Making Gift Bows from Recycled Paper

How funky is this handmade gift bow made from some recycled paper??? I love the thrifty "make do with what you have" aspect. The tutorial from the very creative Jessica at How About Orange is easy to follow, too!!

Make your own chalk shapes

I saw this great tutorial over at alphamom for making colored chalk shapes. In this case they were stars for Fourth of July but i am pretty sure that you could make them any shape depending on the moulds you had on hand.

I will be filing this idea away for when Blondie is old enough for this type of activity.

Cheers,
