things to make

So we’ve got dinner covered.

And we’re baking with the kids.

Now let’s make things!

Any long time reader on this blog knows that I’m not much for crafting – I’m more “craft adjacent”. I don’t sew or knit, and don’t own a Cricut or laminating machine (though I covet the former).

I like easy crafts that look appealing and can be made with household or easily ordered items. And I was pleasantly surprised at how many of these I had gathered over the years!

Salt Dough – so easy and versatile, a perennial crowd pleaser.

Seed Bombs – perfect for Earth Day, and for the 10,000 walks you’re taking every day.

Bird Seed Hearts – sweet and easy.

Flubber – can we ever have enough?

Placemats – take those class valentines and make a cute keepsake!

Cupcake Cones – cause everything tastes better in a cone.

Seed Paper – kids go nuts for this one.

Craft Caddy – if everyone is spread out all over the house, this easy caddy keeps things portable and in-place.

Paper Cones – fun to fill with flowers or candies and hang outside a neighbor’s door!

Sugar Scrubs – so easy to make and can be scented with whatever you like – we’ve got rose, lavender, orange and cinnamon but the sky’s the limit!

Envelope Template – sending cards to friends and loved ones? Use any paper you have lying around to make a fun envelope to mail them in!

Crayon Vase – dress up a tin can with this charming little DIY.

Heart Egg – because even breakfast can use a boost.

DIY Soap – easy, fun and completely customizable!

Clementine Votive – one of my personal faves.

Paper Pots – another easy craft for Earth Day, and looks pretty cool too!

Paper Cupcake Liners – run out of cupcake liners? You can make your own with parchment paper!

Orange Bird Feeder – one of the easiest, yet happy-making crafts you can make!

Have fun and please let me know what you make! 🙂
