Well hallo there! I’m Amy, from Mod Podge Rocks. If you’ve never heard of Mod Podge, it’s the world’s best decoupage medium (in my humble opinion). I love the stuff, so I started a blog about it. It’s one of the easiest craft products you’ll ever use, so come visit me any time to learn [...]
Well.. the Hangouts on Google+ continue – I have really been enjoying getting together with a group of Craft Bloggers on Google+ and having a mass video conference call, discussing different craft ideas each week. And this week, we did it again: Egg Craft Ideas! And not “just” your traditional Egg Decorating Ideas - but beyond [...]
As mentioned already last week, we went to a little Hobbycraft event a couple of weeks ago and left totally inspired. Last week was all about decoupage for kids, this week is all about papier mache!! Basically, we saw some adorable little hen and bunny baskets for purchase and thought “ooh could MAKE that” and [...]
Ever since becoming a parent 5 years ago, I was really looking forward to a number of things to do with my children: playing lots, reading stories and getting crafty! Things, that too me build fabulous childhood memories, whilst also developing my children’s skills on a number of levels. As you know, Red Ted Art [...]
I received another craft book to share with you – Stitched Safari by Tomomi Maeda – containing 18 adorable felt animals for you to stitch. They would make a BEAUTIFUL play set for any child – or simply look lovely as a decoration. With Easter and Spring coming up the publisher and author have kindly [...]
Well.. as you know, I have already reported back on how the new Nivea Stress Protector did indeed “protect me” in extenuating circumstances. There was a rather too tricky cake to bake, I went crafting with 28 4 year olds and I went on my much dislike shopping trip. But what about “every day”? And an “every [...]
We had LOTS of lollipops left over from Red Ted’s Superhero party (where we made some Superhero Lollipops as prizes (see below)), so am thinking up new fun ideas to decorate them. And thought these little chicks would make a perfect little Easter Treat! So quick to make and they look really sweet (I think [...]
Well… we all know all about Kids’ Art, don’t we? Our little ones have the ability to produce sheets and sheets and sheets of it. But what to do with them all? And what to do with the REALLY special ones that come along every so often? Well. 9 Crafty Bloggers come together in a [...]
A couple of weeks ago, we went to a crafty morning arranged by Hobbycraft showcasing their latest products and Easter crafts. It is from the back of this, that I had the idea of making this decoupage Easter egg craft with Pip Squeak (3yrs). Yes, she is still quite little, but she got to have [...]
Well.. I don’t know about you… but I definitely am always need more space and better ways to organise our family life. Yep. Our stuff is everywhere.. I need a better way to store my craft stash (yes, there is tons). I need a better way to organise our day to day “paperwork” – post, [...]
Easter crafts are such a lovely craft to make – they are full of Spring colours and really help brighten the home after the long Winter days. We particularly love decorating Easter Eggs and love to share our Egg Decorating Ideas with you. For me this forms part of every Easter celebration and I hope [...]
Ever since the Imagination Tree did some gorgeous Drip Art Pumpkins, the Blogosphere has been drip art mad. And to join in with the drip art fun, we thought we would have a go at drip art rainbow egg decorations. The kids loved it! And the process was magical – and like watching a rainbow grow! [...]
We do love Egg Decorating Ideas – though decorating real egg shells can be quite tricky for preschoolers small hands AND can result in the odd broken egg or two (we always have some casualties)! So we like egg crafts, that once they are finished, are a little more robust! Though these are for decorating [...]
Well… we blew out 10 eggs over the weekend as part of a big family brunch and the kids and I went egg decorating CRAZY! So, you will be seeing a number of egg decorating ideas popping up. I thought it would be fun to do some Superhero eggs – I was thinking super simple [...]
Handprint Animals: A Complete Alphabet A-Z
Well, it has been a fun 26 weeks! I cannot believe that we embarked on a Handprint Alphabet over 26 weeks ago (that is 6 months ago?! Wow). And what an alphabet journey it has been! We started off with an innocent A for Alien.. then a B for Bee.. and suddenly we were on [...]
Today we are looking at being “Creative with Flowers” – I decided to do our very first “How To Press Flowers” session with the children. Flower pressing is another on of those “childhood” classic crafts that you can have a go at – it is surprising how well some flowers do press (whilst, ahem, other don’t). So [...]
