This works really well for older children 7-11 who will be able to do this independently but younger children will need adult help or help from older siblings. {I recommend using pencils rather than felt tips as you could end up with felt tip stains all over their hands, clothes and the table cloths ~ and you wouldn’t want felt tips anywhere near your pristine white dress!}

How to Make Silhouette Portraits - The Easy Way (with bonus project: book wreath) : Frantically Simple. A couple of weeks ago I showed you a few simple things I did to improve the look of my living room.
Namely, moving a large mirror above the couch and creating a wreath and family silhouettes. Sorry about the glare – here’s a side shot of the silhouettes that is a bit more clear.

12x12 Maps. Updated DIY Valentine Treat Bags! Hi gang! I have an updated Valentine Treat Bag PDF that’s available as a free download! These have been pretty popular over the years and I’ve made this version more universal so that it can be used for any homemade treats you might want to give to that special someone. Just download the file and print directly onto a paper bag using a color ink jet printer. I’ve found that top loading printers work the best and the flatter the bag the better. Once printed, I stuff a Glassine bag inside to help maintain freshness and to protect the paper from oil stains. Once you’ve made the bags, fill them with any sweet treat imaginable! Instructions are included in the PDF and if you need bags, I sell them in my Etsy shop. CONDITIONS OF USE: All Twig & Thistle downloads are subject to our Terms & Conditions.
