This could be a fun weekend craft!

Using Elmers Glue, a Wooden Letter and Yarn you can make an Ombre Yarn-Wrapped Monogram! Directions on Disney’s Spoonful!

1.) Apply Elmer’s-type glue to the underneath side of your wooden letter.

2.) Wrap yarn around your letter – use multiple colors or one color.

3.) Let dry and add any embellishments with hot glue.

Craft Supplies:

Amazon has MANY Wooden Letters starting at $3.30.

I really like the Spinrite Lily Ombres Sugar’n Cream Yarn for $3.97 (pictured above) but also check out the Coats & Clark Red Heart Classic Yarn: Rainbow Brights at $5.86. You can find many other yarns on Amazon.

There is a wide selection of flower embellishments!

I really think I have creative ideas but I don’t consider myself artistic…

First, I lack time. Second, I lack follow-through.

One item I can say that was VERY easy and CHEAP to make was a No Sew Fleece Tie Blanket.

What You Need:
1 square Fleece Blanket (60″ x 60″ is what I used)
1 Additional Square Fleece Blanket
Scissors

Optional:
Square 4″x4″ template or index card
Rotary Cutter
Measuring Tape

I like making the fleece blankets coordinating but not the same. I got a solid pink and a cupcake pattern.

Directions:
1.) Lay down your first square fleece
2.) Lay your second square fleece lined up on top. Make sure all edges line up. Trim where needed.
3.) Cut a 4 inch by 4 inch square on each corner.
4.) Cut strips about every two finger lengths (an inch and a half – give or take) along the edges. Cut about 4 inches in length.
5.) Once strips are cut along all 4 sides of the blanket, choose a corner. Tie the right bottom of one side with the left top strip of the other side of the blanket. Begin tying all strips in a double knot.
6.) Repeat along all four edges/side.

Ta-da! You are done with your easy No Sew Fleece Blanket. Makes a great gift!

Watch the video below for a complete 2 minute tutorial.

The girls and I put together a canvas print for their bedroom (see desk we just made too). I actually have two. One when my eldest daughter was younger (just her and I), then one of both daughters and I.

The kit we used is found on Amazon in blue or pink – grab the Pearhead Baby and Me Handprint Canvas Kit, Pink Elephant for $12.05 to $12.99.

There are a couple Canvas and Paint Deals on Amazon if you would like to go your own direction.

I like the Winsor Newton 8-Inch by 10-Inch Artists Quality Stretched Canvas for the low price of $5.36  as an add-on item from $29.94 Please read the reviews. The low stars are because people were expecting 6 canvases and got one.

I used DecoArt DASK279 Crafter’s Acrylics Home Décor Brights Sample Pack for $16.29. I am not sure how safe it is for a child’s hands, so please wash hands well and follow all directions on the bottle.

Find more Canvas Prints,  Paint Selections and Hand and Feet Print Kits on Amazon.
