In that last week, I've made more actual decent looking crafts than I can remember. It all started when the boys and I had an idea to make some birthday gifts for people. Here's what we came up with:
Family Cupcake Liner Bouquet in Fingerprint Vase
Kid Bouquet in Fingerprint Vase with handpainted flowers by kids
Kid Bouquet in Fingerprint Vase with pre-painted flowers
So that was super fun. It was a day project to shop for the vases at Salvation Army, the flowers and paint at Walmart, get home, prep the vases, cover work surface, help kids make fingerprint flowers, bake the vases (because its enamel paint and has to cure - this is best for glass surfaces so the paint doesn't chip or wash off). Then I printed the pics and cut them out. They painted the natural wooden flowers and craft stick stems, I hot glued everything together and when the vases were cool we put it all together with a little tissue paper. I used cupcake liners as paint cups and when we were finished I put what paint I could back into the bottles then spread the rest over the cupcake liner. I let them dry then glued the faces on and cut the liners with fancy scissors and glued to craft stick stems. This was really a fun little project for all of us!
