On of the new TV show favorite over the summer in our house was CRAFT WARS! on TLC. I don't know if the show is coming back (PLEASE PLEASE TLC!!!!) But "hosting" mini craft wars on a rainy /snowy/or "WHAT CAN WE DO DAY??!!" is become a event at our house.
I gathered all my crafting "junk"-leftovers from craft projects - and I challenged my daughter and niece to a craft war. They had to design a keep sake box for them selves. Now here's a lil pictorial on how it went.
First I dumped THE JUNK-
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO.... |
A ready and willing carpenter =) |
The girls got right to work
THE FINISHED BOXES
A busy day and the girls have a nice box to hold memorabilia in.
But most of all ITS LOADS OF FUN!!!!
Challenge your friends, or your kids and see what goodies you can come up with. These Memorabilia Boxes are a good start but there are limitless possibilities.
Spring themes:
Butterflies, Bunnies, Easter Baskets, and Flowers.
Summer themes:
Bumble Bees, Rainbows, Beach fun, and Cook out.
Fall themes:
Leaves, Apples, Acorn, and Back to School.
Winter theme:
Snowman, Snowflakes, Gift Wrap, and Christmas.
Very cute. I haven't seen craft Wars yet! I bet the girls loved their own version.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! We haven't had much rain this summer, so I will have to keep this in mind!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Craft Wars yet but I bet it would be something I enjoy. I hope my kids get the crafty gene from their father because I certainly don't have it!
ReplyDeleteoh, that is such a fantastic idea!! i need to watch that show! i was so excited when i heard it was coming on but i keep missing it so far : (
ReplyDeleteAwesome Idea!!
ReplyDeleteSo stinking cute! Love that you did this at home like that! I wanna play!
ReplyDeleteAny time I'm sure we'd have a BLAST!!
DeleteThat's a great idea. I love it when my kids get all creative with arts and crafts. Unfortunately they usually prefer their WII of Nintendo...
ReplyDeleteThe finished boxes came out great.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun time was had by all! I've never heard of Craft wars, but I'm going to be checking for it. :-)
