With SPring around the corner and all the Holidays that join it here is a great craft!<br /><br />You need:<br />Toilet paper tubes ( or Paper towel tubes) cut into 1 inch circles<br /> I like 6 per person<br />Tissue paper, magazines, even newsprint! Tear and cut into small pieces<br />White glue<br />Paint brushes<br />small containers<br /><br />Mix a small amount of glue, 1 - 2 tblsp with a few drips of water and stir.<br />Paint glue mix in a small area and apply paper in a collage type format covering whole circle. Coat with glue all over. Let dry. These make fun napkin rings for your next dinner! Make enough for guests to take it home!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3310956406893002637-2726999560196663391?l=handson4kidz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CraftyMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11015951597375408470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3310956406893002637.post-62294755202461152272010-01-25T06:11:00.001-08:002010-01-25T06:14:05.929-08:00Ok...No one is reading my blog. I am not sure how to correct that but will attempt to get it out there. <br />Valentines Day is fast approaching. We tend to overthink this day. A simple handmede heart shaped I love you is always the best! For the parent who travels, try sticking pictures in the suitcase!<br /><br />The older child can make coupons good for free hugs, newspaper retrieval even for a date to watch a sports event on tv! Moms and Dads, even grandparents love these gifts. They are inexpensive and best of all, straight from the heart!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3310956406893002637-6229475520246115227?l=handson4kidz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CraftyMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11015951597375408470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3310956406893002637.post-37989157711847626492009-12-21T12:53:00.000-08:002009-12-21T12:57:11.303-08:00Try this one on for even the little bits in our lives!<br />You will need:<br />1 Toilet Paper Tube<br />Glue<br />Ribbon, yarn or string<br />paint,glitter,sequins (WHATEVER you might have) even markers<br />Cut 5 rings from tube<br />Glue together in a flower type shape, smooth side to smooth side until it looks like a flower!<br /><br />Let dry( approx 15 minutes)<br />Then paint or decorate, put a ribbon on it!<br /><br />Paint it red to make a Poinsetta or white for a pretty snow flake!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3310956406893002637-3798915771184762649?l=handson4kidz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CraftyMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11015951597375408470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3310956406893002637.post-73337460421604574632009-12-11T10:49:00.000-08:002009-12-11T11:00:30.146-08:00<div>Happy Holidays! Such an ominous statement. We find ourselves questioning whether we offend when stating it or is it just not enough. In the world of Children where I reside Merry Christmas is the generally accepted term. I have found myself this year offering Holiday Deals and Holiday Classes. Hmmm, well enough about that subject.</div> <br /><div>My purpose for starting a blog is to offer ideas and solutions to common occurances and frequent questions. I have been gathering for a while some intersting items and many sets of directions in the hopes of beginning a Book of 3 R's. Reduce, recycle and Renew! for Crafters. My answer to all of it is to start a blog where I hope I can convey the trials , tribulations and directions to some very unoque, kid friendly uses for our everyday household trash.</div> <br /><div>So stay tuned as I refine my blogging talents. Please bear with me and please...Feedback is of the utmost importance!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3310956406893002637-7333746042160457463?l=handson4kidz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CraftyMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11015951597375408470noreply@blogger.com0
