Today's post is a bit of a round up of some of my favourite Unicorn crafts!I *may* have a thing about unicorns. I also may have a thing (that I only noticed when I was putting this post together) where I have to include the words 'Super Cute' in the title of pretty much every post about unicorns.To be honest, it's not really unicorns that I have a thing about, it's more the fact that you can go a bit mad with the pretty colours when you're making unicorn crafts and DIYs. I have a plan for a few more, including a unicorn sugar scrub and a unicorn smoothie but … [Read more...]
Mess Free Easter Egg Decorating Ideas Using Plastic Eggs….
If you’re wanting a fun and creative way to decorate Easter eggs without the hassle and mess of dying them, then you really should consider these ideas because trust me, plastic eggs are the way forward. ;-)I spent years decorating eggs with the kids for them to take into school for the obligatory annual egg decorating competitions and despite my best efforts, we never once won a prize. Not even an honourable mention. ;-)This was our best effort - just look at the detail in that wedding dress...Luckily, my days of decorating Easter Eggs have passed and I don't have to … [Read more...]
How to colour eggs naturally….
We're getting to that time of year again where the schools are challenging children to decorate eggs creatively so today, I thought I'd share some ideas on how you can colour eggs naturally.I've seen a few egg colouring kits appearing in the shops over the last few weeks and although I haven't bought one, it looks like they're just tablets of colour that you add to the water when you're boiling your eggs. That got me thinking that there must be some natural colourants that you can use instead - just like when we had a go at dying fabrics with food a while ago.I've done lots … [Read more...]
Helping your kids to create a memory scrapbook….
I started this blog to record our family memories and I'm a huge fan of sharing our favourite family moments on Instagram so it's probably not really a surprise that both of my children have a memory scrapbook that I started for them when they were babies. They love looking back at their scrapbooks and as soon as they were old enough, they took over adding in their own memories and now Miss Frugal even has her own travel scrapbook too.Scrapbooking is such a fun and creative way to help us remember the past! The book itself doesn’t have to be just photographs, as ticket … [Read more...]
36 Simple homemade ornaments for kids….
We've seriously downgraded our Christmas decorations this year thanks to the fact that we have a new addition to our family, Monty who's a 10-week old Bichon Frise, Shih Tzu cross puppy. He's into everything so we thought a smaller tree would be good this year as our usual one is floor to ceiling and quite bushy.I didn't want to buy an artificial tree so we went with a real one that was small enough that we could stand on a table in the living room out of Monty's reach. It's cute but a little wonky and because it's smaller than usual, we decided to really cut back on the tree … [Read more...]
Christmas melted colourful crayons….
I first blogged about melted crayon cakes way back in 2011 but last weekend, I made a Christmassy version of them that I thought you might like to see today....When I first made my colourful crayons, it was way back in 2011 and the kids were still fans of colouring and drawing so the idea was to melt together all of the random stubby bits of crayon that were at the bottom of their drawing boxes.This time around, I made them as something to do when I was looking after my favourite four-year-old so I actually bought the crayons rather than using up scrappy bits - not as frugal I know … [Read more...]
