Craft in a Minute....Chalkboards!

Just in to share a fun little thing that I put together for the kids on their room doors today! Michaels has mini chalkboard stickers on sale for .79 for a pack of 10 and I knew just the right place for them. I popped 4 of these on each door with a sticker in the center (since the puzzle pieces don't connect exactly) and then I took a small basket of chalk for each room and hung it on the door handle (This works, since doors are never ever allowed to be closed here) with a sponge piece from the dollar store. The stickers remove easily and don't leave residue behind. As you can tell from the pink wall, this is my daughters room! I did all these while they were in school and when they all arrived home, the kids were so amazed and started in right away!!

Crafting Stop!

 

 During the average week, I will make about 3 trips to Michaels and I love to check out every single nook and cranny and to see what's new and what all I can use in upcoming projects! I'm there constantly, since I am usually running in for custom work that someone requests from my shop. This week their 1.00 carousel has a VARIETY of alphabet stamps!! I love these for learning projects, making cards with the kids and all around just fooling around! These were such a steal, I took 3 different ones!

One of my favorite tips to do when I shop, is to print out my coupon and write my list on the back of it!! Since I constantly have my list with my as I shop, I know that I will not forget to hand over my coupon! I always get my craft store coupons online.

Here is this weeks coupon, just click to enlarge and then print! Enjoy your weekend readers!!!

Craft in a Minute!

 This week's craft in a minute is so simple! This is a great way to breathe new life into an old puzzle or make some fun magnets. It's a great craft that even the youngest learners can get involved! The total for this project came out to be under 3.00!You need magnetic tape (2.99 with a 40% off coupon from Michaels) scissors and any old wooden puzzle, I picked this one up in the dollar section of Michaels too!

 Today, my partner was my 5 year old son! I used the scissors to cut the magnetic strips into the right sizes for each letter. I let him peel and stick away!! Before they were even done, the kids all had their magnetic boards out and were playing away!!

Can you tell they loved them???!!!
