Craft Day Tuesdays - Necklace plus Art

 Does inspiration ever come to you at the weirdest times? It does me.  I went to Hobby Lobby on Saturday.  I was a woman on a mission.  I knew exactly what I needed.  I had a short window of time...then BAM!  Inspiration struck.  I saw these tiny wooden discs and I thought, "I know our next project!"

 We painted the discs pale blue.  It took very little paint to do 4, so a whole bottle of paint would probably paint 50+.  Then, we went off to play while they dried.

 Later, we drew the "scenery" with Sharpie markers.  Just fun things like sunshine, grass, rainbow, etc.  Easy, right?

We picked which button would go with each scene (Dress It Buttons - aren't they cute?).  I hot glued on the buttons.  I burn my fingers ev.ery.time.  Then, I hot glued the ribbon on the back for the necklace.

They turned out sooo cute.  I might make theses with my nieces and nephew, too.  They were a hit!

8 wooden discs - $1.99
Blue paint - $1.00
Ribbon - $1.00
We already had the Sharpies and the buttons

Are you inspired to make some adorable necklaces?  I think I want to wear the unicorn one!  :)

Have a fun and playful day!

Make a Sprinkles Necklace

We are totally making these necklaces soon!  Aren't they adorable???  A certain 4 year old said, "You can never have too many sprinkles."  And that's how we live in this house - sprinkles go on EVERYTHING!  You need only a few items - little bottles (these found on etsy), ribbon (also found on etsy or Michaels), an eye hook (not pictured), and of course some sprinkles.  Pour the sprinkles in - maybe with a funnel, put the cork in, screw in the eye hook, add the ribbon, and tie! Ta-da! Easy Peasy!
Have a fun & playful day
