Summer time is a great time to decorate indoors while all the flowers are decorating the outdoors. We made this bee skep to decorate our house for the summer. The skep was used as a bee hive for centuries, but now they are more for garden decorations. Our project uses a recycled soda bottle and glue, so there is no need for weaving. This is a perfect craft for children, camps or addition to a bee lesson!

We love our Fairies! My daughter and I make things all the time for our fairy garden. This year we made doors for all of the trees. This is a cute project that you can customize by adding color or making more woodsy by gluing twigs and leaves to it. I am sharing just the basic door construct, the sky is the limit.

My daughter is turning 5 in a month or so and we are having a large shindig for her. It will be a Gala of epic proportions for a person who is only 5! To cut costs, like many moms, I’m doing a lot of the work myself. The decorations are going to be 95% handmade. I shared these tissue paper flowers last month. Not only does it save on cash, but there is a little bonding time between myself and my daughter as we make these items for her party.

This is sure to be a hit with anyone of any age. It’s just simply the gift of wishes. It’s the right time to start collecting them, and stock up for the winter holidays, birthdays and just plain sad days. My daughter and I love fairies, she calls the puffy seeds of the dandelions “fairy wishes”. Just yesterday she found the first puff of the season and before she blew on it to send her wish out into the world we saved a couple in a tiny vial to give to her friend for her birthday. How adorable to give this tiny glass vial filled with wishes.

A popular trend in jewelry, the nest is a cute way for moms to show off their family. The mamma ”bird” wears her nest proudly displaying how many little ones she has at home. This project is simple even for the smallest of hands to make and they are great gifts to give.
Supplies
To start this project decide how many “eggs” your nest is going to have. I did a one egg nest and a 3 egg nest , if you are going to need more eggs, use smaller beads. Read the rest…

This is a great project for children to make for their mom or grandmas for a gift. The knitter’s pendant is just string wrapped around a bead and glued in place. A simple project that offers great results. What knitter wouldn’t love it?

On the first day of May fill these cute little paper cones with homemade treats, flowers and candy. Leave them on the doorknobs of neighbors anonymously to brighten their day and celebrate the coming of summer. This is a great way to let children give to the adults in your community.
