Low Budget Crafts:

Below is a list of low budget crafts perfect for the different seasons!!

ANYTIME

PAPER DOLLS

The Fantastic Find has put together a great list of free printable paper dolls. If you have little girls in your life, you’ll definitely want to check these out! Go HERE

COLOR CARDS

FREE Printable Fisher Price Cards for Kids to color and give away. Many different occasions to chose from! Go HERE

FALL

TWIG WREATH

Materials: thin twigs, 8" to 10" long; thick cardboard; ribbon; small pinecones and fake berries; tacky glue.

1. Cut a wreath shape out of the cardboard using a pen knife or pair of scissors.
2. Tie a length of ribbon in a loop at the top of the cardboard hoop for hanging.
3. Apply a generous amount of glue to a 2 inch wide section of the cardboard wreath and affix the twigs, one at a time, in a radiating pattern. Continue until the cardboard hoop is completely covered.
4. Apply glue to the pinecones and bunches of berries and affix to the wreath in a pattern of your choice.
5. Allow to dry thoroughly.

PRETTY PINECONE BOX

Materials: cardboard square; pinecones; tacky glue; air dry clay; brown paint.

1. Form four long shapes out of clay, each the length of a side of the cardboard square. Brush clay logs with glue and secure around the perimeter.
2. Dab glue onto the end of each pinecone and press into the clay to form walls.
3. Allow the clay and glue to dry thoroughly.
4. Paint the clay brown and decorate as desired. Ex: fill the inside with dried moss from the craft store

LEAF PRINT SATCHET

Materials: 1 rectangle of fabric, 14 inch x 36 inch; yarn and big-eye needle; grommets and grommet setter (optional); ribbon or decorative roping; buttons; fabric glue and paint; leaves

1. Fold the fabric rectangle in half the long way and stitch up the two opposing sides with the needle and yarn.
2. Cut four holes in the rim of the bag, two on each side so they match up, about an inch below the edge. If you like, you can use grommets and a grommet setter to fortify holes. Cut two lengths of ribbon or decorative roping and tie through each set of holes as the handles.
3. Decorate by sewing or gluing on buttons or ribbon and coating leaves in paint and then pressing them into the bags in designs of your choice. Allow to dry.

This would make a great trick or treat bag!!

PAPER- MACHE PUMKIN POTS

Materials: newspaper strips; white glue and water; balloons; orange and black paint; green pipe cleaners and craft foam; hole punch.

1. Make a paste by mixing three parts glue with one part water.
2. Blow-up a balloon to about 4 to 5 inches in diameter.
3. Dip the paper strips in paste and apply to the balloon, leaving the knot end (this will be top) uncovered. Cover the balloon in 4 to 5 layers of paper. Allow to dry thoroughly, at least 24 hours.
4. Paint paper orange and allow to dry. Pop the balloon and remove.
5. Punch holes along the rim of the pumpkin and secure a pipe cleaner through two holes as the handle.
6. Cut a leaf out of craft foam, punch a hole in one side and attach it the pumpkin with pipe cleaner.

Repeat with other balloons if you want more than 1!
