How to make necklaces and bracelets with kids
Ever try making jewelry with kids? We've dabbled a bit, but honestly, I've always been kind of overwhelmed by beading. It's one thing to string on some pony beads, but we've never tried adding on clasps or *gasp* crimping anything. The crafty folks at Dragonfly Designs sent me one of their DIY jewelry making kits to review... and let me tell you, the kids and I HAD A BLAST! (And we finally learned how to make real jewelry!)

Button Rings
Do you have some buttons lying around? Does your child love dressing up and playing pretend? Then today's super easy kids jewelry craft is right up your alley! We recently visited a really cool store called Art From Scrap and had a blast rummaging through bins of random odds and ends. A couple of particularly lovely buttons caught my eye, and I knew that I had to take them home to make these cute button rings.
This would a super fun craft to make for, or with young children. Chuck helped me to string on the buttons and cut the pipe cleaners. At the end his favorite ring was the red one. Why? It's the fire fighting one. Apparently it squirts water at fires. Who knew?
Ooh. I just realized something else. This would also be a great craft for kids who love the Fancy Nancy Series too.
Ok. Let's get making!

Painting Valentine's Day and African Inspired Pasta Necklaces
Alright, this post's title is completely wackadoo, but hear me out. Chuck and I painted pasta necklaces to wear on Valentine's Day. But after painting a bunch of pasta pretty pastel colors, my eyes yearned for primary colors. So while Chuck slept, I peeked online and found some really beautiful beaded African necklaces. And then this mama went to town and painted her own pasta pieces with African inspired colors and designs.
Keep reading to see how we painted them!

Mini Painted Sponge Christmas Trees
Can you believe that it's already mid November? Time sure flies by quickly! Even though it's not yet Thanksgiving, my son's already asked me to put up the Christmas tree and make Christmas Crafts.
Well, we still haven't put up the tree, but we have been crafting more together at night. Recently, we turned a bunch of old makeup sponges into mini Christmas trees. I know, they're not as beautiful as the real thing... but for now, they'll do!

Lego Snowflakes
Do you enjoy cutting snowflakes from paper? Do you like Lego? Then I've got a treat for you! Combining both, I recently figured out how to cut out Lego snowflakes!
Hubby and I both grew up loving Lego toys. Chuck loves his cars and train Duplo sets. And every year I find myself cutting all sorts of paper snowflakes to decorate our windows. So this year, I was inspired by this neat Batman snowflake design to create two cute and easy-to- cut Lego Snowflakes.

Rainbow Snowflake Cutouts
Bet you read the title and thought... what? Rainbow snowflakes? Well, I had a tough time figuring what to name this rainbow craft. Is it a snowflake craft? Is it considered kirigami? I'm not sure. All I know is that it's a cute and fun paper cutting craft for rainbow-loving kids to try out.
