This is so pretty and you could make it with an LED Light to make it safe for kids. Of course the parents could do the knife work, and the kids could help do the rest.
The box of donuts is really a pill box….Emma’s holding her favorite, a cheerio dipped in chocolate, then sprinkles. The others are cheerios dipped in confectioners’ sugar and cheerios rolled in cinnamon sugar.
How to make the mini cakes:
The mini cakes are really oreos with a layer of frosting between them, then more frosting on tops and sides…plus decorations.
The cakes should “rest” before anyone tries cutting a slice so the oreos have a chance to soften and become, yes, cake-like. Emma used a small pastry tip to make florettes and tubes of colored gels for the lettering.
These necklaces are so pretty and giftable. This is a great project with help with a drill from an adult. There is a video at the site if you are a visual learner.
I always like to see finished finger knitted projects for kids. It means they aren’t just finger knitting endless ropes, but are making crafts for themselves or DIY Gifts for others.
To Make these DIY Optical Illusion Wooden Gems, you only need three colors of paint for each color of gem - white and black being two of them. Really good tutorial for mixing your shades of paint plus these wood rectangles are so cheap at at any craft store.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Use a fork to mix together peanut butter and egg.
Gently fold in marshmallow cream so that you can still see streaks of marshmallow.

Who What Wear calls it “crafty jewelry” or jewelry you’d make at camp. I’ve posted some of their retail picks at the very bottom. Here’s what they say about this trend here:
Consisting of mismatched colorful beads, charms, flowers, letters, and more, this jewelry trend can be defined as many things, but my favorite descriptor is nostalgic.
Honestly WTF posted this Tissue Paper Dyeing Fabric DIY a few days ago, and I haven’t been this excited to try a new dyeing technique in months.
Some Things to Know:
You have to use spectra tissue paper because it will bleed onto your fabric.
Honestly WTF experiments with silk and synthetic fabrics. Natural fabrics work better, and I’d like to experiment using old 100% cotton to see what happens.
All you need is fabric, spectra tissue paper (cheap on Amazon), white vinegar to set the dye, and a spray bottle.
You could also try dyeing silk and making it into wall art - I think that would look beautiful.
If you read Honestly WTF’s post, you will see how easy it is to tissue paper dye fabric. I wonder if you could tissue paper dye water color paper and make cards or miniature art works.
I love friendship bracelets, but haven’t seen many being posted in a long time. I especially love the Pura Vida Inspired Multi Strand Friendship Bracelets.
