Crafts Using Old High School Jacket

By Linda. (Guest Post)

Make a Christmas stocking with his name on it, then fill it with memories and goodies. What a treat and he will be able to use it for years.

Use it in a quilt with the big important part as the center or use it in a quilt with the son's baby clothes or a throw pillow or it could be used as part of a quilted bean bag cover. Good luck

When my husband died many years ago, a friend took his bathrobe and made each of the children a small bear from the material, plus one for me. Plus she took an almost new Army sweatshirt and made a bear for our first great grandson.

How old is his son? Perhaps you could cut the jacket down to fit him and when he outgrows it it would be a smaller item to frame or make into a throw pillow.

Put the important part into a picture frame?

Why don't you frame the jacket in a large frame. Then hang on the wall.
