How to Make a Braided Ribbon Headband

I wanted to design a headband for my daughter.  My daughter is young and very particular on what she puts in her hair, her main concern is comfort.  So I knew that the headband had to be comfortable especially behind her ears.  I spent a lot of time designing it so that the ends of the headband with tucked into each other and there was no sharp edges.

Chalkboard with Magnets: Perfect for Dorm Rooms or Lockers

Why paint wood when you can finish it with beautiful colorful ribbon! We embellished a chalkboard with ribbon and then added handmade magnets to the top of the chalkboard.  Friends can leave messages or attach notes.  The chalkboard with magnets is perfect for lockers, dorm rooms, or hang on child’s bedroom door and parents and siblings can leave encouraging notes every day.

St. Patrick’s Day Kids Crafts

St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday filled with magical fun for children. We designed several easy crafts that would be great to make in the classroom, for classroom parties, crafts for home-schoolers, or just a fun afternoon of “craft time” with a parent.
  • Create a Leprechaun Snack Cup with cardstock and a small plastic cup. Attach cardstock around a small plastic cup and hold it in place with tape. Add a circular bottom to the plastic cup to form the Leprechaun’s Hat. Finish the hat with ribbon or marker. Children can then use the Leprechaun’s hat to hold their snack.  Optional:  Add a little clover on the side of the hat made with a green chenille stem.
