 I just used photo sleeves I already had- and they already had two holes punched in the top of each.

 Next, I cut the colored paper to fit inside the photo sleeve.

 I used this website to print these letters.

I clicked on the link that says "Name and Sentence Print Worksheets".

You kind of have to mess around with the scale when you print them, so they print to the right size.

After they were all printed, I cut them out to the sizes I needed them.

 Next, I glued each letter and number onto a piece of the colored paper I already cut.

 I then slipped each card into a photo sleeve.

 Tada!

Porter already loves it. He gets a little frustrated and I have to hold his hand and help him trace, but hopefully over time he'll get the hang of holding the marker correctly and be able to do it himself!

 Depending on the app you're searching for, usually you'll get tons of options to choose from.

 Tap one you like, and it'll take you to the below page.

I always tap the heart next to Like! because it'll add the icon to your list of icons you Like!

 Here's your MyPage (I tapped on the MyPage icon at the bottom of the screen to get here).

Here you can manage the icons you like and so forth.

 So now i've tapped on the Facebook icon.

From here, tap "set up link".

 Facebook happens to be first on the list, but you can also type in the app you're looking for.

Not every single app that exists is on here, but there are def a ton.

 After I tapped "Facebook", it brings you to these options.

You can add a glossy look to the icon (which I always do) and change the name.

Tap "OK".

 This will pop up on your screen.

Tap yes.

 When you tap the box with the arrow, this pops up.

Tap the center option, the one that says "Add to Home Screen".

 This screen pops up.

Tap "Add" in the upper righthand corner.

 Once you've tapped add, it will add the icon to your home screen.

Move it wherever you want it to be!

Viola!

Beautiful, unique icons!

Once all of the star pieces are cut out, pin two to each other.

Repeat until they're all pinned.

Sew around each star, leaving about 3/4 an inch between the seam and the edge of the fabric.

Leave a 5 inch opening unsewn so you can stuff the pillow (shown in two pictures down).

Stuff.

I used about 1 1/2 50 gram bags of stuffing for 5 pillows.

Once the pillow is stuffed completely,

push the stuffing down into the star from the triangle that has the opening.

This way you can sew the opening shut using your machine and the stuffing won't get in the way.

Afterwards, I shook the star with the unstuffed triangle facing down in order to fill it back up.

Then I kind of pushed the stuffing around to even it all out.
