Easter Rag Wreath

March 27, 2012 Kristen 2 Comments

Choosing pastel-hued fabric strips make your rag wreath a easy Easter decorating craft idea.

This is such an easy Easter decoration that you can commission your kiddies to help you create. The other great thing about this craft is that you can reuse fabrics (like bits of the kids clothes that are damaged and stained i.e. not good enough to give away) or finally find a productive project to

I love the bold look of this felt garland, use the bits of green felt you have leftover from other projects and get creative!

Here are two super-simple garland ideas for your St. Patrick’s Day festivities! Both garlands can be made with the help of your kids and can be stowed away to reuse year after blarney year! What I also love about these craft ideas is that they can be made using scraps–scraps of felt or fabric and

Create this cozy fireplace and stocking ornament by using sticky-back foam sheets and stocking stickers!

My Momma started a tradition when we were growing up: annual Christmas ornaments for each year. I guess there’s nothing really new there, many families have that tradition, but why not make it a family event by creating the ornament yourselves? My son was born in 2009, so he wasn’t much help with making the

Felt Christmas Stocking Project

December 07, 2011 Kristen 7 Comments

With Mia's stocking I added a cute little pink ribbon just below the hanger loop and did her name in contrasting blue embroidery floss!

There is no friendlier material to the amateur sewer than felt! And there is no fabric friendlier to your wallet either, especially during this expensive time of year. Christmas and felt go together like Frosty and Rudolph! Forget buying your tots their Christmas stockings at Target or Pottery Barn, and take a few hours to

Easy Paper Ornaments

What I love most about these ornaments is that they can be stored flat and they don't break!

This is an awesomely easy craft idea that is super-versatile: use these festive orbs on your Christmas tree or to decorate for a special occasion like a birthday or baby shower! I used Origami paper and glittered card stock for this version and I’ve used them to bedeck our Christmas tree and as decorations in

With just less than two days till Thanksgiving, one thing is for sure: the kiddies are home!

Fun Dia de los Muertos Craft Ideas

Honor your deceased family members with this compact altar box craft idea. Combine all into one larger box or make separate boxes for each.

Now that you know what Dia de los Muertos is you can start exposing your children to this cultural holiday by making some traditional crafts. Just like my attempts at finishing my Halloween crafts on time, I’m a little too late to get in on the dia de los Muertos fun, so these are some

There is no better way to get your children in the Halloween spirit than by making handmade decorations with them.

Milk cartons wraped in newspaper serve as the foundation of this super-easy Halloween haunted house.

I had SO many good intentions to finish my Halloween decoration crafts from last year.
