Our friends Chica and Jo always have fun and different ideas for using Plaid products. Take for instance this bean bag toss game that they created using old jeans and a little Apple Barrel Paint. What a great idea for spring break, field day, family reunions and just general summer fun. Get instructions and more photos here.

If you have a stash of old milk cartons hanging out in the recycling bin, you'll love this seaworthy (or at least bathtub-worthy boat) craft project idea. These fun pirate ships are made completely with objects from around the house (use straws and scrap paper for the sails). The even cooler thing is that the boats float, so you can take an armada of ships to your favorite tub or kiddie pool. Find instructions here: Craftprojects.com

I grew up when the Star Wars movies were originally in theaters and were becoming a phenomena everywhere. In fact, I wanted to be Princess Leia when I grew up. I thought she was so cool. Remember Leia and this hairstyle?
 
Yeah, I begged my mom to let me wear my hair like this. Thank goodness she didn't let me. But I digress.
Star Wars is such a classic, and it is so fun to see Star Wars mania passed on to another generation. Case in point - these cute crafty Star Wars magnets by Craptastic Crafts.


Isn't that cute? Mom and son made these and he loves playing with them. The magnets feature Mod Podge and are fun for little (and big) kids to make.
