I have to say, when I first entered the crafting world, toilet paper roll crafts were definitely not on my radar. I was all about scrapbooking projects and printables, not to mention sewing. I can make a mean pillow, ya’ll. But toilet paper roll crafts? Uhhh no way. At first, I was really hesitant about […]
The world of craft materials extends as far as the mind can reach. I remember as a kid hearing about an artist who built a sculpture out of those white and orange striped traffic barrels you’d see on the highway. I was completely fascinated by the sculpture and wondered how in the world the artist […]
I can’t even tell you how many times I spent picking out the perfect colors for my best friends’ friendship bracelets. It was important to me to mix my favorite colors with theirs because we were best friends and it was like we were wearing a bit of each other on our wrists. I was […]
I am 7 years old and my face and hands are covered in paint. I am about to throw an open bottle of glitter at my 5-year-old cousin Michael because he said my painting was dumb (a statement with which I disagreed and thought was quite rude). My grandma deftly snatches the glitter bottle out […]

Sometimes the best Mother’s Day doesn’t include a fancy brunch or expensive gifts, but a thrifty stress-free activity that the family can do together. One of the most fun and rewarding […]
Who would have ever predicted that duct tape projects and crafts would ever become a thing? Seriously though! Growing up, duct tape was always the silver tape that I’d use to tape up a box or that I’d hate to use because it left a hard-to-remove residue. It wasn’t hip. It wasn’t the cool thing […]
While this winter isn’t nearly as bad as last winter, there have still been quite a few snow days. In my experience, the best things to pass a snow day are easy crafts for kids. After all, who says that learning can’t happen on snow days? By keeping your kids occupied with fun and easy […]
Celebrate Memorial Day the crafty way with these patriotic projects!
