Snow Candles

February 13, 2019 by Bethany Sy

I have fond memories of making snow candles as a kid, and I've been hoarding (gathering from yard sales and thrift stores) candles to melt down to do this project with the kiddos! You can also use paraffin wax for this, and you can also tint the colors of your candles by adding broken crayons! But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Here's what you need Snow day (bored kids) and ... [ Read More ]

(I’ll share them below) When we finished the twins’ big girl room, complete with the upholstered headboard for kids in the form of a Fainting Couch Toddler Bed, our girls must have gotten used to the softness because now they’re asking for a soft/cushy upholstered ...

March 14, 2018 by Bethany Sy

I have to say, figuring out how to blow out Easter eggs with kids wasn’t something I looked forward to tackling this spring. But knowing that it would be a fun tradition and a BLAST for the kids, we decided to go for it! I learned a few tips along the way that I’ll share with you, and we even did a Facebook LIVE (video below) sharing the process so you can see how it all goes down and know what ... [ Read More ]

Valentine’s Scroll Saw Plaque

February 9, 2018 by Bethany Sy

I’ve been teaching Paisley how to use the scroll saw lately. And each time I’m giving her a lesson I draw out a handful of different shapes for her to cut out to practice keeping the blade on the line. One of her favorite shapes to cut out is a HEART, and that got me thinking it would be so fun to share a beginner scroll saw tutorial with hearts for Valentine’s Day! The kids loved watching this ...

Convertible Kids Craft Table–Free Building Plans!

January 10, 2018 by Bethany Sy

Y’all, this winter hasn’t been kind to us. We’ve had pneumonia, tonsillitis, bronchitis, laryngitis, and ear infections sweep through our home, as well as 3 separate rounds of pink eye. We can’t catch a break! Projects have been slow moving around here, but Nick and I have mustered enough energy to drag our booties out to the woodshop here and there and throw around some sawdust. Our most recent ... [ Read More ]

You won’t see me passing up an opportunity to use my scroll saw! Especially if it means making these darling wood and acrylic Animal Banks.

Kids Craft: Salt Dough Suncatcher

September 14, 2017 by Bethany Sy

It’s no secret that kids crafts are not my forte. I genuinely believe that creativity is NOT all-encompassing. For example, you might be great at painting, but terrible at sewing. Just because I’m ‘creative’ doesn’t mean that organizing a fun craft for my first graders is something that I’m good at, let alone enjoy. Don’t get me wrong, I let them paint scraps of wood, or sand a piece of old ... [ Read More ]
