DIY Toddler Work of Art!

My favorite pin/project so far!  Super easy to do, very rewarding, a little messy, SUPER fun for the tots!

What you will need:

16x20 canvas
Masking tape, Sticky letters or Cricut (is what I used)
Finger paints (home made recipe found here)
Toddler fingers

I made a few of these so far as gifts. One for baby Gabby and baby Jackson (both just turned 1)
Brooklyn and I put it to the test and I'm truly loving the outcome.
Here are a few pics as we went along:

 

 

When it dried:

I think what I'm going to do before I hang it up is line the outside of her name in a dark think marker so that the name pops a little better.  I will post as soon as it's done =)

Here it is!!!!!

Great Summer Fun Toddler Project!!!  Enjoy!!!!!!

Today was sweet Gabby's 1 year old birthday party and well....every sweet girl needs a little something to look like the princess that she is. <3

 

The dresses are made-to-order in Caute Crafty's Etsy Shop.

 

Wearable Pics!

My new obsession is to try and find ways to wear all the ca-ute piccies I have of my daughter!  She's quite the character so wearing all her different looks well...I'm just a proud mama =)

This project was super easy all you need is:

- Ca-ute pics
- 7/8" square punch
- Darice Frame Charm Square Silver (2 in pack)

I must admit....wearing two pics right now around my neck I sorta sound like a walking windchime.  Maybe I will find a longer chain or wear one at a time. Until I find a better solution that is!!!  =)

PS.  Makes a super ca-ute gift!!

Upcycled Photo Watch

I saw this idea on pinterest and decided to have a go at this.  I found a broken watch at a flea market for $1.00.  Yes, $1.00.

I went to town and took the watch apart carefully.  Here's what I found...don't even bother with Timex...at least the older ones.  They're built inexpensively BUT like Fort Knox...I don't get it.  BUT that was a waste of time...no pun intended.  My next watch I also found for $1.00 is a Gucci watch...super duper ca-ute. I heart this watch sooooo much!!!  Happy Mothers Day to me!

***I just made another photo watch for my mother for Mothers Day.  I did purchase a new watch from Charming Charlie...a new watch for $15.00 but her reaction to the photo watch of her granddaughter...priceless!!! ***
