Easter

I made goodie bags for the kids with no sugar this time! Just fun play, colour coded by each kids favourite colour!

Soft colours, warm home

It's beginning to look a lot like Easter around here..... And I love it.

artistic handmade birthday numbers!

To start you will need:

-watercolours

-watercolour paper

-pencil and eraser

-paint brush

-water container

-paper towel

-scissors

-scewers

-hot glue gun 

Basically everything is extremely simple....
1.Water colour your paper with whatever colours you choose and feel free to make it MESSY! I painted on both sides of the paper, so it would look good from behind (not that way) as well. Let dry.

2. Write out your numbers onto the DRY paper and then cut them out!

3. Heat up your hot glue gun and glue the scewers to the numbers. Be sure to place the scewers high enough, so that the numbers won't just collapse. Like so:

4. VOILA! Beautiful handmade artistic birthday numbers!

And you can use the leftover watercolour paper for gift tags! BONUS!
