Simple Valentine’s Day Card and Wrapping Paper

Simple Valentine’s Day Card and Wrapping Paper

It has been a while since we have done anything crafty and with Valentine's just around the corner today we decided to have a go at some homemade wrapping paper and Valentine's card. Supplies for this are very simple so great if you are on a budget. We used: Brown paper Red paint Toilet roll tube White card Googley eyes   For the wrapping paper we simply squished our toilet roll tube a bit to make a slightly wonky heart shape, dipped in the paint and stamped away.  The other paint pots came in handy for holding the paper flat.   For the card ...

Pretty Pots: Easy Kids Craft

Ok so here is how to NOT make a pretty pot, at least if you do it our way. This has to go down as a major craft fail on our part but with smaller beads it might actually work. The inspiration of this craft came firmly from C-Beebies Mister Maker, during a thunderstorm, and facing an entire day stuck inside...we did what we had to folks! And the boy LOVED it, which is what counts. Right? So, if you too want to own a 'pretty pot' like ours this is what you will need:     One empty jar Mod podge Glue/paint brushes Beads...smaller than ours, or sequins ...

Crafty Crafty: Pretty Upcycled Glass Bottle Vase

Crafty Crafty: Pretty Upcycled Glass Bottle Vase

This is such a simple upcycling craft. I have recently been drinking quite a lot of Bottle Green cordials and each time I place the empty bottle in the recycling it seems like such a shame.  They are a really lovely shape. Finally I decided to hang on to a few and see what I could make with them and a vase seemed an obvious choice. For this all you will need is an empty glass bottle, craft gems/rhinestones which can be found in my amazon store and craft glue. First I soaked the bottle for an hour or so in warm, soapy water before removing the labels. Then I simply stuck on ...

And there you have it, no-dye spotty Easter Eggs for a pretty Easter table centrepiece. Happy Easter! ...

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
