YAY... Craft Day is here! Listen, my family LOVES to craft, it is something we have always done since we were little kids. So it is only natural that we would continue this tradition with a family and friends craft day. We pick a date, everyone brings a fun dessert or appetizer, I make chili, and we drink a little girly drink while crafting the day away!
Now on to the real reason we are here... the crafting!! We have learned over time that it is best to select one craft that everyone can customize. This makes it easy for everyone to sit together, use the same supplies, and get a little inspiration. This year we called on a little help from my step dad with supplies. No big deal... could you cut down a tree and slice around 100 small circles!!?? HaHa- and the best news... he did!!! A huge THANKS because craft day may not have happened without him, oh and he supplied the very yummy homemade wine!
We set the table up with all the wood circles, paint, markers, glitter, modge podge, stamps, twine, scrapbook paper, and a few printed Pinterest inspiration pictures.
Let's grab a drink and get crafting!!
We used the supplies to create all sorts of fun things from the wood circles- Christmas gift tags, ornaments, banners, coasters, and more.
We painted some of the wood circles with black paint to look like chalk, and we used white craft markers to write on them. This really created a whole new look!
On some we used Modge Podge to add a festive family picture! Great for tree ornaments and gifts for grandparents!
Once we finished creating, we used a drill to add a small hole to string yarn through.
I made one ornament for each of Emersyn's little classmates, thinking about trying to Modge Podge a picture on the back.
Side Note: Emersyn LOVED craft day!! There were lots of people at the house and a few of my cousins brought their little ones too. She loved all the company!
Thanks to all of the ladies for coming to craft day!!! SUCH FUN!! Can't wait for next year!!
