30 Days of Flowers - Day 15 - Crafting with Legos

Legos are everywhere in our house. You will find them under and in the couch, lurking in the corner in the middle of the night when we get up to get a drink of water (ouch), in the garden?? in the pool?? everywhere. My 4 year old and even my 12 and 14 year olds...heck..even my husband...love these little blocks of joy.

So, we figured we would try to make some flowers with them to fill up one of our 30 Days of Flowers.  Here is what we came up with. I would love to see your pictures too.

Make a planter

This would actually be a fun gift for Mother's Day, Grandparent's Day. You could possibly even do a variation for Father's Day and make it into a pen/pencil holder or photo holder if you put a stake in the middle of the planter.

Today was just a fun day. We used what Lego's we had and tried to come up with as many flower variations as we could. If you really want some inspiration click the link below for some amazing Lego Flower Ideas.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope this inspired you in some small way and at the very least it allowed you to spend some time playing. Rest is good every now and then.

I would love to hear from you. Please leave your comments below.

Have a great weekend.

30 Days of Flowers - Day 2 - Zip Tie Flowers

                                   

30 Days of Flowers

Day 2:

Super Simple Saturday Craft

“Crafting with Zip Ties”

_______________________________________________________

Well, it is almost midnight here in Arizona, but I still have time for day #2. It has been a long day and I am finally home after spending that last few hours in the ER with my daughter who just returned from Summer Camp with Pneumonia. She will be okay, at least that is what matters most.

So, this is a quick simple craft that I whipped up just to fill the gap for day 2. I promise day 3 will be posted a little earlier.

Did you know zip ties are cheap and easy to craft with?

These are available at the Dollar Tree.

Make a few loops connect them with tacky or hot glue then just throw on some bottle caps, buttons, paper etc. and you have an easy flower.

 

 

These could be used as:

·         Garden or Plant stakes

·         Hung from the ceiling as a decoration

·         Connected together to make a mobile

·         Christmas ornaments

·         Paste a picture of the grand kids on the front and slap a magnet on the back.

·         Scrapbook Embellishments

·         Flip Flop Decor

Not just flowers either. These are a few other things we made with the zip ties.

 

Butterflies, Angels and Dragonflies?? : )

The process is easy and they come in assorted sizes.

                              

There you have it: Day 2.

Now to get some rest and watch over my daughter.

Easter Bunny ( A little late )

Clay Pot Easter Bunny Candy Dish

Since I am trying to catch up on all my blogging, I thought I would throw this little guy/gal in here. We had fun making this. It is pretty self-explanatory. Next time I will use a bigger dish. I love to embellish so we through on the pom pom fringe at the very last minute to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by!
