Crafts for Kids-St. Patty's Day Plaque


Here's a cute idea for St. Patrick's Day. All you really need is a clear surface, napkins and Mod Podge. Decorative napkins are great for decoupage projects and children love all the different surfaces they can be applied to. We used this one as a wall hanging, but you could make coasters, trinkets, frames, boxes and more!

Valentine's Craft for Kids-Card Holder


Here's a spiffy way to recycle and reuse stuff you may have around the house AND  create a great Valentine. This little card holder is made out of an empty ice cream container and covered with scrapbook paper. Sparkle Mod Podge gives it an extra special touch! What other household items can you use to make a V-Day card holder?

Gifts for Teachers- Sweet Treats


I like to acknowledge all the hard work that is put in by my son's teachers-especially on special occasions like Valentine's Day - but don't always have the time to do something really elaborate. Here's a great way to give a gift that is both from the heart and simple to make. Pour teacher’s favorite treats in mason or similar jars and use scrapbook paper to embellish. To give the paper a super smooth shine or a little glimmer, seal with Mod Podge. There are so many variations on this idea - you can even plant a small flower or make a mini terrarium in similar jars.
