Today, I felt like making something fun and decided to try them with the kids. I think the idea got in my head because Asa wore his pirate hat and pirate sword for most of the morning. He walked around saying things like, “Arrrgh, Mateys! Welcome to yer ship!” (He’s got a pretty good pirate accent for a 2 year old.) For such a cool craft, the ingredients are pretty easy… 1 cup coffee grounds 1 cup water 1 cup flour 1/2 cup salt 1/4 cup sand Mix and then form dough into balls. Then roll your treasure back inside the dough and form it into a ball. While we were waiting for the Treasure Stones to cook, we read a story from the Jesus Storybook Bible. So, to help us remember this, we learned Matthew 6:21, “Your heart will be where your riches are.” Make silhouette family gift tags. - Mod Podge Rocks! I went to a baby shower recently where a lot of people had tied small items onto their gifts.
It’s not a new concept, but it got me thinking about doing the same thing and incorporating Mod Podge. I had some new chipboard shapes from Maya Road and some wood ovals, so I decided to throw a silhouette craft together – gift tags that could also be used as ornaments for any time of year. I have to categorize this as a definite stashbuster project, as I used paint, fabric scraps and ribbon I already had in addition to the chipboard shapes. Here’s how to make this family. Gather These Supplies Prepare your fabric scraps with Fabric Mod Podge. Turn the fabric over to the backside and place a wood oval face down onto it.
This is where a steady hand comes in “handy.” Paint your wood tags and chipboard shapes. Free Printable Lunchbox Notes, Tags & Stickers. Aug13 by Cindy Hopper Start the school year off with these free lunchbox notes, tags and stickers.
