Craft Ideas

I've been in a super crafty mood lately and since I'm bored out of my mind being home all day, anything to keep me busy!  Yesterday I made Marisah some flip flops with ribbons tied around the straps since she gets blisters from the plastic straps.  Lucky for me the ribbon I found happen to be on sale for 27 cents and peace signs are her favorite.  The flip flops were only $1 so the project was super cheap and easy.  You can do this with any pair of flip flops you have laying around.  It is much cheaper than buying fabric flip flops and it is pretty much the same concept.


The next project that I would like to try to tackle is to make road trip pillow cases.  I found them on Pinterest.  All you have to do is sew a fabric pocket onto an existing pillow case and the kids can put books, crafts, toys, etc in the pocket.  There was also a carrying strap on the ones I saw on Pinterest.  I think it would be perfect for our road trips to NC and can easily be done with fabric laying around the house.  You can take old clothes, sheets, blankets, etc for the pocket.


I wonder what else I can do.  I have a couple of empty walls that I would like to add some decoration to, so I'll have to think about what to do with them.  I was thinking of getting some blank canvases and having the kids paint something for me.
