Cardboard Necklaces

June 24, 2016 By Lynn 2 Comments

Sometimes kid crafts can really start to add up money wise -only to be tossed or lost a few hours later! This is a fun craft your kids can spend hours on for ZERO dollas!

Today I made cardboard necklaces with my eight year old and her cousin. They thought these were rad! They got to cut out different shapes and use whatever color paints their little hearts desired. Kids might need help cutting the cardboard with scissors, but this was great craft for them to sit and use their creativity on.

Simply draw out or trace some fun shapes, cut them out with scissors or an exact knife, then paint! I used a wooded skewer to pole holes in the cardboard for string.

Hallway Bookrack – Small Space Solutions

When were moved into our home the basement was not finished, but it was partially framed. One of those framed walls was a little funky. It did not line up with the other “walls” it would meet up with. I wasn’t sure how to make it work with the room behind it. At the same […]
