In my last post I gave you some project ideas that you can
do with the kids using our everyday products and inspiration from our Pinterest boards. Here's a few more ideas
to inspire you using paper lanterns, clothespins, ribbon, baker's twine, lace
and iron on transfers.
Paper lanterns are not just for weddings and parties, let
the kids decorate their bedrooms with paper lanterns that they have decorated
with paint, tissue paper, decorative paper napkins or fabric
pieces.
Clothespins are available in a variety of different sizes and colours. Let
the kids decorate inexpensive clothespins with paint, markers, glitter tape and more. Embellished clothespins on paper bags are a wonderful idea for a child's birthday party favor.
Make an entrance with a ribbon curtain on a door. This project takes me back to a time when I was a teenager and I begged my Mom to take the door off my bedroom closet so I could hang a funky beaded curtain in it's place.
Baker's twine can be braided or used with leather and felt
scraps to create funky bracelets.
String art can be created using any kind of string but I
think that baker's twine would give this 1960's craft technique a modern
twist. This is a great string art idea for the kids - spell out their names on long pieces of wood and hang the finished art in their bedrooms.
What little girl doesn't dream of being a princess? Make
princess crowns using crochet lace ribbon or lace ribbon and fabric stiffener. You can add
metallic paint, glitter and rhinestones afterwards if you want the crowns to sparkle.
Older fashionistas might like to decorate their denim shorts
with lace or crochet lace ribbon. Sew the lace ribbon on by hand or give older kids a lesson on how to use the
sewing machine with this basic sewing project.
Use iron on transfers on scraps of fabric or napkins and
frame them in embroidery hoops. You can teach older children a few basic embroidery stitches and create a unique piece of art. Younger
children can embellish the iron on transfer design using fabric markers and glitter glue instead
of using needles and thread!
October is not that far away and if your child is into
superhero these tee shirts are a fun idea for now and they can be reused later for Halloween!
The project pin will take you to a website with the artwork for the superhero
icons to use with our iron on transfers.
Note: Iron on transfers require adult supervision during the ironing stage.
