Natural Craft

This is such a fun and simple craft for grown ups and kids alike. You simply scour the yard or gather while you take a stroll. What is it we're scouring and gathering? Colorful plants and flowers!

There is some trial and error and some plants and flowers don't translate onto paper as you may hope. 

Tools:

Hammer

Paper

Plants or Flowers

Napkin or scrap paper

To do: Place your good paper on a flat surface that can be hammered on. Place your plants and flowers face down and as flat as you can make them. Place a napkin or scrap paper over your plants. Gently hammer all over the scrap paper or napkin, especially where the plants are. Lift your paper/napkin gently to see if the colors are transferring. Once completed you may peel off the plants and if it's a good day you'll have something like this: 

Feet Greet!

I firstly have to give all of the credit to my dear, dear friend, Mijung, from where we used to live. I was on facebook doing some work and my newsfeed showed this awesome DIY card she made with her boys for their daddy and grandpa. Genius! I love projects that serve as wonderful keepsakes.

SUPPLIES:

Paper, Paintbrush, Paint, Feet and damp cloth nearby for cleaning

Caution : You must be able to withstand intense tickling!

After painting her foot we made a footprint and quickly wiped the paint off of her foot with a damp cloth and went onto another color.

Last but not least, I had Addison draw on her wheels and the roof to the tractors. Since my father in law grew up on his dad's farm, this was a perfect tractor card for them both and my dad just bought his own sportscar so it worked for him, as well. Ours weren't as fancy as Mijung's but filled with just as much love, hehehe!
