I had this week with my son's preschool...so we made some mom inspired crafts to give to the kids moms...
I just made these mom cards
they can stand up...or fold up small
then I found a bunch of foam stickers from valentines day....so we decorated them up.
I made a mom stencil for you.....but am having troubles putting it in a downloaded place...so you will just have to deal with this.....
to go with our mom cards:
and you might remember this fingerprint from sculpey thing:
the kids rolled out their sculpey...cut out the hearts...pressed their finger in and added a hole.
i baked it while they were at "recess"
and then added a keychain
then I put the card and keychain in a decorated "lunch bag" (that's what the kids kept calling it)
now what mom wouldn't love that...
you know...they don't stay this small forever. (sniffle)
and if you are really up a creek this mothers day.....you can whip up a levi apron
If I received that keychain from my son, I'd probably cry. That is awesome! :')
ReplyDeleteCute ideas!
ReplyDeleteI'm giving away a pair of earrings on my blog. Head on over and enter if you'd like. :)

The keychains are priceless.
ReplyDeleteAww those keychains and your comments about them not staying small forever reminded me about the hot pad I have with my baby's hand print on it. He made it in preschool for mother's day. You know the baby that is now 22 and would rather go to the beach between semesters than to come see his mother who moved 5 hours away 4 months ago. Tell me again why I still have that hot pad - LOL
ReplyDeleteIn all fairness, he did call last night and say there has been a change of plans and he is coming to see me after all. Guess I'll keep him and the hotpad.
So I just have to tell you how much I love your blog. I have been a closet follower for a long time and have finally made it public! :) Ha ha! Anyway, thanks for sharing all your amazing ideas. I think that you have a great sense of humor that comes through in every post . . . if we were neighbors, I think that we would be friends! :)

Such a creative blog... I love reading every one! The KEYCHAINS are SO adorable... I have time to make some today.... love it all! Dang, you inspire me! = )
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteHello! I love the key chain! I have never used polymer clay before, but would really like to make this piece.
ReplyDeleteOne question: how does the keyring get onto the heart? Just a good prying? I really appreciate your guidance (or anyone else who is reading... )
Thanks!
Erin
basically...YES! a good prying! don't put the hole to far from the edge not make the clay too think (1/3 of inch i think are we these are) and it's not to hard to get it on!
ReplyDeleteThe best gifts for kids and parents, fingerprint jewellery is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this idea! I've been making wanderings with the plaster of Paris for years and making playdough then handprints can be exhausting and I needed a change. something adorable like this. I'm going to put the hearts on a necklace. I can't wait to see how they turn out!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteDo you need to do anything special to get the keyring on the plaster?
ReplyDeleteWhat temperature did you bake them at and how long?
