Silly Kids Craft - A-Craft-A-Day with Pattiewack for National Craft Month

I thought it would be fun to end the month on a silly note with these funny spoons I made into monsters!  I love crafting with kids, and I know they will get a kick out of this fun craft.  You probably have everything you need in your craft stash.  But if you need the deets on how to make these, go to iLoveToCreate.com.

I hope you've had as much fun as me during National Craft Month, and that I sparked up a little creativity for you and your friends and family.  

Happy Crafting!

Monogram Bag - with Pattiewack for National Craft Month!

I simply love this bag, and when I designed it, I was tickled to death with the color.  Of course I had to have a "W" on it, but you can put any letter and any font you want on yours by just printing it off your computer.  And then grab your favorite die cutting system and cut out tons of felt flowers for the bottom.  The instructions are on iLoveToCreate.com and more project ideas are there too.

Nature Collection - A-Craft-A-Day with Pattiewack for National Craft Month!

One of the things I like about a nature walk, is picking up the things that interest me and I want to examine more closely.  But then what to do with them?  Kids are the same way, and this idea is great since it's a recycled pizza box, a sheet of paper, some post-it labels, and your finds.  There's more ideas on iLoveToCreate.com and tons of kids crafts.  See you again tomorrow, and the rest of this month for National Craft Month!

Craft on!

DIY Screenprinting with the Tulip ScreenIt!

Screenprinting is not hard, when you use the new Tulip ScreenIt from iLoveToCreate!

This quick screenprinting tutorial was so much fun to tape at the 2012 CHA Tradeshow in January.  It was shot by the folks at When Creativity Knocks, and is one of the 'manufacturer must haves' at the trade show. 

I'm serious when I say that it's super easy to do screenprinting with this fabulous ScreenIt machine, and that I will be using one of these at home for crafty projects!  You'll need to check back later for the date on when it will be available in craft stores, and some fun projects, so be on the look out for it!

Tutu Dress-up - National Craft Month with Pattiewack

 

Little girls love wearing tutus, don't they?  And this little dress-up outfit is too-too fun!  I did a graffiti shirt, hair band, and over-the knee socks with vibrant colors, with a little attitude.  You can find all the instructions and supplies on iLoveToCreate.com and pick the colors your tutu wearing girlie girl will love.

Pencil Crafts - with Pattiewack for National Craft Month!

Who knew pencils could be so cute!  Kids go crazy for crafting when you have a project that's this fun.  I loved making these with craft foam.  And of course, the googlie eyes are the best part.  For a printable project page, go to iLoveToCreate and get crafting!

Water Bottle Carrier - A-Craft-A-Day with Pattiewack for National Craft Month!

What I loved about making this water bottle carrier, is the BUGS!  My grandson Zane is fascinated with bugs, and I think he would love this to poke his water into and take to kindergarten.  You could even make it larger so you could stick a snack in there too.  If you need a pattern to paint your bugs, go to iLoveToCreate.com and while you're there, check out the oodles of crafty projects that kids would love.

Hipster Tie Dye Bag - National Craft Month's A-Craft-A-Day with Pattiewack

Tie dye isn't just for t-shirts anymore, and the quilters have gotten on the tie-dye-wagon, too!  These blocks of tie dye are really cute when they're sewn with blocks of plaid fabric.  This is a bag you'll want to make duplicates of, so you can share with your friends.  It's the perfect size for books, or a fun day at the beach.  You can go over to iLoveToCreate and pick up your dye and all the details.

See you again tomorrow!
