Holiday crafts for little hands: Pin Ideas!

If you're looking for my holiday decor Giveaway you still have time to enter! Hurry, go here!

I'm always trying to find fun, easy and totally 'doable' crafts for my kids to engage in.  My girls are craft fiends like their Mama, so I wanted to share a few of my fun 'craft finds' with all of you.  I've mentioned how insanely FOND I am of Pinterest.  Here are some ideas straight from the Pin!

Enjoy, have fun, be creative, go wild, laugh, chuckle, make a mess, switch it up, over do it, 

but most of all, create sweet sweet memories 

with your little darlings...♥

Colored Rice Now how cute is that?! Rice feels great in the hands and it's a lot less messy than sand. So simple to create too! (click the link to view instructions) 

I would do Red & Green colors for xmas.

Googly eye ornaments! This 'looks' like so much fun.  I'd guess a plastic clear ornament and dabs of paint with crazy eyes set in each dab.  Fun, simple and SO adorable! 

My daughter, Sabrina, fell in LOVE with this plastic cup ornament.  I may just have to try it too! 

Paper snowflake garland! So simple (& for the scissor savvy bigger kid) 

Just fold and cut away different parts 

and then open up your paper to see what you ended up with.  

I would do a variety of colors and then hang them on bakers twine.

These are mini terra cotta pots! How adorable and easy as well.  

There is so much that you can create once your creative juices start bubbling out.  

Hope you've found some 'holiday' crafty inspiration! I'd love to hear where you find ideas too.  

Happy crafting with little hands!

Pinterest {whore} & a little 'hand' craft

I'll admit it.  I'm an official Pinterest Whore! 


I was introduced to Pinterest  over the summer by a dear mama friend of mine.  When I first heard of it, I was like 'Waa??' but when I took a peek, I was like 'Whaaat was I missing?!' I was hooked and immediately starting pinning, re-pinning and sharing on my Facebook & Twitter.

I still have to organize my boards a little better (working on it).  I can't speak enough about how incredibly AWESOME this site is.  What geniuses that came up with the entire concept! Kudos to them!

I've already been searching and pinning fun stuff for Christmas and the holidays in general.  I love getting ideas from here and so will you.  I promise!  Sometimes you'll even score a short 'picture' tutorial which is fab because if you're like me, a visual learner, it's super fun and easy to follow.  I suck at reading directions. Ugg! It's annoying but I try when I have to.

Cute Craft with brown lunch bag

Rice Krispy Snow Men! The girls want to make these! So cute! 

Above are my $1 mini mittens turned X-Mas Banner.  I've been meaning to post this easy tutorial.  

I made a simple banner by sewing fabric letters onto the mittens and then running red/white bakers twine as the banner hanger.  It's super easy if you're sewing savvy (at a basic level).  

I LOVE this wreath! I may re-vamp my x-mas wreath to something like this.  Naturally my Sabrina wants the wreath to have HER initial.  She's too much! It'll be a 'J' instead.  

So waste no more time and type your fingers on over to Pinterest and get yourself an account and start pinning and sharing your finds.   I said, GO!! 

HAPPY PINNING AND RE-PINNING Pinterest'ers!
