My son looking not to impressed holding the said heart flowers.
I really like these they are sooo easy to make that even my 3 1/2 year old made them with a little help from mummy!

Cut out 3 hearts


Stick them together by gluing the points of the hearts


Just to prove that it wasn't me who did it all Dylan having a go


Ta daa!!!

Coffee stirrer picture frame.
 

This is a great pretty much free and easy picture frame to make and is another great idea for Mother's Day.
You will need to get your hands on the wooden stirrers that you can get from countless coffee shops or fast food restaurants.
Now can I be clear I am not asking you to go and wipe them out of these but I'm sure 8 won't hurt as long as you don't all go to the same place!


Put two of the stirrers together and glue a piece of card to the back to secure them, make sure you can't see the card from the front. Do the same to the other 3 pairs.
 

Once you have stuck them together arrange them how far apart etc. you want them to be and them glue all four parts together.


When that is done cut a piece of card that will fit over the back of the stirrers but again isn't visible from the front and glue down REMEMBER to leave one side without glue as this is where your photo will slot in.


Now you can decorate how you like, below are just a few ideas for Mother's day.
This is also good for Father's Day, birthday gifts and anything else for that matter.
Right go wild and design crazy!!

It's a boy!

Scrap craft bracelet

Scrap craft bracelet.



Ever been looking through these craft blogs and thought,
well that's all well and good but it means I have to go out and buy all the stuff to make it!
Well this is a craft that I thought you may well just have these things already in the house and just not doing anything.
So you know the bits of ribbon you get in tops that your meant to hang them up with well this uses those and at the most 5 beads, and if I am not mistaken most ladies have a few of these hanging about and if not they have a bead necklace in a draw somewhere doing nothing and looking ugly!




Right now you have these two things lets go...
Cut the ribbons out of the top, not to close to the stitching as you don't want a hole in your top!
grab the beads and start threading.


Done that? Right well, your done!
Tie it to your wrist and away you go and wait for all the great comments you will get about your fabulous new item of jewellery!!!
Also in keeping with the season, Mother's day gift? Get the kids to make it it's as easy as 1 2 3 !


Wondered about the other piece of ribbon? Thinking oh well she's made one what about the other??
Well of course being the crafty bitch that I am I made two!!!
