Wands for kids

When crafting I like to see and try new things. so when i have time i like to get together with my friends and see what we have crafted. these were crafted by a good friend of mine and given to me. you could also use these using straws for the handles, or wooden dowels. these were made with the dowels(plastic) from window blinds, wooden stars, painted your choice of colors. add ribbon, and your done. makes great kids gits or even party favors. also use tulle netting for the tops of wands. lots of fun to be had with these cute wands.

Pic Holder

I made this cute pic holder using items from around the house. I put them together and made this cute inexpensive pic holder, they can be expensive in stores, so this is way much better and fun to do. you need small clay pot,some paint and a wire pic holder, mine came from a cake that held my birthday note.and some plaster paris and some ribbon for your bow and some moss. and this is what you get.

Drink Pouch Book Mark

If your a mom and your drinks drink any of the capri sun drinks, or kool-aid drinks, keeps the pouches and turn them into cute bookmarks, great for readers everwhere. we love to make these monthly, you get a different one each time. fold into 3's glue the 2 flaps down and laminate. add your ribbon and your done.

Q-Tip Snowflake

I love to sit and craft for the holidays, this was a challenge for me that I had to come up with, as I looked around my house hold things, I needed to figure how and wht I would use for a holiday fast craft. and since I like snowflakes, I came up with these cute q-tip snowflakes.they ere cheap and come in a box of 100 or 500, so a few was not going to hurt me.lol these took about 5 minutes to make and add glitter to, and they are very cute on any tree, or add to a gift bag, or just hang around your home.
So using what you already have at home is what's fun. if you have q-tips your not going to use, let kids make these cute snowflakes. make several with different colors, this one is silver. choose any color of glitter and make several in different colors. Happy Crafting!

Recycled Kool-aid packs

We all try to recycle as much as possible, so to get you started, here is an idea I have come up, if you have kids who like to drink kool-aid, then you surely will have kool aid packs laying around, if not then you need to start keeping them for making book marks, they are small but very useful for those book readers,kids who love to read are always looking for cute and neat book marks, and well these are unique and very cute to use.

Materials:
Kool aid packet
glue stick
hole punch
ribbon
laminater/wide clear tape

Make sure pack is clear of kool-sid powder
fold 2 times boths ends toward the middle over lapping.
glue your flaps closed
snip top off just a bit to make even
use clear tape or laminate it
punch your hole at top
run ribbon through and your done
add decorations to front if you like or keep as is.

give as a gift or keep. it's fun and quick to make and kids love it.

Recycling

I'm a crafter at heart who loves to craft. I love to recycle whatever and anything I can, if I can find something in something that will be thrown away then I will do my best to give it a new look and turn it into something new and beautiful or at least something that is keepable. recycling begins with putting your mind to work, let your imagination take over and see what will come from a throw away. you can, and always will amaze yourself as to what comes from your imagination when you craft from something that can be recycled.I use everything from a pen cap all the way to a paper towel tube, lightbulbs,pie pans,napkins and even the cellophane bags you might get when you purchase a CD or maybe a pack of stickers. I will share my crafts and my recycled crafts and idea's with you, and I hope it will help others to think before tossing out that creative crafting project.
