Bird Feeder

We needed a cheap, easy activity for the girls. Bird Feeders!

First Step:

Spread on a thick layer of Peanut Butter/Butter onto a pine cone.

Step Two: Roll it around in the seed.

(Thanks Theresa for letting us borrow some!)

Make sure it's nice and coated...yummy for those birds!

Or kids?

All coated and ready for a string.

Tie a string on top...

And find a nice guy...aka daddy...to hang em up!

Step Four: Find youngster....still eating.

And there ya have it! Fun, Easy, and inexpensive!

Paper Shirt

Here's a link to make a fun little paper shirt. Great for a Father's Day card or just to let the kids decorate!

PAPER SHIRT

I used it for an activity with the children I teach at church. I had them write something nice on the inside and then do a service for someone that week and give them the card.

:o)

Blog Swap Tutorial -Crayon Roll

I got to blog swap today for my first time!! Check out how to make this Crayon Roll on Crafty Momma Diva.

Lacing Shapes

My sister gave me a great idea and a bunch of photo mats one day. Lacing Shapes. Simple and easy. Here's how I did it:

Get something sturdy and somewhat thick...like the photo mats.

Trace a shape on them.

Cut them out with either scissors or an exacto knife.

Draw little dots on your shapes appox. where you want your holes to go. (no, mine are NOT even.)

Using either a drill/bit or a paper punch, make your holes.

I tried the drill and it ripped my paper pretty good in some spots...be careful.

I have a three hole punch that I used on most of the holes and it was easy as pie, but harder to know exactly where to line it up. Oh well, a hole is a hole. :o)

Then tie a ribbon, shoe string, or something of the sort on to one hole. Burn the ends if using ribbon to seal them nicely. Then give them plenty of ribbon to lace it any which way you want.

Told ya it was easy!
