Passing on the Craft

I love that my daughter shares my love for crafting.

She has always been a creative girl and I'm glad that she is wanting to learn how to crochet.

Of course she was also inspired when she saw that Becky's boy Eli was also crocheting friendship bracelets and was eager to start right away!

Kira has been a fast learner and took off with her chain stitches!

She made a bunch of friendship bracelets for her Girl Scout buds and for her pen pal Eli

Her first "project" was an armwarmer for her puppy!!!

Now she is trying her hand at sewing!!!!!

The world of crafting is wide open for her and I hope to encourage her in this area.

The world will be much happier with more crafty kids!

What kind of crafts are you teaching your kids??

And thank you Target for inexpensive and cute plastic ornaments to make this project happen!!

Here is the blog post that I used for some assistance.  It has other blogs linked to it as well for more help! I didn't take any pictures of the process because my daughter and I were just having too much fun! We used hot glue to make sure those sneaky tops didn't detach from the plastic balls.  Also my wire hanger had a plastic coating on it and I had to strip some of it off for to allow the balls to slip on easier.

And here is our finished product

I just need to get some ribbon to hide the hanger and it will be finished!
