Kid’s love arts & crafts projects and as parents and grandparents, it’s our job to give them the creative tools to make them. As a grandparent, I hold bi-monthly crafting sessions with my granddaughter which is a great way to have bonding time with her and …
Scrapbooking, it’s a crafting medium that I’m passionate about. I’ve been creating my own scrapbook pages since the 1980’s, before it became all of the rage. Scrapbooking is a great way to preserve your family’s memories and it helps to reduce stress. Gotta love that! …
All little girls love jewelry and if you have a little diva in your family, I think she would love to sit down and craft-up her own jewelry pieces! Both of these jewelry craft projects are easy to make and they work up quickly. On top of that, they’re inexpensive too!
2 Quick and Easy Jewelry Craft Projects for Little Girls
Easy Seashell Necklace Craft Project
1 Scallop Seashell 1 1/2″ Size
Faux Leather Cord
The faux leather cord that we used had a clasp already on it. We bought it in the jewelry-supplies section at the craft store for $1.00. The seashell that we used had a pre-drilled hole. If your seashell doesn’t have a pre-drilled hole, you’ll need to add on. Simply thread the scallop seashell onto the faux leather cord. You can let your little girl add glitter, colored paints or colorful markers if she wants to decorate her necklace even more.
Olympic Rings Necklace Craft Project
1 Gold Glitter Stiff Felt Sheet
Scissors
Faux Leather Necklace Cord or Yarn/Ribbon
Craft Foam Sheets in Black, Blue, Red, Yellow and Green
All-Purpose Craft Glue
Pencil
1/4″ Hole Puncher
Cut a 3″ diameter circle from the gold glitter felt sheet. This type of felt is stiff and will hold it’s shape. Use a pencil and trace 1/2″ diameter circle onto black, blue, red, yellow and green craft foam. Use scissors to cut out those small circles. Use a 1/4″ hole puncher to punch a hole in the center of each circle to turn it into an Olympic ring. Use the hold puncher to punch a hole in the top of the large gold metallic circle. Apply the Olympic ring circles onto the gold metallic circle (as shown in the photo) using all-purpose craft glue. Thread your pendant onto a faux leather cord, ribbon or yarn to make the necklace.
If your little girl isn’t interested in sports, she can decorate her gold metallic circle pendant with stickers, faux jewels, metal charms, buttons and other items you have in your craft supplies stash.
For the past few months my grandchildren have been cooped up thanks to the nasty & cold winter weather. When its too cold outside to go out and play, I try to keep them busy indoors with various arts & craft projects. Today’s kid’s craft …
Did you see our post from a couple of days ago that featured How-To’s to make adorable Dreamwork’s Trolls Refrigerator Magnets? If not, you can check out that post for photos and instructions on how to make them. Today, we’re sharing another kid’s craft project …
When my daughter was a teenager, she fell head-over-heels in love with the Trolls. For about 2 years, she collected anything & everything related to them, including hundreds of fuzzy-haired figures & dolls. Fast forward to 2017 and my daughter is once again loving the Trolls and sharing her love for them with her 2 small children.
Now you can join Princess Poppy and her less-than enthusiastic friend Branch as they embark on a journey to rescue their fellow Trolls from the terrifying Bergens. Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick bring the Trolls to life on Digital HD Tuesday, January 24th and Blu-ray and DVD, February 7th, 2017 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
We were selected to host a family movie & craft day with all things related to those adorable Trolls! We received a complimentary copy of the movies, a box of craft supplies and then I hit the store for additional goodies for our family party! Here are a few of the craft projects that me & my little granddaughter completed.
Dreamworks Trolls Theme’d Refrigerator Magnets
Laminating Machine with Supplies
Large Trolls Stickers and/or Cutouts
Roll of Self-Adhesive Magnet Strips
Scissors
We used a combination of stickers (mounted onto cardstock) and cutouts. You simple prepare your paper pieces and run them through your laminating machine per manufacturer’s directions. Once they come out, let them cool to room temperature. Use scissors to cut them out and apply magnets onto the back. That’s it…your magnets are done!
In our box of supplies that we received were two adorable Dreamworks Trolls Scrapbooking Kits. My almost 8 year old granddaughter loves to sit down & make scrapbooking pages with me and she’s pretty darn good at it! Our craft supply box included scrapbooking kits, rubber stamps, ink pads, edged-scissors, glitter glues and all sorts of cool things!
I sat down with the Princess and she got busy whipping up two scrapbooking pages in the 8″ by 11″ size. She selected which papers to use, her own color scheme, which photos, embellishments, etc. I just “assisted” her when she needed the help. I really LOVE the two pages that she made and they came out super nice! She was very proud of her work!
The majority of the items you see on her scrapbooking pages came in an adorable Trolls Scrapbooking Kit that we had received. A few smaller items she obtained from my scrapbooking stash. If you haven’t introduced your child (especially a little girl) to scrapbooking yet, I highly recommend it!
During our special day together we did sit down as a family to watch the Dreamworks Trolls movie. One of the things that really impressed me is that the Trolls got a modern-day update and look totally adorable & cute. Some of the ones back in the 1980’s looked scary to me, but the ones in the movie are super-cute!
The story line is very entertaining and will have your child glued to the TV screen watching it. I caught my 8 year old granddaughter singing along and my 17 month old grandson humming & dancing. Yes, even my little grandson enjoyed the movie too! Oh, I have a secret, I think my husband enjoyed the movie even more than the kids!!!
