FaveCrafts 365 Chipboard, Cardboard, and a Little Watercolor Paper!

April 25, 2011 by Maria

And I guess I should add foam board and mat board in the mix! What the heck is the difference between this one and that one? Just watch the video! You might want to learn a little more about chipboard as it’s part of a very exciting new technique around town! I might have to just do a FaveCrafts 365 dedicated to this new, exciting technique I noticed while shopping at my local craft store the other day! But for now, check out the video!

My 5 Favorite Decorative Wreath Crafts

August 12, 2009 by FaveCrafts

Homemade wreath are a fun way to decorate any door or wall of the home, and normally the materials are very inexpensive. As I already mentioned here at the blog, crochet offers many opportunities for holiday wreaths. Even without crochet, you can use yarn to wrap wreaths.  Whether yarn, paper or spare buttons, your favorite materials can likely be turned into a wreath. Here are my top five favorite ideas right now:

Easy Paper Wreath– This wreath is a great craft project to do with kids.

Birdseed Wreath– A natural wreath pays tribute to our feathered friends.

Save your Buttons– Display all your favorite spare buttons on a wreath.  Why not hang above your sewing table?

Paper Pinwheel Wreath– Turn pretty paper pinwheels into a colorful wreath, perfect for a child’s room.

Sea Glass Wreath– Collect sea glass (or mixture of seaglass and seashells) for a wreath to remember your trip to the beach.

All these projects use foam wreath bases, but keep in mind you can you can also use a cardboard circle, salvaged from a large box perhaps. With a 14-inch diameter circle wreath, you would want to cut a 12-inch diameter circle out of the middle. You can also use a wire hanger bent into the shape of a circle for your wreath base.

Garden Fun For Kids

May 19, 2009 by FaveCrafts

Well, there’s only one week left until June, which means now is the perfect time to start your garden if you haven’t already. The sun is shining bright and the rain keeps feeding those plants and veggies. Your kids want to help you in the garden but you just don’t want them ruining anything, well now they can help. I came across this really cute garden marker your kids can make. You might be wondering what a garden marker is. Well, it’s a little sign that can help you organize your garden and label what vegetable is what and the same for plants and flowers if you’d like. Your kids will love making them. All you need are some popsicle sticks, foam and a few other items. They can be made in two to three easy steps.

I think this is a great idea to get your kids involved, show their crafty side and keep your garden clean and organized. If you like this craft for your kids you should also look at farm veggies. It’s another cute craft for your kids to partake in gardening. Give them something to do this Spring and start gardening! What other fun crafts can you think of for your kids this Spring?
