Silk Flower Fairies - A Super Cute & Simple Fairy Garden Kids Craft!

These silk flower fairies are so simple to make for your fairy garden and they're super cute! If you're looking for fairy garden kids crafts for summer, this easy fairy gardening craft is perfect! It's incredibly frugal too! My daughter made 8 Silk Flower Fairies for our planters from a singular bunch of silk roses (the entire bunch was just .97 cents) and a handful of painted wooden beads (we found a big bag of them at Dollar Tree), along with a few additional very basic supplies.

Friends, the one thing that my daughter never seems to tire of as the years pass, is fairy gardens. They're whimsical and timeless. While there are a TON of fairy garden ideas on Pinterest, and so many items that you can purchase to add to your fairy garden, I still enjoy the handmade items the most. Handmade / DIY fairy dolls, DIY fairy garden furniture,  DIY fairy houses. It's such a fun way to see a child's imagination on full display. Making / crafting little bobbles with your child / children from their fairy garden is also a fun boredom buster on long hot summer days. The memories that I have collected over the past several years, assembling these adorable fairy garden treasures, are completely magical and priceless. It's one of my most treasured summertime traditions.

Reusable Felt + Fabric DIY Easter Basket Grass Alternative #ILikeSchleich + A Fun Contest!

This post is sponsored by Schleich®. All opinions expressed are my own.

With Easter just weeks away, it's time to start thinking about Easter basket treats for the kids! This reusable felt and fabric DIY Easter basket grass alternative is so incredibly easy to put together. When complete, it sets a super cute stage for one of my favorite non-candy Easter basket treats for kids too; Schleich ® Farm World figures and play sets! While I absolutely adore the entire collection, the Rabbit Hutch play set, Shiba Inu Mother and Puppy, Rabbit, Rooster and Lamb figures are great for gifting this Easter holiday.

Moment of honesty? Friends, I've forgotten the lovely shredded Easter basket grass the past few years in a row now. At the eleventh hour, I've simply wound up using whatever I've had on-hand to add a bit fluff to the bottom of the Easter baskets. Year after year! Not this year though. I decided to prep a little early for the upcoming Easter holiday by making a super cute reusable alternative to Easter basket grass, with a handful of supplies that I already had on-hand. My favorite part? Look how super cute the Schleich figures and Schleich Rabbit hutch play set looks presented atop this reusable Easter basket grass insert! Just adorable. The Rabbit Hutch play set is so perfect for Easter. It comes with the the rabbit hutch, a faux log tunnel, rabbit figures, a fence and the cutest accessories for endless hours of imaginative play and learning fun.

DIY Dollar Tree Funnel Set Christmas Trees

These DIY Dollar Tree Funnel Set Christmas Trees, turned out so cute!  My favorite part? They only cost about $3.50 each to make!

Hi friends, how have you been? The Christmas crafts are in full-swing around here! Last weekned, I paid a trip to the Dollar Tree to look for some cute add-ons/ supplies for a few of the holiday crafts that I'm working on. I was disappointed when I couldn't find any cone foam forms in their floral section. I have a bunch of stockpiled ribbon, and I had my heart set on making ribbon trees to display on the tops of my kitchen cabinets for Christmas. Though I had a plan, I certainly didn't want to shell out $5-$8 for each of the cone foam forms from the craft store, to make my ribbon trees.

After perusing the aisles, my eyes landed on a 3 piece funnel set in the cooking section. Each set comes with a small, medium, and large funnel (just $1 for each set of 3). After stacking them on top of each other, I decided that I could easily use the funnel sets, in place of a cone foam form, to make my ribbon Christmas Trees. Now that they're complete, I actually think they turned out better than they would have, had I used foam forms. The funnels are wider, which gives a much fuller look than the narrow foam forms would have. While I'm using my Dollar Tree Funnel Set Christmas Trees as a display on the tops of my kitchen cabinets, they would also make a super cute DIY holiday gift idea, this holiday season!
