Sew up some quiet time with vintage lacing cards

Sew up some quiet time with vintage lacing cards
When my kids were younger, they adored lacing cards, though I can't say any of them had illustrations quite so adorable as the Lacing Cards from House 8810. What I do remember is how quietly and intently they would sew their cards, and how pleased they were with the final results. Unlike heavier wooden lace-up cards, this set of six cards is made of thick cardboard so it is lightweight enough to take it with you wherever you go. And with two needles and six cards in this set, a pair of kids can keep busy without having to wait for their turn. Meaning you'll have more time to visit with relatives this season, and not play defense between your kids and your Great Aunt's Hummel collection. Grab a set of Lace-Up Cards from House 8810 on their website.
