Every so often inspiration strikes and I suddenly decide that I must make a bunch of sparkly felt crowns, or cut up close to almost every t-shirt in the house for a rug. Most of the time I will do it with my kids, but let’s face it, when I feel like making shiny things, I am on my own. A slightly nutty woman with scissors and a glue gun.
In any case, I make different crafts all the time. I think often it is a form of stress relieve for me. When I am too busy, and too stressed out to do a painting, or too lazy to get my jewelry supplies out, I turn to fun little, frequently sparkly, crafts. Sometimes my boys join me, and sometimes not so much. Here they all are, some wonderful craft tutorials to do with your kids, or on your own!
