Fall crafts

September is here and with that for me at least FALL. I was born in the Spring, and I love Spring, but Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love wearing jeans and hoodies and flip-flops. At least where I live (NC) that is until October still possible. After that it is knee high leather boots for me. LOVE IT!

This week I have done the first fall craft with my 2 kiddos. We made trees and their colored leaves.

My walls in the playroom are totally empty now so I can hang these up and decorate the room again.

Halloween prep

I love fall and all the craftsy things you can do during it. I love crafting, baking and decorating the most. This year I will try making Halloween costumes, but first this. I seen this idea on Pinterest and tried to give it a go with my kids, who are 1 and 3.

Jewelry box or wipe box?

Today I made my custom wipe box. I got bored looking at the plastic for a while now, so I grabbed some things and started "dressing" it. I got the idea to make it look like a jewelry box.

Here is what I used:

An Empty Wipe Box

A Glue Gun

Old PJ's

Ribbon

Fake Flowers

Charms

Scissor

Let's get started:

I use the glue gun to glue the fabric to the box. It's pretty simple and when it gets messy, I can easily wipe the glue away and start over.

I make sure that the fabric "sticks" to the box, before I glue another side.

After I am done with the fabric on the box and the lid, I glue the ribbon on the edges of the box.

Once I am done with that, I use (but that is a personal taste) some "fuzzy ribbon" like a boa, and put this around the edge of the lid.

I then strip a yellow and white flower and combine them to ONE flower. I use some charms to create my daughters name "Lora" and some shiny charms to make it look like a "jewelry box".

I will grab a new pack of wipes, cut it open and put them in the box.

And that is it! Now I have a "fancy" diaper wipe box!

Crafty Friday (Jan 21)

I was kinda bored today and with Lora sleeping in the swing, I had some time for myself.

The past few weeks I have been reading forums for babies and seen that mamas post pictures of their babies wearing these cute head bands. I also checked etsy.com and some women are selling head bands on this website.

I had to go to the doctor this morning, but afterwards I dragged myself to "wallyworld" and bought fake flowers, head bands a glue gun and glue. By the time I got home Lora had passed out in the car seat. I woke her up however to feed her and she went straight back

to sleep in her swing.

I had about 2 hours for myself now and I started making flowers. I ripped the flowers I bought apart and my whole table was covered with leaves. Now it was time to mix and match! I took some old head bands I had, but never used cause they are so tight, and stripped down the bows on them too. Nice, now I had some nice center pieces as well.

Maybe I should start selling them too.. *halo*
