dollar store crafts - Finger puppets

rainy day crat project, rainy day idea, crafting with kids, crafting with grandkids, dollar store crafts
If your kids are like mine it can be frustrating to spend hours making them some awesome thing you just know they will love only to have them throw it down after about 15 minutes. So here is a fun, cheap, dollar store craft that only uses pipe cleaners, glue, pompoms, and craft eyes. Infact the kids can help you make them. and if you are really thrifty like me, when they are done playing with them you can deconstruct them and make something else with them later.

Have fun, go wild, use your imagination. You can twist them and bend them into any type of finger puppet you want. make finger puppet people, finger puppet pets, finger puppet farm animals,  you could make an entire finger puppet family. you could probably use a cereal box to make a finger puppet theater if you get your creative juices flowing.

What fun for just pennies per puppet..

The basic idea is to coil the pipe cleaner around your finger, leaving enough room at the end to shape your head. then glue on some eyes, maybe a pompom nose, or you could even cut felt pieces to glue on for facial features and hands and or feet..

This is a fun, quick, creative craft project perfect for sunday school, summer camp, rainy days,

Bottle cap furniture

check out this idea for recycling bottle caps. Imagine the hours the crafter must have put into these pieces of furniture. If you look closely there is a clock on both the chair and dresser for a nice added touch. Im pretty certain you would be the only one in the neighborhood to have a set like this. So what are you waiting for get started and send me pictures of your finished bottle cap projects.
What ideas do you have for recycling used bottle caps?
Post your ideas and/or pictures in the comment section below.

Crayon Hearts



I found these on Martha Stewart Living web site and I think they are so pretty. It is shown as a valentines craft but I think it would be pretty anytime. You could even tweak the shape to be for halloween, or christmas, or.. the 4th of july. Kids will be coming home tomorrow with all of this years broken crayons and now I know what I will be doing with them. My only concern is them melting in a southern summer window. I think I would probably recommend hanging them in a window that doesn't get direct sunlight. Ill post my results in the next few days. Until then click the lin or the picture to go to the instructions.

uno card dress

Found this at the Naughty Secretary club and fell in love with it. I barely crochet but for this I would learn. The only thing is that you couldnt wash it. But I love it anyway and I sooo want one so if anyone wants to make this and send me one feel free to do so.
