Patchwork Padded Headboard
This is a beautiful project. I am so pleased with our patchwork padded headboard. And it’s really not that hard to create. In all honesty, the hardest part is getting the sums right at the start.
Giant Pin Wheels
Just wow! These giant pin wheels turned out better than I could have hoped for. I did try and use everyday straws for this one, but they just didn’t hold up to the weight. Perhaps for a smaller version they would work well. Instead I used some cake dowels that I had already. You canContinue reading “Giant Pin Wheels”
Easy Thomas the Tank Engine Costume
Thomas is a staple in many households with young kids, I’m sure. Ours is no different.

Stick Man has a few leaves on his head and his arm, so that’s exactly what I created. KeepContinue reading “Quick Stick Man Costume”
Simple Penguin Costume
This is another world book day outfit. My eldest wanted to go as the penguin out of the book “A different way home” by Emma Bacon, so I got to work putting together a simple penguin costume for her. I started with a black hooded jacket in her size. Penguins have a white belly, soContinue reading “Simple Penguin Costume”

3D Snowflakes
These 3D Snowflakes are beautiful aren’t they? They are straightforward to make with a bit of patience. Have a go at making different sizes of 3D snowflakes. Each of the points of your snowflake are made separately. You will be able to get 2 points out of one sheet of A4, so bare that inContinue reading “3D Snowflakes”
Christmas Tree Makes
My lot love crafting sessions. Anything where they can create and be allowed to make a mess always seems to be a winner. When it’s cold and dark outside, a bit of crafting lifts everyones spirits. Christmas is also a great excuse to get the paint and glue out. So here are my favourite ChristmasContinue reading “Christmas Tree Makes”
