It´s A Tape Party!!

 

I meant to post this earlier but life with 3 kids under 5 years (at that time) can come in your way...

In November my little boy turned 3. He clearly remembered his sisters Fabric Craft Party and wanted something as fun as that. Well, with 3 year old boys you might want to choose some quick and easy crafts instead. So I turned to Washi Tape for help (and I always wanted a reason to get all those beautiful tapes anyway...)

Some ideas for craft projects I found on Pinterest as always.

And here is what we´ve done: 

 tape flags for cupcakes

tape candle wrapper

tape people made of craft sticks

tape city - streets, cars, tracks, trains...

tags and cards

straw labels

Crafty Tea Party for a 5 Year Old

We like to keep the kids´ birthday parties small but craft intense. After last years Fabric Craft Party it took me a while to come up with a new theme... but finally I had the idea to make it a Tea Party with cake decorating and dish towel stamping. For not getting to messy while stamping, I also made aprons for all kids to take home afterwards. 
This idea initially came to me because my kids like to play that the playroom is their house, so I thought why not make it look like a house and invite their friends over for a tea party. 

I´ve created a Pinterest board where I´ve collected some neat ideas that go with the theme. 

And here are some impressions about how it turned out:

Happy Birthday to my not so little 5 year old girl!!

Sunny Spring Skirt

Spring is just around the corner and bright colors are everywhere this year. That´s why I made this nice yellow striped knit pencil skirt today.

I used an existing skirt as my pattern

That´s the waist band (doubled lengthwise)

 Just have to finish the hem...

And here it is: my sunny spring skirt!
