It’s almost springtime, a time of renewal and creativity! As the weather begins to warm and brighten, you may find yourself looking for ways to entertain your kids. Why not get creative with some family-friendly crafts that are perfect for this new season? Whether it’s creating festive decorations for your home or customizing accessories for your spring wardrobe, there are plenty of sweet and simple projects to explore right here in this blog post. Let’s have some fun crafting together as a family!
Bedazzled Sunglasses
With spring comes sunny weather, and with sunny weather comes a need for sunglasses. Make your pair stand out with this fun and creative craft project! Sunglasses are a popular item to adorn with rhinestones because the rhinestones transform plain, plastic frames into something fresh, fun, and dazzling.
To bedazzle your own shades, you need a pair of sunglasses, some craft glue, and an array of rhinestones in spring hues, such as sky blue, sunshine yellow, and pastel pink. Let your imagination be your guide as you decorate the frames with whatever pattern or design takes your fancy. You can even add embellishments like feathers, beads, and bows for extra pizzazz.
Pipe Cleaner Flowers
Pipe cleaner flowers are the perfect spring craft project for moms and their kids! They’re easy to make, require minimal supplies, and look vibrant and beautiful once complete. To start, you’ll need pipe cleaners in a variety of colors (think pinks, purples, yellows—whatever your heart desires!) as well as scissors to cut the pipe cleaners.
Next, create the stems and petals of the flower. The stem should be one long pipe cleaner twisted in a spiral shape. You can then attach additional pipe cleaners for petals. Simply twist them around the stem, making sure to space them evenly apart.
Once you’re finished with this step, you can add even more details, such as buttons for the center, leaves, or a stem topper. The possibilities are endless! When you’re finished with your pipe cleaner flowers, you can prop them up in a vase or pot and admire their beauty.
Painted Pots
Painting flowerpots is one of the sweetest and simplest craft projects you can do with your kids this spring. Gather some terracotta pots (you can find them at any garden center or store), a selection of colorful paints, and maybe even some glitter for extra sparkle. Then, let your kids’ creativity take over!
Let them paint whatever design or pattern they like onto their pot. This could be anything from a rainbow to a beautiful landscape. Once the paint is completely dry, you can add some of your favorite flowers and plants to bring a splash of color to your home or garden.
Creating fun and festive crafts with your kids is a great way to make lasting memories this spring season. So why not get inspired by these sweet and simple craft projects? Gather up your supplies and get crafting together! Let your imaginations soar, and have some fun.
