Crafty Tuesday :)

Pin It Didn't know if I was going to have anything for this week or not and then I remembered I had some stuff painted that I hadn't used before. I have done some toilet paper crafts before, here's the link, but I had some already painted that we didn't use.  Maddie helped me with the flowers and the design of it.  She really had fun with it!  Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest.

We also did another ring for her.  Since she is obsessed with google eyes we put some on a ring blank for her.
She's all sweaty from the 2 mile walk we just took.  Proud of her, she did pretty well with the walk.

Oh and we also made a flag craft for the 4th of July.  She did a pretty good job on it too.  Used some felt to make this by gluing it to some card stock and then used a silver permanent marker to make the stars.  (didn't have any white to use)

I have been searching all over for where I saw the idea of using toilet paper rolls to make pretty wall decorations.  She did hers like a vine and it was so pretty!!  I decided to make crosses out of mine.  I might have to try the vine one later on.  Who knows, the possibilities are endless!!  Thanks to whoever that was I saw this idea from!!

Of course I didn't do the middle cross.  Found that one at Hobby Lobby!

I know one of them is a little crooked since I had it sitting on the bookshelf for a few weeks.  oops! 

Finally found a site that had the Toilet Paper Wall Art idea from.  It's still not the one that I got my idea from but it is basically the same idea.  Still gorgeous!  Here is another link at Some Day Crafts she has some other cute links for a little different project too.  Very cute and creative!

What I did was smoosh the toilet paper roll a little bit so that it made an oval, cut with a razor, scalpel or whatever sharp craft tool you have on hand.  Then I glued them together and spray painted them!  Easy as that! 

 When I made my daughter's flower vine I painted them first then glued them together.  When doing it with multiple colors it is easier to paint them first, let them dry then glue together.  Have fun!!

Ok so they really turned out to be pants.  lol  I think they turned out really cute!!  Of course I got my idea again from Sew Mama Sew    Like I said she has the cutest stuff!!!  

I found some scraps I had that reminded me of Easter eggs so I decided to sew it up last night.  Well it ended up more as a ball than an egg.  lol  She still likes it. Here she is carrying it around like a little cat.  

Here are some binoculars we made form toilet paper rolls.  I have been saving them for little projects and this was one of the first things she wanted.  So glad she is happy with cheap toys!
