Life sucks

Lolly pop gifts

I made these gifts for two friends of mine. I think they are a really clever take on words and anything that involves lolly pops is always a winner with me.


The tag on the above gift says LIFE SUCKS! and your the best sucker i know.


This is something I saw a while ago and although three of my friends have been 30 I have only just got round to making this one.
30 SUCK!  Great for a 30th birthday and not what they will be expecting!


pillow boxes

Pillow gift box.
 
 These are really nice and easy to make and they look so pretty.
They can be used for so many things and are great for decorating.



I used this for a present and used pink paper, ribbon and pink buttery fly embellishment, you could use any colour scheme black and gold looks very chic and using bright red, blue, green and yellow has a fun rainbow effect that can be used for children. 


Here are the links and there are plenty more to choose from on this site
Thank you Home made gifts made easy!!!


This is for a large A4 pillow box template


This is for two smaller templates






paint chip flowers for mother's day

Paint chip flowers

Like any crafter when I see something for free I must have it, so when on a trip to buy some paint I came across these paint chips and thought they may come in handy.


They did and in the form of a paper flower that the kids can make.


I used a circle punch because I have one but you can just cut of circles if you don't have one.


Arrange the circles so that they resemble a flower.


I then cut out a stem from green paper and added the flowers to the top.

There you go great idea for mother's Day!

Tissue paper fun

Tissue paper pictures


Right this isn't really me telling you how to make tissue paper pictures, this is me showing you what fun you can have with bits of tissue paper, glue, paper and a few paper shapes.


I think sometimes as parents we forget that fun things don't have to be totally structured or cost a fortune just simple materials, a bit of time (and patience ) and letting the kids do there own thing can be so much fun.


 

Have a go and enjoy watching your kids crate something great!
 




paper crocodile

Paper Crocodile
 

Another nice easy one for the kids to do.
You will need green card or study green paper, scissors and something for the croc's eyes. We used, me and Dylan that is, tissue paper rolled in to a small ball.




This is the link to the printable template



 I folded the top of the green paper and placed my template over the top. Then drew around and cut it out.


When its cut out, lay flat and fold back the little V cuts then fold in half again.
Either draw on the eyes use tissue paper or goggle eyes and draw on a mouth.
There you have it a paper crocodile !!
