No rest for the creative...........

A few things that caught my eye.  Thought you might enjoy them, too.  Just an FYI, I'm not always sure where the images come from.  Sometimes people (lovely people!) send me images on FB with warm notes that say "I thought you might like this!" Other times I see things on Pinterest or just hopping around the web.  I do try my best to give you the original sources when the ideas are not my own.  Have a wonderful day everyone! 

DoverPublications.com has a wonderful array of clip art books with these flowers.  Copy them on sticker paper, cut them out and coat with Minwax Polycrylic for a perfect finish.  ACultivatedNest.com

I like the idea of this very much.  AtticMagazine.com

I know that you think this would be good for a kid's room, but I'm thinking this would be much more fun in my house.  Of course I would use my favorite colors of KRYLON spray paint. SweetSugarMama.com

I can't figure out where I got this image!  It reminds me of the opening of the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

What an elegant way to use old wine bottles.  ACultivatedNest.com

Birds with paper crowns covered in glitter.  From Dollar Store Crafts.  I want tons of these all over my house in all different colors.  

SIMPLE KIDS PROJECT

SUMMER is quickly approaching and it's time to get some projects together so that the kiddos don't spend 3 months in front of the television or on a computer!  Did you know that creativity helps kids develop problem solving skills?  Just sayin'

These ZIP TIE LINK BRACELETS are a fun, easy project that everyone can enjoy and make their own.  Add beads, use more than one link. Go nuts.

 

YOU’LL NEED

Nylon zip ties in different colors (or black and white)

Scissors

2 jump rings

1 large lobster claw

HERE’S HOW

1.    Make your first link in a size you like.  This will determine the size you cut your other zip ties.

2.    Cut your zip ties to size (ooh, that rhymes)

3.    Slip the end of the zip tie through a finished link and keep it going until you have enough to fit around your wrist.

4.    Add a jump ring to one end.

5.    Add a jump ring with the lobster claw to the other end so you can close it.

 This and over 150 more projects in
