Valentines Day (Kid's project)

Hi everyone... it's been a LONG time....so I'll just jump right into it.

My Boppa is now at the age where she is aware of Holidays. You may remember last year when we made an Easter Egg Mobile. This is very similar. This craft literally cost me $1.00.

SUPPLIES:

Heart Doilies from the Dollar Tree

Acrylic Paint in 3 colors

paint brushes

Scrapbook paper

Extra Frame (I used an 8x10)

The Boppa and i started out picking our colors and laying out the hearts out on the table.

We painted them how we wanted them and then once they were dry we laid them under a book to stop them from curling.

Then she picked out some scrapbook paper and cut it to size. After attaching some yarn to the hearts we made holes in the paper. I followed "the Boppa's" instructions on this matter but you can certainly even out the spaces if you were to do this on your own.

We are so happy with the results and used the extra hearts to decorate our windows. This took us about 3 hours in total but did it over two days so the paint could dry totally.

Hope you guys gals like it as much as we do!!

Preview of things to come

Last week my Boppa and I were out of town so didn't get to craft but we did start on our next project.....

... turning that old box (we are talking over 30 years old) into Boppa's new craft box... because EVERY GIRL NEEDS A CRAFT BOX right? We pulled on the blue vinyl off the box (and it's wood!!!) the other day, she picked out some scrapbook paper and we are going to Modge Podge it on sometime this week! I really can't wait.

Pictures of the After will arrive soon!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Crafts with kids

I have made it a goal to try and do crafts and things with my daughter at least once a week. Preschool seems to be out of the question for us (way too much money to go private) and we don't qualify for public so I want to try to take some time out of each week and work on some things with her. With Easter coming up I thought it would be fun to do an Egg Mobile. So I went on-line and typed in Easter Color pages and eggs and came out with 3 different sizes.

She colored them in on both sides and I cut them out for her.

I made this ring out of some extra cardboard I had (from other scrapbook purchases) by using 2 plates of different sizes. I punched holes in it and added the eggs to the holes with some left over yarn I had from yet another scrap-book project.

FINAL RESULT:

She was so excited to show her daddy. We hung it up in her room and she loves pointing it out to me. Definitely going to repeat this one with other holidays!

Don't you love how she did the whole thing in her princess dress?! Thanks for stopping by,
