Family Craft Ideas
with Leah
I'm Leah--wife, mother, editor, writer, photographer, and rickrack apologist. There's craftiness in my DNA, but between the kids and my work and the house and the television and my blogs (http://www.agirlandaboy and http://www.workitmom.com/bloggers/workingonmotherhood, among others), I have to keep my projects quick and easy if I hope to finish them before my boys (born December 2008 and July 2012) graduate from college. You're a working mom and you're busy too, but if you still want to get your craft on, join me here for some fun projects!
5 Last-Minute St. Patrick’s Day Crafts (Plus a Few Early Easter Ones)
|
Do you always forget about St. Patrick’s Day until oops, it’s here? Yeah, me too. Here are five simple last-minute crafts you can do with or for your family to celebrate, just in the nick of time.
Felt Clovers
[Image from Pinterest, with unfortunately no clues as to whose original photo this is.]
I made some of these last year and turned them into pins. (This is a perfect use for leftover felt if you made the easy felt trees for Christmas.)
Clover Treats
I Heart Nap Time posted this five-minute DIY by Talitha of Love, Pomegranate House. All you need is paper, staples/glue/tape, and your favorite gold-wrapped candy. (Mmmm…Rolos…)
Rainbow Parfaits
You know how I love rainbows.
[From Bubbly Nature Creations]
Shamrock Braid
It’s easier than it looks. Oh, to have a little girl!
[From Bowmania]
Bell Pepper Shamrock Stamps
Use green peppers to stamp shamrocks onto craft paper for a St. Patty’s dinner tablecloth.
[From Train Up a Child]
And of course there’s still time to make a rainbow ribbon windcatcher too.

And while I have your attention, Easter’s early this year (March 31, in two and a half weeks!), so here are some ideas if you want to get a jumpstart on that.
Paper Strip Easter Egg Art
I LOVE this idea and am going to steal and modify for all the holidays forever and ever.
[From Minted's blog, Julep]
Easter Surprise Eggs
I’ve always wanted to make these. (The easy version, for sure.) Maybe this year’s the year?
[From Not Martha]
How are you with planning for the holidays? Are you a Plan-Ahead Polly or a Last-Minute Leah?
