Smurfette costume and make-up

This beautiful Smurf hat was custom made by Molly at Molly-B-Cuties and really put together the random things thrown together, into a very life like version of Smurfette! 

Mops centerpieces! Faux spills!

This will be my year and a half mark at being a member of Mother's of Preschoolers through my local church. I feel so good to be using my gifts this year as co-craft coordinator! 

 

 

This years theme is A Beautiful Mess. After some serious pinning faux spills and messes represented the beautiful mess of motherhood! 

 

This craft was much easier than I imagined! And I had everything I needed in my basic craft supplies! 

 

What you'll need:

Wax paper, I've read plastic wrap will also work

Elmer's Glue 

Paint the color of what you're spilling.

What to do: 

Lay out wax paper, this will be your canvas, it will be removable, or you can leave the paper and cut the edges off for a little more stability! Mix together the glut and the paint, I used about a 2:1 glue to paint ratio. I end up needing to put a small saucer under my coffee mug to keep the spill from getting to large! 

 

 

 I used foam and skewers from the dollar store to dress up this spill and make it look more like this years Motto!

***Leave lots of time for drying, expect 24 to 48 hours for a completely dry spill! 

DIY Homemade Paint, FAIL!

If you're a Pinner, with kids, I'm sure you've come across homemade finger paints!

Bellow is the Pinned recipe we used for homemade finger paints:

Knowing my child would love making this paint, we found little success in the paint itself, it became to gooey, slimy and sticky! 

 

Looks like we will continue using Crayola for now, there is no comparison!

Fall Decor DIY coffee filter wreath

 

I made this craft, much harder than it needed to be, by dying my coffee filters in Chia tea, for the extra aroma.  I would suggest for time constraints, you just pick up the color you want from the store.

For the frame of the wreath I used an old fan cover! It gave me just the right spacing to hot glue my filters on!

I attached everything with hot glue, with a little ribbon and a big bow, it really gives it a classy shabby chic look!
