Spray Paint T-shirts

We made spray-painted T-shirts this week for our YW activity. They turned out so cute and the girls had a lot of fun!

We bought cheap Hanes v-neck T-shirts from Walmart. It was cheaper if you bought them in a pack of 5.

3- let dry (about 10 minutes)

4-Remove tape, stickers, rubberbands etc...

5- The shirts are a little crunchy when you are done. Throw them in the washer and dryer before wearing!

3 little birds

A cute little spring dish towel using your scraps of cute fabric.

1-cut any shape out of scraps of fabric (we chose birds)

2- Use Iron-on pellon to applique the birds to the dishtowel

3-Hand stitch (we used embroidery thread) around applique. you could definately machine stitch too.

4-Embellish!!

What a cute little spring addition to your kitchen, or quick gift for a friend or neighbor.

And way way cheaper than $18 dishtowels from Anthropologie see HERE!

{spring} week

this week I thought I'd share an Easter/spring craft, treat etc... Today it was a little rainy and grey so I thought I'd brighten things up a little with some fresh flowers.

Jane has a friend Lisa who is the Queen of vintage crafts. She had given Jane some amazing tulips in a vintage inspired vase a few weeks ago and I knew I needed to make one for myself! Thanks Lisa for the beautiful idea! (The spring subway art printable behind my tulips can be found HERE)
Last fall Lisa also taught Jane to make these adorable vintage inspired baskets. What an Amazing lady huh? I made one for Christmas and knew I definitely NEEDED a cute lil' Easter Basket! Every year Jane & I plant our own Easter Grass (wheat grass) to use for decorations around the house. It is easy-to-do and CHEAP! It takes about 2-3 weeks to grow. I didn't take pictures of the process but found a great tutorial over at yourhomebased mom HERE (If you are in a time crunch and need Easter grass, most health food stores (good earth) sell wheat grass by the flat)

cut chicken wire to desired height and length with wire cutters. . Bring the two ends together and bend wire over to connect ends.

LEGACY BOXES
For the 1st part of the Lesson I talked about our legacy as an LDS church. For the 2nd part of the lesson I talked more about our own personal legacy. For the handout I made these cute little treat boxes and filled them with jelly beans. I had them write a few things about what they wanted their legacy to be. How they want to be remembered. I told them when their candy was gone to put their Legacy List in their cute little Legacy box.

I thought these would make cute little bunny boxes too.

Spring printable

I {LOVE} the blog Eighteen25. They always have the cutest ideas and tons of DIY projects. They have these adorable printables I have been using for all the holidays. They are all 16x20 so you can just change them out in the same frame. It only costs about $6 to print that size at costco.
