Happy Friday everyone. Yay the weekend is here and that means it is time to head to the craft store. This time of year is the perfect time to craft with your kids. They will be out of school soon and will need something to keep them occupied. If you have little girls they probably will love this teacup project. We discovered this on the blog Sew Country Chick. Justine made this adorable project using Martha Stewart paints and stencils. This is not a project your kids should do on their own, but they can definitely help. It maybe better suited for tweens. It is so interesting that Justine turned these teacups into candles. Love this idea! To see how Justine made these cups click here.

Before you know it your kids will be out of school for the holidays. Make sure before they leave school, they give their favorite teacher a small token of their appreciation. Teachers are very easy to please, when it comes to receiving gifts from their students. Handmade gifts from their students are sure to make any teacher smile. Have your kids create this great gift designed by Cathie and Steve. All you need is a little Mod Podge to create an altered hand sanitizer bottle that will look so cute on their desk. All the materials needed are listed below. To find the complete step-by-step instructions click here.
