Paper Flower Ornament
I was asked how I did this ornament from this post .
How to:
1. Cut one piece of 8 1/2" x 11" paper into 1" strips (oriented landscape so you end up with 11 strips).
2. Stack them and staple them once in the center, then fold the stack in half to form a little book. (If the strips are too long for your stapler to reach the center, either trim them a bit shorter or swing your stapler open and staple the stack on a magazine or cutting mat. Then bend the staple closed.)
3. Put a little piece of double-stick tape at the tip of the first "page." Then bend it inward toward the center and stick it down. Repeat for every "page" until you have a circular flower shape.
4. Hang with invisible thread. (Yeah, there is such a thing! You can buy clear thread at a fabric store.) or you can use clear fishing line.

HOMEMADE SIDEWALK CHALKS
It is SO easy to make homemade sidewalk chalk! You need 1 cup of plaster of paris, 1 cup of water, and powdered tempera paint.
Mix the ingredients together.
Pour the mixture into a mold. We used our silicone icecube molds and some chocolate molds I had laying around the house.
Make sure you choose molds that will lay flat or you will have a bit of a mess.

Let your chalk dry for at least 24 hours, pop it out of the mold, and have fun!!!

Spring Bling for Straws
As a parent, it’s a joy to make ordinary things a little more special. Adding a little bling to a straw does just that. These straw decorations are perfect for everyday or for special events.
Supplies for Straw Decorations:
- paper
- double stick tape
- scissors
- straw
- ladybug (wooden or sticker)
Directions:
1. Put two sheets of paper together, back-to-back, and cut out desired shape (heart, flower, circle, square…)
2. Use double stick tape to attach the two shapes together on either side of the straw.
3. Attach the ladybug with double stick tape.
4. Invite your friends over to sip lemonade or make your child’s sippy cup look extra happy.
