Easy DIY Kids Art Display

Looking for a way to hang all of the beautiful art work your kids bring home from 

Church, School or home projects? If you have an empty door, you have 

the perfect spot without clogging up your kitchen refrigerator with magnets. 

This closet, I actually converted into our art cupboard by hanging a shoe

organizer on the inside of the door and having my hubby build a few shelves in 

place of where coats would hang. 

I took a spool of hemp twine and just tied sections around the door, knotting

on the inside of the door. The word ART was cut out of stiff felt, so no rolling 

of the corners as it hangs in place. My kids clipped mini clothes pins on the

twine and then we hung a few pieces of their artwork. 

An easy project and now their art won't fall off the refrigerator

 door everytime it opens!

How do you display your kids masterpieces at home?

Washi Tape Eggs

I picked up these papered eggs from Hobby Lobby last

year after Easter, so they were on sale, woohoo!

This year I had my daughter help me wrap them in Washi

Tape and we displayed them in this little Easter Basket.

Next year I might wrap them in twine, who knows. The

sky's the limit when it comes to crafting and repurposing!

Happy Easter Y'all!!

Easter Egg Wreath with Washi Tape

My kids have been chomping at the bit with our recent

snow fall and lack of outdoor play, so I asked them to help

me with this project. They sorted out fun colored plastic eggs

and wrapped Washi Tape around the openings, while I

wrapped and hot glued everything onto the wreath. 

I didn't have enough of the blue organza to wrap the 

entire wreath, so I pulled out some green paper grass to

fill in the gap. A chevron ribbon left over from a diaper

cake was added before I finished up with the grass. 

I had to put my OCD aside with the washi tape on the 

eggs but the kids did a fantastic job and kept their

creative hands busy for a few minutes, hooray!

A bit of hot glue strategically placed on the eggs and 

taadaa...a finished wreath. I love the fun pops of color

throughout and that we had everything on hand, 

so no trips to the craft store were needed.

Hoppy Easter Footprint Card

If you're looking for a quick and cute way to impress

the Grand or Great GrandParents this Easter

and you happen to have a little one to use as a human stamp,

then try your hand at this cute Hoppy Easter handmade card!

I used my 9-1/2 month old's wee little bunny foot and inked

it up with a bit of craft ink (it washed right off with soap and

water, as soon as we were finished stamping) and then sprinkled

white embossing powder on the image. After heat embossing her

sweet little foot, I used a brayer to roll the blue background onto 

my white cardstock. I guess I could've just used a blue cardstock

instead but I was trying to go for a different look...

I then took a piece of dry swiffer, to buff the blue ink off of her

footprint and then started on the rest of my card. I wanted the card

to say Hoppy Easter, so I just combined two stamps and voila, 

a new saying! The 'from your little bunny' I printed off of my

computer and stuck everything down with doubled sided sticky

tape & snail adhesive.

I hope our Greats and Grands love it as much as I do!
