Bling; made for kids, by kids! My kids really like to get crafty. They also like to peek in my jewelry box and beg to wear all of the pretty things! So we set out to see what we could create with things we already had at home. This is what we came up with. Straw Necklaces! Affiliate links are included, purchases will result in me earning a commission. You will need: Straws Bakers twine or yarn Glue Scissors Rolf was kind enough to cut the straws for both of the necklaces we made. We simply added a bead of glue to one side of a straw, then pressed it onto another. Repeat until you are out of straws. Thread your string, twine or yarn through one straw and tie to make the necklace. This was a fun craft for both kids. Harp was pleased to have her own "bling" that she made by herself.

Spring is here and that means we have been seeing our share of showers, and rainbows! Let's embrace the weather and savor the beautiful sights to be seen after the storm and make a few cute crafts while we are at it! These ideas are so cute yet so simple! They are perfect for kids of a variety of ages and are worth bookmarking for those rainy spring days spent indoors with the kids! I am going to try making the rainbow necklaces sometime this spring, and I think my kids would love to try the layered felt magnets. I can't wait to hear which of these rainbow crafts you want to make with the kids first!

My daughter is all about Wonder Woman these days, so we made a cute and easy craft to keep her Superhero dreams coming!  For your convenience affiliate links have been inserted. This is such an easy craft. All you need to make it is duct tape , toilet paper rolls and scissors! Cut two toilet paper rolls in half. Then cover them with duck tape in your favorite print. Make sure to fold the edges over to avoid paper cuts and rubbing!  That is all it takes to make these crazy easy and cute Superhero cuffs for the kids! This is one of my favorite rainy day projects because after craft time ends they can engage in some dramatic play! You can check out the short video below
