All tagged Hand Crafts
For my dad’s birthday, we made a craft using work gloves and Melody’s handprint. I saw this a while back and knew I had to recreate it. I do wish the gloves did not have a logo on it, but I also didn’t want to pay an astronomical amount on gloves that I do not intend for him to use.
For my mom’s birthday I wanted to come up with a craft that didn’t require me to go into any stores to buy anything. I do have a lot of craft supplies at home, but we have used a lot of them over this quarantine, ha! So I decided to make this cute craft I have seen all over Pinterest, but used what we had at home to do it.
I always find Father’s Day crafts just a bit harder than any other craft. I don’t really know why. This year I found the perfect crafts for our dad’s, but Brad was the hardest one of all. I eventually found something online I liked and went with it. I ideally wanted things that involved her footprint, but she is awful when it comes to putting paint on her feet. This means I need Brad’s help which would ruin the surprise. So we went another route.
So obviously teacher gifts were a little harder this year. We did get to see Melody’s teachers briefly during a pickup of their things this week. So I wanted to do something small along with a gift card. So I opted to make bookmarks just like I made our moms for Mother’s Day. I won’t go into much detail since it’s exactly the same, but I did leave a blank copy below if you want to make your own!
Since we haven’t been able to see our parents in person, we thought it would be nice to mail them a happy from Melody. This only required a little bit of paint, and it was a fairly quick craft!
So this year we obviously have a lot more time at home to do and prepare for things. One thing we do a LOT of are crafts (in case all of my posts these days doesn’t give that away). Well I wanted to do something fun for our mom’s (and myself) for Mother’s Day this year. So I decided to make us all bookmarks! You don’t have to do everything I do for this; I just happen to have a lot of craft supplies, ha!
So while we did this craft as an Easter craft, it can definitely be a craft you can do anytime of year. We plan to display this cross year around. Because of this, I did it on a canvas instead of regular paper. But this also can be done on regular paper too!
As I mentioned Tuesday, I wanted to do a special card for our parents for Valentine’s Day that involved Melody’s hands. For my parents I decided to make a bouquet of flower. It was so cute, I actually made one for us to put with our Valentine’s Day decor! Oh and this would be a cute card for any occasion!
I wanted to give both of our parents a little sweet Valentine’s Day card from Melody. I decided to try and incorporate her hand prints in the cards since she is much better with paint these days. After look around on Pinterest, I found an idea I absolutely loved for Brad’s parents. His parents live in Memphis, and we don’t get to see them as regularly as my parents. So the idea of a “long distance hug” was perfect!
