I have done many, many crafts over 30 some years but one that stands out in my mind is when I constructed a big stone fireplace with mantel out of a huge cardboard box – including faux fire! Kids loved it.
i love plastic canvas crafts because it makes 3-d items.
I like scrapbooking & quilting.
I painted a scene of a salt box house on slate and it turned out great. I was really proud of it and still am!
coolest i have seen is a baby dressed up as an owl that his mom made for him. She used lots of feathers and glue.
i do alot of scrapbooking as well i like to try new ways to add embelishments i loved to do the embossing powders it looks so cool once its heated .
Well I have been making Necklaces with LaLaLoopy Items for my grand daughters!!! Simple to string the beads and you buy an eraser to hang on the end!!
I started scrapbooking, and my sons love to look at their books.
my favorite craft i did with the kids is making bracelets and necklaces. they gave them to me after they were done..
Love quilting!
Anything involving hand prints of my girls…love that!
I can think of a lot of things to use Smart Fab for: to wrap around the base of floral arrangements, for hand-sewn toys, would be a great product to make a throw quilt for outdoor use, curtains for the RV. I could go on and on. What a great product!
someone came over for a playdate with a very siimple homemade cape that was awesome!!!
My son made a cute garden plate with clay and seeds.

One of the best crafts I ever did was when I was in Girl Scouts. We had a camping trip and we had and arts and crafts event. For this event, we were told to go out and find a green leaf that we liked. We brought them back and the leader told us to pick out a crayon color we liked and then to unpeel the crayon. We then placed the leaf upside down under a sheet of paper. We used the unpeeled crayon to rub sideways over the leaf under the paper. The image that came out was amazing 🙂 We then could use this as a card to give to someone 🙂

I raised 5 children and cared for many others, and was a minister’s wife, so I have done a LOT of crafts through the years. But besides the muppet-style puppets I made for my kids’ puppet team at church, the project I remember most fondly was the mobile my sister and I thought up one year when we were assigned the children’s classes at a week long church camp. I have always disliked the idea of doing useless and ugly crafts for the children to take home and expect their parents to display, but our craft supplies budget was limited, so we had to brainstorm.
We came up with the idea for a mobile that went with the week’s lesson theme about the Body of Christ and fellowship and unity among Christians. We had the children (1-6 grades) make and paint a balloon/paper mache globe of the earth, then we added hangers we pre-made from wire. The wire circled the globe a few inches from the equator, with string on 4 sides going up to a hook for hanging. Then the children cut out a string of paper doll people holding hands and fastened them around the encircling wire, and glued a small white dove head down near the top of the mobile to symbolize the Holy Spirit.
Most of the mobiles looked very attractive, ours hung in the family room for many years.
