eyes and buttons.
