Sometimes things just hit me. Take these cardboard snakes as an example. I’m not sure why, but all of a sudden my mind said “Hey, I think a cardboard tube cut into a coil would make a really adorable snake craft!” It’s probably no surprise since I really do love turning cardboard tubes into something with character. So I hit Read More »
You’ve probably noticed a trend on this blog… I like to recycle. I use recycled materials in many of my projects, and I always have several old pairs of jeans lying around. Kids grow like weeds, and boys are especially hard on their clothes, so there’s always some worn out denim not worthy of the donation pile. I’ve seen denim Read More »
Puppets and puppet shows are a favorite among children. They love to play make believe and create little pretend worlds full of fascinating characters. So why not create a little puppet theater out of a cardboard box, decorate it and make some simple craft stick puppets to star in the show! That’s exactly what I did for my Scribble Shop Read More »
Are you and your kids dreaming of summer like I am? I’ve had about enough of winter and I am totally ready for warmer weather! I am heading to Florida for a conference in less than two weeks, and that has me thinking of all things beachy. Tropical fish live in the ocean, and their colors are vibrant and beautiful.

I love all the conversation heart crafts around for Valentine’s Day. I’ve made some other conversation heart crafts, and I’ve made treat holders for other holidays as well. So when I saw the cute pink feather boa in the craft store the other day, I was immediately struck with this idea. Well, a variation anyway. My original thought was not Read More »
Cardboard tubes are one of my favorite mediums. They are definitely readily available and I always have some in my supply stash. They are easy to transform into fun little characters, and that’s exactly what I was thinking when I came up with this little snow scene. Do you remember building snowmen with your friends? Going sledding? Having a snowball Read More »
Tomorrow is the last day of school before winter break. My 17-year old daughter wanted to make something for her friends, so we decided to make the Rice Krispy Gingerbread Men from my cooking blog and I made these cute little bread tag gingerbread men to tie the bags closed. You might remember the bread tag monsters I made last Read More »
I adore snowmen, and every year I try to make at least one new snowman ornament. This year I made these snowmen from corrugated cardboard and paint. I was inspired by a dollar store ornament that caught my eye on a blog post. I had pinned this to my “Inspiration for Knock Offs” board. The post is from Today’s Fabulous Read More »

This is a fun fall project that kids will love. It’s a great way to introduce sewing to young hands, and at the same time, create some pretty basket fillers for your Thanksgiving table. Kids will love the glitter too! A small amount of parental supervision is recommended due to the use of a hot glue gun. I used DecoArt’s Read More »
This paint stick scarecrow is one of my favorite fall crafts. I actually made it several years ago and had it up until last year. I left this poor little guy outside in the elements and Mother Nature did him in. So I’ll need to grab a paint stick and some scrap fabric to make another! Isn’t he cute?? So Read More »
