Tissue Box Cover Craft

Watercolor Tie Dye Tissue Box Cover

My favorite watercolors are from Discount School Supplies.  These vibrant, liquid watercolors are what we used in last year's school auction art project, "Our Universe." I filled two little containers with the watercolor and let my two and a half year old brush it on randomly.

Sewing, Stamping and Felt Gift Cards

In a productive hour of avoiding chores last week I decided to have some fun on the sewing machine.  I had a collection of thank you cards to write from my birthday and a stack of felt scraps on my desk from the Owl costume.

Upcycle Plastic Bread Bag Clips: Wine Glass Charms

I've never owned wine glass charms. We just used to play the guessing game at our house until one day I opened up a drawer in my kitchen, saw a bunch of different color bread bag clips and thought, Voila! Wine glass charms!

Playing With Blocks

My mom found a bag of letter blocks at a yard sale a couple years ago. Blocks are fun but sometimes they can be too much of a good thing. Especially if it's the middle of the night and you're barefoot. These blocks are adhered using wood glue and although their heights vary, the sign is sturdy. Other ideas for your blocks:
Welcome, your last name, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Use them to spell out your kids names or your pets name next to their food bowl!
Have any other ideas for letter blocks? Post a comment I'd love to hear them!
