Web Wednesday: Hanging Snowflake Door Decor


I'm not sure if you have received your first snowfall of the year yet. I know we here in Georgia have not. If you are in the mood for snow try to create this hanging snowflake door decor. Here is a great winter craft project to create. Create these embellished snowflakes you can hang on a door, or on a porch. To re-create this project you will need a variety of FolkArt paints, and a few supplies. To learn how to make this project click, here. Enjoy this project and the snow while it lasts :)

Tuesday Kid's Talk: Recycled Thanksgiving Crafts


Kids are used to making the traditional hand print turkeys. Why not introduce your kids to some other easy to make Thanksgiving crafts? Not only are these Thanksgiving crafts simple to make, but they are also recycled craft projects. Click here to see a list of some recycled kids crafts for Thanksgiving. I love the one above. These acorn turkeys are so adorable. Who knew that acorns could be turned into a turkey? I am positive that these recycled projects will be enjoyed by your kids. These crafts are perfect to have them make, while Thanksgiving dinner is being prepared by the adults. To learn how to make the craft pictured above click, here.
