Summer Art

Here's what I've been working on in my "studio" aka the kitchen table. I'm having a lot of fun making cute little puppy's out of old sheets and pillowcases from the 60's and 70's. They're so soft and remind me so much of my grandparent's and spending the night at their houses. I'm making them babyproof, too, as so much of my things are not.....

So I am constantly getting ideas for kids crafts.....but I have a 15month old who likes to eat craft items more than use them. I had this thought that maybe I should pass along my ideas to you moms out there who need a little inspiration for fun artsy things to do with your kids. Hopefully this will help.....and someday I can use them on Wyatt and possibly another few little Vashey's.

Label Fun
Dishwashing liquid, handsoap, vaseline, and deodorant are just a few household items that have the most BORING labels. You see them and use them everyday, yet they never really match anything in your house.....and who wants to spend tons of money on the fancy stuff that does? Nope, so why not change them? If you pull off the stickers, then it usually leaves a sticky film that you can stick and switch with something more attractive! Then, you just cover with clear plastic tape and *voila* their waterproof! You are only limited by your imagination!

Materials:
clear packing tape
magazines, paper
scissors
Tips: Use the label on the product for your template.
Try to think outside of the box.
If something is a clear bottle, then what faces the inside is just as important b/c you can see it.
