Kid-Friendly Homemade Stampers {K-Cup Crafts}

These homemade stampers are so easy to make and they're uber customizable.  You can use them for pretty much anything, but my favorites are to let your child draw a small picture and you can transfer it to the stamper- saving their art forever!  Or use them as personalized stampers with your child's name or monogram- perfect for creating "no itch" name labels to stamp on the inside of shirts for your child who seems to lose everything at school or camp.  Just use fabric paint on the stamper instead of ink!

Ariel Ribbon Clip {Photo Tutorial}

This is just a photo tutorial to help you see how Ariel is made.  I used a lighter to create a lot of the curves in the ribbon- shell bra, tail fin, hands, hair, etc.  If you're unsure on something, just ask :)

Announcing... K-Cup Crafts!

I love coffee.  More than the average person, I think.  It all started about a year ago when Hubs came home with a Keurig.  Since then I've been known to describe my day by how many cups; e.g. "Oh god, it's definitely gonna be a three-cupper."  Life for me is all around better when there is coffee to be had, yet every time I pop a K-cup in the machine I feel a pang of guilt at how wasteful they are!  I feel like the convenience of them isn't worth the damage and waste. 

For months now I've been trying to think of ways to re-use them.  I even googled "K-cup crafts" and found like 10 blogs dedicated to saving and reusing K-cups in a crafty way, but ALL of them had only one blog post saying something along the lines of "I hate the waste of K-cups and decided to start a blog showing all the crafts you can do with them."  and then NOTHING!  So I dug deep into my {mommy mush} brain and found quite a few ideas.  The first one I did was a SMASH!  The kids absolutely love it!

 

Sound Memory Game!
