Sometimes, Summer isn't always the best of times. It gets hot, and you don't feel like doing much. Well, maybe it's just a matter of finding the perfect to spend your time! Who doesn't love crafts? I recently went shopping and picked up a few things that help me have a fun summer.
1. Modeling Clay- Technically, it's nothing fancy, just clay! It's fun to try and shape things into differant animals and stuff. However, usually my creations look more like round blobs!!! But it's fun to try!
2. Sewing Basket- Not really much, some needles, thread, scissors and fabric. I have had a lot of fun sprucing up an old pair of shoes by sewing on sequins. So now, instead of being my Mom's old shoes that don't fit her anymore, their my new shoes! Completely changed and personalized just for me! Sewing is one my favorite ways to spend my time!
3. Visors/Hats- Here's a great summer craft! Buy a new solid colored hat or visor, or use an old one of your own and make a personalized summer visor. You can buy foam stickers such as flowers, palm trees or seashells and stick or hot glue them on for a longer lasting stick! You can also buy puff paint and write fun words with the paint or you can draw decals of your own!
4. Aprons/ T-Shirts- One of my favorites! You can buy iron-on decals at the store or make your own if you have a computer and printer! Just go to a craft storeand buy iron-on transfer paper. You can print out pictures from your computer and by following the instructions can easily personalize your own shirt. You can also personalize an apron! For instance, if somebody's birthday is coming uo and they like to cook you can personalize an apron for them with decals that match your personality and maybe even use some puff paint or fabric paint to write their name on them!
5. Home made popsicles- I learned this trick a long time a go. You buy differant flavors of fruit juice for a multi flavored popsicle or just use one! Pour a little bit into cupcake pans and stick in a stick. Hold in place by spreading some tin foil over the top of each "Popsicle" then let it freeze. Keep adding layer by layer then pull them out once completely frozen. Enjoy! *NOTE: You may need to let them thaw a little bit before taking them out of the pan*
I hope you enjoyed these fun activities for summer!
