Supplies

Plastic Canvas- they come in all colors

Felt

Ribbon

Craft thread or floss

Big eyed sewing needle

Embellishments

Hot glue gun and glue sticks

　

Instructions
I cut my plastic canvas down just a little so it can sit on a table or your Childs lap and they can play with it.
For the houses on the canvas I cut my strips 8 of the little squares which is about 1 ½ inches wide and then depending on how big you want your house cut and sew.
I like to sew all my little houses down really well and then use the hot glue to cover the sewing and then it will last a long time.
For the roads I like to cut a strip of the canvas and sew it down or you can just cut some felt to create the roads and that’s cute as well.
Time to decorate the top of the houses with ribbon, buttons or what ever you’d like
If you want a wall around the whole little village just cut a strip of canvas and sews it on to the edge of the bottom them I like to use my Duct Tape and cover the out side.

This is such a fun little village that your kids will play with for hours and you can take it anywhere if you need something to keep them entertained.

Have so much fun creating!!!

Cutest Aprons ever

Supplies                                   Yes that is Regan under that little Apron

Any plastic bag from the craft store

Ribbon

Glue gun

Duct Tape

Buttons and Embellishments

Fun scissors

Fabric and Paper glue

 

Instructions

1.     Cut down the sides of the bag leaving the bottom attached you should have two pieces each with a handle at the top.

2.     Cut the sides off right by the stitching on the bag.

3.     Save the sides for the pockets.

4.     About ¼ of the way down cut a smile shape to form a place for your arms.

5.     About half way down I cut 1 yard of ribbon and sewed it to the sides.

6.     For the pocket you can cut out some of the cute designs from the left over bag and hot glue or sew it to the Apron.

7.     I used some Duct Tape around the edge.  

Tips

·       There are some really darling bags at the craft stores and the dollar store

·       You can make two aprons out of one bag.

·       I did sew on the ribbon at the sides of the apron because I wanted mine to last longer but the glue gun does work just fine.

·       Also this is a fun craft for the kids to help with they can embellish them to fit them

HAPPY CRAFTING!

 

PVC Bow and Arrow

 

Supplies

½ inch PVC pipe

Duct Tape

Pipe glue

Nylon Rope

Scissors

½ inch Foam pipe covers

Embossing tool

Sand paper

Erasers

 

Instructions

1.      Cut your pipe into 3 equal pieces

2.      Heat up the PVC pipe in the middle it only takes a few minutes. Next bend it to the shape that you want be careful it’s HOT!

3.      Cut your Foam pipe cover about 6 inches and slide onto the middle of the Bow.

4.      Cut a one inch notch into the ends of the pipe. I used my scroll saw. Next place the knot into the slit. Pull tight and make sure the end won’t slip or come out.

5.      Sand the edges where you cut the PVC pipe so it’s smooth.

6.      Cut enough string so you have enough to tie a knot at each end of the bow and burn it so it won’t fray.

7.      Wrap Duct tape around each end of the Bow over the string so it won’t pop out.

8.      Add Duct tape around the foam so it keeps it in place. Now you can decorate your bow any way you like.

9.      I cut my dowels into 16 inches that seems to work good for my Arrows. I cut a slit in the end to fit over the string.

10.   For the end of the Arrow I glued on erasers and wrapped Duct Tape around to hold it tight.

 

Tips

·        One 10’ PVC pipe will make 3 bows. Cut it into three equal pieces.

·        Pull your string really tight and leave extra just in case you need to tighten it later.

·        It takes lots of practice but you will master it and have hours of fun.

Busy books for your "Bitty ones"

I have 36 6x6 pages of precious people in my life that will keep my "Bitty bums"
busy looking at them and their cousins for hours
this has been so much fun to create

Busy books for your “Bitty bums”

This would be great for grand children that have Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles that live far away.

Supplies needed for this fun project

• Your favorite paper
• Photos 2 of each photo you will be using
• Stickers and letters
• Glue Stick
• 6 by 6 Page protectors
• Ribbon
• Metal rings for your book
• Glue gun , and your fav glue sticks
• Velcro they have black or white
• laminate or contact paper

Instructions for this priceless project

1.This is such a fun way to use your favorite photos, paper stickers into busy books that will last for a life time
First you have to have doubles of what ever you’re using for example 2 of each photo, sticker or animal
2. cut your paper to fit inside your page pocket you can get 4 pages out of one sheet of 12 by 12
3. create your page and glue your photo on the paper and slide it into the pocket
4. I used the glossy Laminate sheets and ONLY laminate the top of the shape or the glue won’t stick to the back when you glue the Velcro on (Vie tried and it doesn’t work)
5. Cut the shape out around the out side and its ready to put into the keepsake envelope
6. with the hot glue gun I glued Velcro to the back of the photo and the other piece of the Velcro glue to the page protector on the out side
7. This will make such a fun matching game , my bitty bums LOVE it
8.use bright fun colored ribbon to tie the pages together or you can use rings. If you have binders that are ready for your pages that would be great to

All your fav photos in a book that will keep your bitty ones busy for hours
a little paper, ribbon and glue could never be so much fun.



As you can see I made the 6 by 6 page just like I would do for my scrapbook, then slipped it into the page protector
 then I cut out the photo of Carsten, ran it through my laminter (or use contact paper) trim around the edges
and glued the Velcro on the back.
put it on the other photo so I know where to put the other part of the Velcro
