Teacher Appreciation Gift

Want. Need. Deserves. 

Checking off all 3 for the girls Teacher Appreciation gift this year!

 As I truly feel Teachers are the gold gems of our world and yes...crafting + MAKING in the kitchen?! The BEST. Why? Because if I can create something in 20-30 minutes with drying time included, that's a fav over here.

The apple shaped stamp is a DIY I made using felt, scissors, and my glue gun (because of course I would)  Want a short demo on how I made the apple stamp? Posted one over on TikTok here.

Travel Craft Kits "On-The-Go"

DIY craft kits for "On-The-Go?! Yes please! 

Originally made my girls DIY craft kits awhile back for Christmas a few years ago, so I decided to MAKE them travel friendly by first personalizing each bag using iron-on vinyl with my good old fashioned iron.  

There's a great beginner tutorial for using vinyl if you're new which I followed  here.   And or you can also order your kids name custom made for you and ready to iron on from an Etsy shop owner like these ones,  here. 

I upgraded each pocket to include items and craft supplies they are both loving lately. Like air dry clay (major hit!) we created something very special with ours which I can share when we get back : ) Then I also put in these new colored pencils/water colors and reusable stickers. 

Even my 7 year old stills like creating fun scenes and images with her dog sticker book. Gladly support that for all longs as possible!

Traveling soon? and want to MAKE your own with our supplies?

Blank handbag/toiletry bag

Iron-on vinyl or custom name on Etsy

Air dry clay

Colored pencils/watercolors (pastel sold out - similar here)

Activity roll/create your own sheets DIY

Glitter Crayons

Reusable sticker - mermaid

Reusable sticker - princesses

Reusable sticker book

Then that's it! We're taking ours on the longest flight to date for our girls (4.5 + 7.5 years old) as well have some down time in an Airbnb so I'll keep you posted! Though when I made these before, they lasted the entire flight and back to California last year : )

Enjoy! Warmly, Steph

Easter Basket Mini Upgrade

 

For this one, I started with this cracked egg basket then cut round arch's at the top so it became a "scalloped Easter Basket."

Flower petals were hand cut by thinking of a "dewdrop" shape and leafs glue gunned around the petals. 

To finish off the mini DIY Easter Basket, I added on a thick satin bow + viola! 

Complete.
