[...] a gift turns out to be more expensive than buying it pre-made. That’s what happened with our jumpropes. : [...]

Jumproping IS awesome. What a great gift idea for any little girl (or boy, for that matter).

Just wanted to say that my 5 year old son and I have been busily making sibling gifts for his two brothers and sister. Great tradition beginning. Also a question. Are you related to Maude Adams, the famous stage actress of the late 1800s/early 1900s? She was the inspiration behind James Barrie's Peter Pan.

I really love your homemade sibling gifts! I'm going to use that idea as soon as I have more than one kid. :) I'm right in the middle of my own handmade holiday right now and I'm having a ball!

Thanks for the inspiration! My boys are 2 and 4 and we just finished our sibling gifts. The 2 yr old and I made recycled crayons for his brother, and the 4 yr old colored a dinosaur on a swatch of fabric and I sewed it onto a brown hoodie. They turned out great! AND were great fun to create.

My daughters want jump ropes too! Perfect for my little man to make! We are also doing the flower headband and painted tote bags.

Next year I am going to get organized and help the kids make presents for each other. I love it. I better start planning now; for some reason when the time comes it doesn't happen.

my son really wanted a jump rope so I got him one for Christmas for $1 at Target.

I am so impressed. My 2 girls asked for jump ropes this year too, but theirs were just purchased from the store. (Lame.) Why can't I be more creative?

My girls are making gifts for each other this year, but the only idea I had was have them make those fleece blankets by cutting the fringe and tying the knots around the edges. So they're secretly making each other identical gifts. . . out of different fabric, of course.

Next year I will have so many more great ideas to work with. Thanks!

The handles are awesome, I especially like the cross-hatch. What width of rope did they use and how long did they cut for 'long' ropes?
I love your homemade gift ideas and tradition. Here is an idea for the future, I just made 5 myself and I love them:
