Crafting With Kids - Masterpieces

When crafting with kids begins, you never know when it will result in a masterpiece being made.  That's the great thing about crafting with kids, they typically don't fret over the details.  Kids don't worry if it's perfect.  Kids simply create.

And, creating is exactly what Grace has been doing. 

On painted canvas, I drew a heart shape and filled it in with glue and stepped back to let the artist create her masterpiece.  Grace dug through our button jar and filled the heart in with pretty buttons.   What makes this a masterpiece, in my eyes, 'love' spelled out by the artist.

 

Grace would prefer creating while keeping her hands clean.  A masterpiece, to me, is seeing this little girl get her hands dirty.

Especially when she makes hand print crafts.

On painted canvas, the artist left her signature in the form of her 5 year old hand print.

If you liked these masterpieces, make sure to check out some of the other art created and currently on display like this watercolor silhouette.

Or block printing art.

Whatever your child creates, I am sure it will be a masterpiece in your eyes.

Make A Custom Felt Bunny Family

Turn the members of your family into bunnies by creating your own custom felt bunny family.

Not only is this an easy, no sew, fun project, BUT it also has the possibility of becoming a family hareloom.

To make your own personalized bunny family, gather the following supplies: 

The number of embroidery hoops and spring colored fabric will depend on how many bunnies you need for your family.

Cover each embroidery hoop with desired colored fabric.  Trim excess away.

Next, cut out the bunny body parts.

Out of the white felt, cut a round circle {bunny head}, 2 ears and a rounded triangle body.  Out of the pink felt, cut out a cute little bunny nose.

Create your bunny by gluing the bunny parts onto the fabric covered embroidery hoop.  The bunny eyes, French knots, are made using black thread.  *You can add any extras {buttons, beads, felt} to help personalize each bunny.

Repeat these steps for each bunny family member you have left.

Now to formally introduce you to the While Wearing Heels bunny family.

Thank goodness Mommy Bunny was having a good hare day.

Moving on to Daddy bunny, who won mommy bunny over with a 24 carrot ring.

And, last but certainly not least, Baby Bunny.  Baby Bunny enjoys spending her day playing hopscotch.

A truly EARresistable bunny family.

So, I am all *ears*, tell me how you'd personalize your own bunny.
