DIY Fobbie for Knitter's Gift

This Fobbie® was created for a knitter. I took a DIY Fobbie® and then some of the wrapping paper I used on the package. I decided where the fobbie would go on the package and made the paper match up with the pattern on the Fobbie®. I used some spray mount to attach it and then trimmed off the excess and slot holes. I got some pretty purple circular knitting needles, to be an extra gift. I punched a couple of holes in the Fobbie® so I could thread some of the same accent ribbon I used on the package, to attach the needles with a bow. DIY Fobbies® are great for customizing and adding an extra gift.

Snowman Fobbies

These snowman Fobbies were sent to us from Patti Skoviak of Fort Collins, Colorado. She used some snowman stickers to decorate a do-it-yourself Fobbie. Thanks Patti!

Holiday Fobbie Idea

I saw these holiday stickers and thought they would make great decor for a Fobbie. I used Adirondack alcohol inks to create the marbled effect. On one I used a sponge and some metallic stamp pad ink to give it some sparkle, and then put the sticker on. I think they will make for some elegant wrapping.

Send Us Your Fobbie Joke

While I was attending the National Stationary Show my friends back home decided to entertain me through text messaging.
They had me in stitches coming up with Fobbie jokes. Other friends said I should post them, and encourage others to submit their own. Here's what they came up with: What did one Fobbie say to the other Fobbie at the bar? Let's tie one on! What's the Fobbie's favorite movie? A ribbon runs through it!

So the challenge is on! Send us your Fobbie joke.

Ways to Use the Fobbie® as Wedding Decor

When I was at the National Stationary Show a great website called GetMarried.com came to visit. Get Married is on Lifetime television, Monday through Friday. We discussed ways you could use the Fobbie® to decorate your wedding. I had so many ideas that I had to create a bunch of alternative uses. I came up with using them as napkin wraps, table numbers, chair and favor wraps, centerpieces and of course gift wrapping. Check out the Fobbie® inspiration page for more pictures.
