The look for less. A pretty neat trick I must say. Talk about a creative use of puffy paint. Make your own faux porcelain vases from ordinary glass bottles. I’d love to see your end results for this one!

Fancy making these paper kimono dolls? They make good use of the scraps of washi paper you have from other projects! Or erhmm, practice with random scraps first. Have fun, they make great rainy day projects with the kids 
Spent copious amount of time at Daiso, the local (ok, more like imported from Japan) version of a dollar store where everything retails at $2. Lots of fun! I spent an insane amount of time at the kitchen section with bento boxes, sets and the like. So when I spotted this lunch bag tutorial on Lilac Silhouette, I just had to share.
Like she mentioned, it looks easy enough. Maybe I can motivate myself to do it … when the kids go to school? Tutorial is part of a freebie from Make Good Books.
Reduce, reuse, recycle and create something quite beautiful. Make giftbows from old magazines, maps or even old wrappers and be surprised by how beautiful they can look. And it helps to reduce waste too! Perfect to make in preparation for all those Christmas gifts… Heh.
Learn how to make these bows at How About Orange.
I’m sure you’d agree, these make great teaching tools! No?
Well, cook up some reason for me to get them quick. I found them way too adorable! Little Piggy by LittleOneBao.
A handwritten card is already full of sentiment. What more a hand-embroidered notecard? Learn to DIY your own. Tutorial from The Stationery Place.
Originally intended to be a DIY table number setting, these make fun tealights at any party. If you have the time of course! Let your imagination run wild over the possibilities of the designs or source ready ones over the internet.
Hop on over to 100 Layer Cake for the details. And erhmm, not quite child friendly in terms of the ‘doing’.
I just spotted this DIY craft on All About You and whilst I’m going googoo gaga over it, I’m not nearly crazy enough to attempt it for the new baby girl. But you can try and share it with somebody! 
A touch of whimsy, these printable cards house dandelions and turn them into so much more than the common weed. I kind of like dandelions… probably a throwback from reading too much Enid Blyton!
Get the template via Kind Over Matter. Happy crafting! I think children will love these as a follow on craft session from a bout of book reading. Erhmm, that is if you can get them to NOT puff at the dandelion clocks.
hello, thanks for dropping by …
