Sharing Some Fun Projects

I wanted to share these projects with you- maybe you can store the idea away until next holiday season! ☺ Some fun things we did w/ the kids class over the holidays- we made these foam magnet frames and the kids had fun embellishing them and framing their own artwork! Made great gifts too!

And here's a great idea from our local bakery (and SO yummy too!)

Ok, I LOVE these!! So cute, affordable, fun, great learning tool, and a perfect little gift or stocking stuffer! Made by the lovely Angela, check out her awesome shop SpoolofPlenty! She makes them in several fun styles as well as lots of other great items too!


My girls were so excited for their little gifts! I have a 2yo and a 4yo and both were equally thrilled! ☺

Kid's Project

My girls (ages 4 and 18 mos) made these frames in the craft room on our vacation awhile back, and I wanted to share the idea b/c I think it's fun and easy and turns out to be a great decoration or gift!

They used plain wood (some were varnished others were not) frames that you can pick up for around $1 a piece. They then used "tacky glue" (they poured some out on paper plates and let the smaller kids use paintbrushes to apply the glue!) to attach the clear flat-backed stones (the kind you buy in the mesh bags at the craft stores) all around the frame. It took awhile to dry but it dries clear and any excess glue can be washed away. The final results are so sparkly and pretty and I love that the craft ladies took pictures of the kids from that day for us to put in the frames!

I definately think we'll be doing this project again at home and maybe even for our next parent/child scrapbooking night too! (:

Super-duper cute! I just love these shoes, handmade by Krista of LoveBugBabyBoutique! She is so sweet and so are they baby shoes! She has several styles available and they are not only the cutest but super-affordable too! Be sure to pay her shop a visit, she has great selection including these wonderful woven ribbon headbands a favorite of mine!

I just love these great interactive Snuggle Squares toy made by Chantel of MySunshineDesigns- what a great use of ribbon, textures, colors and fun! (: They would be such a great baby gift and fun for toddlers too and a great on-the-go toy! She has lots of different styles, but I love the guitar one!

Inspiring, isn't it!?

Kid's Project Idea

My 4yo daughter loves anything crafty and this was a fun project for her-- I let her use some day-old cold coffee (tea works too!) to "dye" her coloring papers and notebook paper! She didn't soak it too long so it was a light yellow-brown shade but she had fun trying different techniques like tearing the paper and crumpling it up and folding it to see the variations.Happy Crafting!

I love this children's ribbon belt made by Chantel of My Sunshine Designs using some of the blue and white striped ribbon from my shop and A LOT of talent!! I love the D-ring belts for my little girl b/c they grow with her and are much more adjustable than regular belts. And this one is way sturdier & so much cuter than the flimsy one we have so I'll be buying one soon!
