My grandson loves anything that has to do with the solar system, rockets, outerspace, etc. He’s just amazed by the fact that there are things thousands of miles up into the sky that he can’t visible see. While he enjoys cars and trucks like most …
Over the past 12 years I’ve posted 150+ painted seashell designs on the Two Classy Chics blog. You can find designs that are seasonal, holiday related, animals, flowers, or designs that are just colorful and fun! With that said, I’m often asked about EASY designs …
Last weekend the group of kids at our church sat down and made these cute Easter Bunny refrigerator magnets out of craft felt. They took less than 1 hour to make and cost less than .50 cents per child.
For the template we picked up unfinished wood rabbit cut-outs at the local craft store. You can find FREE rabbit templates online by doing a Google search. To give the kids ideas adults painted the wood cut-outs with acrylic craft paint the week before. Kids like to have something to look out when decorating their bunnies. Photograph shows the wood examples and the felt bunnies that the kids made.
Felt Easter Bunny Refrigerator Magnets Kid’s Craft Project
White Felt
Light Pink Dimensional Paint
Black Dimenstional Paint
White Pom-Poms or Large White Cotton Balls
Satin Ribbon (if you want to add a bow)
Scissors
Magnets
All-Purpose Craft Glue
Template/Pattern (explained above)
Use the template and trace out the bunny shape onto white felt. Use scissors to cut it out. If you’re working with really young kids and want to save time you can do this step ahead of time and just let them decorate it.
For the bunny facial features we used light pink dimensional paint to acceent the ears and nose. Black dimensional paint for the eye. You can use white Pom-Poms or Cotton Balls for the tail. Once the paint is dry flip it over and glue the magnet on the back.
Project Variations:
Instead of using felt you can use white craft foam as the base. You can use a white pom-pom for the tail. Little satin ribbon bow can be added at the top of the head to look like a girl with a blue bow at the neckline for a boy. You can use wiggle eyes instead of painting on the eye. You can do simple ones or get more elaborate with them depending on the age of the child.

Last weekend we sat down with 5 children ages 7 to 13 years of age to make these super-easy Easter Bunny refrigerator magnets from wooden clothespins. Each one will cost you less than .50 cents to make if you buy your supplies from Dollar Tree. …
Have you tried paint pouring yet when it comes to painting seashells and river rocks? If not, give it a try! It’s an easy way for you and the kids to paint them! You don’t need any artistic skills and you don’t need a lot …
I do a lot of painting on ceramic, glass, tiles, seashells and smooth river rocks. I share hundreds of arts and crafts projects on the TCC blog every year. One thing that I require in the projects that I share are 1. affordability 2. Easy to complete and 3. Don’t take days to make! I think that’s why our arts and crafts projects are so popular with every day families.

Last week I purchased the Sunee Acrylic Dual-Tip Paint Markers from Amazon. These markers contain acrylic paint and feature a dual tip. On one end you’ll find a medium tip and on the other end a fine tip. You get 18 colors in the box in beautiful pastel and classic colors.
These acrylic paint markers require no priming, they don’t drip, leak, or have any foul paint odors. Just remove the cap and use! Another added benefit is that they dry super fast. You’re not waiting for an hour or two for the paint to dry. You use the medium point for coloring in larger sized areas and the fine point for writing words and outlining. There’s a lot you can do with these paint markers.
Let’s talk about affordability. I’ve spent $50 for a set of 12 high-end paint markers that need priming, clog and all sorts of other things. While they’re nice markers and easy-to-use I don’t appreciate the priming and clogging factor, nor the price. The Sunee Acrylic Dual-Tip Paint Markers that I purchased from Amazon for less than $10.00 are of a lesser quality (admit that) but much more affordable. Plus, the other benefits that I stated above. I feel they make a nice starter set or great for older kids who are getting into art.
The painted clam seashells that you see in this post were decorated using the set of Sunee Acrylic Paint Markers. As you can see…they do give you nice color and control when you’re using them. I’m pleased with the results! After painting on seashells, tiles or smooth river rocks you do want to seal the project with a clear coat of Mod Podge or a spray acrylic sealer. I used Mod Podge.
