Back to school

With school around the corner I have 2 worksheets to share.  Parent or teacher.  Homeschool, child care centers, or class rooms.

Everyone loves to watch young learners as their drawings change from colored blobs to little people with more details.  Ears, belly buttons, hands... all things I love seeing as my little artists develop more fine motor skill.  I created this page to track that development.  I give it at the beginning of the year and then at the end of each term.  The page is free to download.

I also made an art study page for students.  It lets students enjoy the art and artist while learning facts about the artist and developing a love for the art work.  You can find that page here.

Enjoy!

Dance Bag

Libi had been sharing a dance bag with her Sister, but we decided it was time she had her own.  So, I collected an old faded sheet and some fabric scraps and put together this little bag for her.





Old sheets have become my new favorite fabric.  I can find old faded ones at the thrift shop for super cheap!

I used this tutorial from Crazy Little Projects to make my bag.

Little Girl Play Shorts

These were my sons jeans.  They were VERY played in.  Holes in the knees, stained around the ankles.... you get the picture.  I soaked them all day in bleach and then did a light wash.  Then another wash with pink dye.  Chopped them off above the knee and added bias to the bottom.  And tada... I upcycled some old jeans bound for the trash into some cute shorts for girl #3 to wear.

Re-make of adult t-shirt in pictures.


Quick and easy T-shirt re-use/recycle/up-cycle!  Mostly pictures!




Adult T-shirt... make the cuts and sew under arms and sides.  Trim the under arm part off of the original shirt and pin it to the new top.  Top should be right side and bottom should be wrong side.  put the top into the bottom to pin.


 Get out your freezer paper.  Trace a stencil or make one.
  


Iron your freezer paper onto your shirt.


Get your bleach pen ... you don't need a lot.


I let it sit for about 2-5 min then peel off the paper and throw the shirt in the wash on the rinse cycle.Then dry and ta-da!
