Button Up a Scarecrow Decoration This Fall

By Admin1 on August 22, 2014 in Autumn / Fall, Halloween, Holidays

Check out this awesome project for the changing of the seasons! Creating crafty decorations with kids is so super fun and this is a great one for just that! This is especially awesome because it can be done in 15 minutes and left to dry which makes it perfect for a school or party activity.

You will need popsicle sticks, glue, yarn, felt, buttons and google eyes (or whatever fun crafty things you have around the house).

Glue your sticks together to create a scarecrow head and let them dry.

Then add your decorations with glue and let dry before you use it as a decoration.

That’s all! HAPPY Fall Y’all!

By Admin on May 22, 2014 in Kids Crafts

Girls love to make things for their dolls. Some of these girls are little as in young. Some of these girls are bigger as in not so young. The magic of doll play never grows old. There are lots of things that can be made for doll using Laura Kelly’s collection of bright colored buttons.

If you are interested in making any of these projects, I encourage you to give them a try.

DIY Craft a Rainbow

By Admin on March 14, 2014 in Kids Crafts

This is a really fun activity for kids, for kids of all ages that is. You can use this project as a guideline to create using a variety of bright materials but I, of course, love BUTTONS! You can find all of the colors of the rainbow in buttons in my Laura Kelly collection for Buttons Galore!

To create a rainbow of colorful fun, use a piece of waxed paper and create the arcs with Aleene’s Tacky Glue.

Then add objects in the colors of the rainbow to create the beauty. Buttons works GREAT but so do other embellishments and random things from around the house.

Ta Da! Once it is totally dry, cut it out and hang it up. It works great on a glass window or door.

Happy Being Bright and Cheerful,

Teacher Appreciation Gifts – Make Upcycled Button Rulers

By Admin on March 15, 2013 in Back to School, Holidays, Kids Crafts

Teacher Appreciation Gifts are pondered often in this house. You want something they can use and need. Being a former teacher I know it is not another apple themed gift. Well, this quick, bright and happy project really measures up! Just in time for Teacher Appreciation Week. With the loop on the end it is easy to hand and even easier to find. The bright buttons really make a difference.

Materials Teacher Appreciation Gifts :

You will need a wooden ruler (or a yardstick), Laura Kelly colored buttons, a 6 inch piece of ribbon and HOT GLUE (My fave is Ad tech)!

How to make Teacher Appreciation Gifts:

While your hot glue gun is warming up, lay out your buttons in the pattern that you want to use in the length of the ruler. You can stack them a bit if you like the depth.

One at a time, glue, the buttons to the ruler, straight down the middle so the numbers can still be read.

Once your button are securely adhered, create a loop with the ribbon and glue it to the back to create a way to hang it up. If you want to cover the ribbon with more buttons, go for it. I did. :)
