    Paper plate weather station

    July 8, 2015 - By 

    We were recently sent a box of arts and crafts supplies from Baker Ross. The children really enjoyed opening them as they sent a mixture of fun craft kits and supplies. These foam weather stickers immediately caught our eye. The pack contained around 100 of 24 different designs so the children had fun trying to find them all. I asked them what they wanted to create and they said paper plate weather stations. There aren’t many photographs because this is a quick and easy craft activity. Time to make: 10 minutes Equipment needed to make a paper plate weather station:…

    Jenny Makes Mollie Makes dreamcatcher kit

    June 23, 2015 - By 

    Today I’m going back to my blog roots and I’m going to share the latest Mollie Makes craft kit with you. I’ve subscribed to Mollie Makes from the first issue but pretty embarrassed to say I only ever made a few of the free gifts, I think my favourite was a cute little leather Valentine brooch. In a bid to kick start my creativity I’ve decided to make the cover gift each month and blog about it (you can see a previous attempt here). Jenny Makes Mollie Makes dreamcatcher kit Now I can’t knit or crochet so some months I…

    Jenny Makes Mollie Makes star hoop stitch kit from issue 53. There were 3 sweet designs to choose from, a piece of navy blue fabric and a gorgeous turquoise plastic embroidery hoop. Mollie Makes star hoop stitch kit The instructions recommended using coloured transfer paper on to the dark fabric. Unfortunately the kit didn’t include any so I bought a pack of coloured transfer paper from eBay and waited for it to arrive. I used blue transfer paper but it didn’t work at all so I used white transfer paper which worked perfectly. I stitched the pattern in an hour…
