More Chore Chart ideas

I had to do a little mini class about cleaning with kids for our what was formerly known as enrichment. :) I brought my original chore chart and made a couple knew ones to share (and give away.) This one is super cute if you have a girl. Looks just like flowers in a vase. I got one of those cylinder green floral Styrofoam things and wrapped some cute material around it. Stuck it in the vase, and tied a ribbon around it.
I made some felt flowers and wrapped some skweres in floral tape.

I glued some laminated clip art on the backof the flowers with the skewer in between. It was a little tricky so I used both hot glue and E6000. The E6000 takes a while to try so the hot glue was to bind and hold instantly.

The fish one is the same idea... but I didn't have enough time to make felt fish. That would be much cuter. Maybe next time....

Bracelets for the Kiddos

So I totally stole this idea from my mom. I was at her house this last weekend and she was making these adorable bracelets for her nursery kids. They were really fun to make, and since they are made of felt.... very minimal sewing. They look super cute on those tiny little wrists!
My boys love theirs!

Here are the ones my mom was making for the little girls. Isn't that adorable! Some day I can make cute things like this for my own little girl.....

hopefully. :)

Pillows for my Bed

Our bedroom has kind of been a work in progress for quite some time. I made the pillow shams last year and I had been meaning to make throw pillows for a long time. I finally got some cute ideas and here are the results. I think they turned out pretty cute!

I got the tutorial for this one on Make It and Love It. Hers obviously looks pretty darn perfect, but I am no where near a perfectionist and was quite happy with my results. :) I also didn't make mine a slip cover. I think straight up pillows are easier.
This one was my idea and super easy. Just sewed ribbon on one side. I love sewing ribbon on to things!
I also got this one from Make it and Love it. I love the bright colors she used... but it wouldn't really work on my bed.
I got the material to make some for our couches, I am super excited about them. I have many lists of projects to do, so don't worry... many more posts to come soon. :)
