Looking to use up your stash of tissue paper, or just want to make a cute decorative bowl for a keepsake? these tissue paper balloon bowls are just the craft for you. These tissue paper balloon bowls were the first project that I didn’t really want to do but The Kid did. Like, a lot. Since we already had the balloons on hand from our DIY Stress Ball adventure, I figured why the heck not. Our original idea was to use buttons because that looked the cutest in pictures and would put our button stash to good use. Turns out,…

Looking to make your own bath bombs at home? Fan-fizzing-tastic. They are super fun and easy to make and just might become your newest obsession. Bath bombs, y’all. They are the bomb dot com. I’m not sure I would have classified this as a kids craft when I first came across the recipe a year or so ago. Or, at least not a craft suitable for a 4 year old. I think I got overwhelmed with the instructions or just made them out to be harder than they actually are. So it wasn’t until The Kid and her daddy got…

Homemade play dough is the best play dough there is. It lasts longer and is way more cost effective than the little brand named pots you get at the store. PLUS, the color possibilities are endless. Homemade play dough is, hands-down, one of our very favorite things to make. We discovered the recipe two years ago when I got frustrated with how expensive Play-Doh is and how fast it dries out (for us, at least). I wasn’t willing to keep shelling out $$ for a product that went to waste so quickly and knew there had to be another option.…

These popsicle stick superheroes are the perfect way to use up a stash of popsicle sticks and/or scraps of paper that always seem to be sitting around. Bonus points for being low-effort and fun at the same time. We have a major stash of popsicle sticks in the house. We originally bought them for a popsicle stick fox craft that we came across a few years ago. After that project, the popsicle sticks have been sitting around collecting glitter or being turned into magic wands. Which, frankly, no one has been complaining about. Wait, I take that back. The Husband…

Let me preface this post by saying that this activated charcoal face mask is most definitely a project that requires adult supervision, old clothing that you do not care about ruining, and copious amounts of cleaning product and paper towels. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. One of the first DIY projects that The Kid and I did together way back when was sugar scrubs. They are easy to make and require ingredients that we always have on hand. It also helps that The Kid loves taking showers and being fancy, both of which she was able to do with the sugar…

Squish the stress away with these DIY stress balls. With three different filler options to choose from, you’ll be having a ball making these. I was cleaning out a cabinet last week and rediscovered our stash of Orbeez-like balls* (little polymer beads that grow to more than 100x their volume when placed in water). The minute Anna found out they were still in the house, she begged me to make a batch so she could play with them. I was about to say no because OMGTHEYGETEVERYWHERE until I remembered that we had a craft that needed them. So I obliged,…

Crayon lip gloss is a 2-ingredient lip gloss made with crayons. That’s right, CRAYONS. As in the kind that you used to color with as a kid. It also happens to be on of our favorite things to make. So do yourself a favor and order a large stash of cosmetic pots so you can make all. the. colors. From the minute I discovered Crayon Lipstick over on Pinterest, I knew this was going to be our first craft project for The 100 Day Project. The Kid is obsessed with lipstick — and make-up in general — so I had…
