Customisable Soap Bottles. Last weekend we celebrated the big SeVeN with a Lego party.
The boys had a great time and I have to admit it was really easy to plan and very laid back.Here's what we did, in case a Lego party may be in your future too :) The Birthday Boy:Cutest 7 year old I know! The Decorations:We went super low key with our decorations...Lego- what's a Lego party without a TON of Lego? We dumped a bunch in the middle of our dinning room table for decoration, but also for the games we had planned... Lego soap- we decided to add a few pieces of Lego to the liquid soap in our bathroom. Simple paper plates and cups ;) The Cake: The birthday boy requested cupcakes, which made me very happy because they are so easy! The games: Lego Guess- we filled a small container with Lego and had the boys try to guess how many piece of Lego there were. Lego Towers- we put the boys in teams of two and gave them 5 minutes to build the tallest tower they could.

Mitsy of the lovely shop and blog ArtMind will be sharing some of her fabulous tutorials with us. If you haven't visited her site, it's a must see, as not only does she make beautiful wares, she has an amazing tutorial section. Click here. Today she is showing us how to make polymer gift tags, perfect for a valentine! Here is what you need: Metal stamping letters/numbers set, polymer clay, acrylic paint, flat wooden sticks, ceramic tiles or glass, cookie cutters, rolling pin, embossing tool or fat needle, paper plate, paintbrush and a cloth. Take a piece of polymer clay and soften it while kneading. Put the flat wooden sticks on the ceramic tile (makes it easier to transfer to the oven) and roll with the rolling pin over the clay so that it's nice, flat and even. When you rolled out a piece, lift it up carefully and transfer it to another tile so you can roll out more little clay slabs.
