Craft Room Inspiration

Right now my craft room is a disaster.  I had this grand idea to pull everything out and organize it a couple of months ago umm yeah months.  And then life got busy and it was  never finished and just continued to get messier and messier.  So this week I'm working on my craft room so I actually have somewhere to craft.  So to waste a little more time, wait I mean find inspiration, here are some beautiful craft rooms.

Easy Frames

Idea and instructions can be found here.

Easy frame makeover

Do you remember my shelf makeover I shared last week?  Today I'm going to show you how I made the frames (Its super easy!)

You need a wooded frame (needs to be flat).  I bought these at a yard sale buy you can find them at any craft store and even Walmart for about $1.  Paint the edges and let it dry.

 Pick some cute scrapbook paper and lay it face down on your table. then lay your frame face down on your paper and trace the edges.  Cut the paper out.  I used spray adhesive to glue my paper to my frame but mod podge would work as well. 

I used a printable from here for one frame

 and pictures of my girls for the other one.

Its quick and easy and can fit in any room depending on the paper you pick.

Free Owl Printables

I know many of you decorate your daughters rooms with owls so I thought I would share the printables I made with you.  Right click and save to your computer.  They are made to print 8.5 x 11 I centered them to print perfectly as an 8x10.  Let me know if you have any questions or trouble saving them.

Choices and Consequences Sharing time or FHE idea

I thought I would share what I am doing for sharing time tomorrow in case anyone need a last minute idea or it would be really fun to use for Family Night. 

I printed out the words choices and consequences and taped each to the end of a stick (mine was actually a light saber)  Quickly explain that we have the wonderful gift of agency and are able to make our own choices.  However that doesn't mean we can do anything we want with out consequences.  Pick up the one side of the stick and show that it effects the other side.  (This is from the sharing time manual)
I'm then going to tell them how much I love ice cream shops and getting to pick my favorite flavors.  Then display my ice cream cone (just cut one from paper).  Then show my 8 scoops of ice cream. (I used the template from here).  On the back I have a different scenario of a choice some one made.  Take turns having a child come up and pick a flavor of ice cream.  Read the scenario on the back and have them tell you the consequences that would follow.  Add the ice cream scoop to the cone.  See how big you can build it!

*I'll add pictures after we use this for family night on Monday :)

Here are the scenarios I came up with:

You see a new girl at school sitting by herself.  You decide to go ask her to play.

Your mom asks you to clean your room and you quickly do it.

Your mom is cooking dinner and your little sister is crying.  You decide to read a book to her.

You are walking home from school.  You know you are supposed to go straight home but you decide to stop and swing at the park for a few minutes.

During primary you thought of a funny story and told your friend.

During a spelling test at school you couldn’t remember how to spell a word so you peeked at your neighbors test.

After you are already in bed and the lights turned off you remember you forgot to say a prayer.  You quickly jump out of bed and say a prayer.

You are playing outside and you see your dad is pulling weeds.  You ask him if you can help.

How to curl Satin Ribbon

Here's an easy way to make your satin ribbon curly.  I used ribbon from Walmart.  Turn your curling iron on to the lowest setting.  the smaller the curling iron the tighter and more curls you will get.  Clamp your curling iron to the end of the ribbon and roll up making sure your ribbon goes up the curling iron not just on top of its self.  Slowly count to 30 then release.  No need to do anything else, this will keep your ribbon curled.  (I read if you want it straighted pull out your straightener)  Who knew house hold items could be used for crafting!
