Well, it is another holiday weekend and things have been crazy! I have found some time to craft. I made someone two shirts for their 4th of July Celebration. It was the first time I worked with felt but it turned out cute. Hobby Lobby is my favorite place to get my crafting supplies. I got two shirts and felt for $7.00. I had the other supplies that I need for the project already. I cut out stars from the felt and used fabric glue to hold them in place. I then stitched around all the stars. Something I will have to master but they still look fine. Then with fabric paint, I wrote out the requested message. It took about 3 hours total to make these and 24 hrs for the paint to dry completely.
While I was at Hobby Lobby, I found a small pack of clay for $3.99. It did not require baking. My kiddos were so excited to play with this. You can get a little bit of water on your fingers to mold it better. Since we have a giant tub of play dough with cutters, we pulled the cutters out. After they molded their clay a million times and were finished, I poked a hole in the top of their clay with a pencil. Once the clay dried, about 24 hrs, the kiddos painted their shapes with acrylic paint. Now we can put ribbon through hole and hang them on the wall. Very inexpensive and we got two days of projects out of it. My kids asked when we could buy more clay. They loved it!
I am attempting to make a pinata. We will see how that goes and I will post the end results. Not sure what it will be yet. I am thinking a skull and cross bones. My son will be 7 next week and he is having a skate party at the skate park. I need something that will tie into that theme. I couldn't find anything at the store that would even come close and I decided I would make my own. Any chance I have to make something myself, I am all over it.
