Mason Jar Pincushion

Yay! My new pincushion! You can find the tutorial at here at Suzanne's Crazy for Collars. It was super easy :)

Name Wall Hangings

Name wall hangings for my babies!

You will need:

-Wooden letters

-Puff Paint

-Acrylic paints

-Staple gun

First, paint your letters.

Then I used the puff paint as an outline. Let dry.

Staple the ribbon to the back of the letters and hang up!

Cupcake Fun

Last week was my sister-in-law's birthday dinner with my family and I was in charge of the cupcakes! I didn't have much time so I just did the box cake mix and frosting. But I wanted to make the cupcakes a little more festive then just some sprinkles.. So since my SIL is soo funny, I wanted to make these little picture sign things with some goofy pictures of her :)

You will need:
-A bunch of pictures from your computer
-Printer paper
-Construction or just colored paper
-Scissors
-Glue {Glue stick works best}
-Toothpicks

First I had to round up all the pictures I wanted on my computer, re-size & crop them, then print them out. {Note to self: Next time print them out on thicker paper then regular printer paper} Draw a circle on each picture and cut them out.

Cut out {preferably with zig-zag scissors} bigger circles then the pictures with a colored paper. I used colored printer paper but it would've come out better with construction paper..

Glue pictures to colored circles.

On the back side: Glue one end of the toothpick and another circle the same size as the pictures.

Once the glue drys, stick the opposite end of toothpicks into the cupcakes and you're done!

Happy Birthday Andi!

Easy Bath Toys

All you need is a pack of sponges and dental floss {that's what I was told to use but after making these, I'd recommend using a thin rubber band to keep them together}.

Take out your pack of sponges and cut them into slices... Use the dental floss {doubled up} to tie them together...
And done!! Really easy-to-make bath toys!

Toy Blocks

I believe I got the idea for this from Dejavu Crafts but I'm not sure.. Anyways, all you'll need is cardboard boxes {various sizes} from the dollar store, glue, paint & paint brushes.

The first thing I did was glue the lids to the boxes. I used a hot glue gun.

Then I painted the boxes. You can paint them any color and any way possible :)
Then I decorated each side a different way..
Let dry and they're ready for playtime! :)
My daughter loved them and they were fun for mommy to make :)
