Diy shirt scarf kids version

My daughter and son both outgrew a few tees so my lil crafty self saw on Pinterest the adult version and thought why not for her too? So here's my three samples that I created for her and she simply loves em. Remember to pull and stretch and to add a bit of accent to it to make it pop.

That's my favorite one these are the other two I experimented with 

DIY baby onesies iron on

On a shopping trip to michaels craft store I just so happened to have stumbled upon these iron on letters in the clearance section. I snagged the only two that were left (I felt lucky) and was on a mission to personalize some plain white onesies I have for my new lil addition. I was stuck for awhile as to what to say on them but the ending results came to be adorable. Her dad suggested one and the other one is inspired on my family situation. Enjoy and I hope this inspires other mommies to customize they plain white onesies. Xo. 

 

Felt and Cloth baby booties DIY

In my new found quest to be frugal I have discovered that sometimes baby shoes are pricey! So trying to pinch pennies for my new little one I searched for a economical way to dress up her little footsies in an affordable way and in a way that I can add my own touch to it. I don't have a sewing machine so by hand is what I do best with some hem tape to boot. I use the hem tape to add the straps to the booties and velcro to secure that it stays on baby girls feet. Here are the four I have made thus far and I cant wait to make more for her every expanding wardrobe that is now booming all over my room... :)

hope i can inspire other mommies to be frugal also i can make em for sale just contact me

Play apron & felt cookies oh my!

For my daughter who's a huge pretend play chef and restaurant owner (i kid you not she makes her brothers be servers) I decided to make her play time more fun. Her birthday was in Jan. and I had made her felt tea bags for her tea set I had got her as a birthday present! She was touched by the creativity and has a lil box she puts em in for safe keeping and plays tea party constantly. So I wanted to add to her home made collection of toys that shes not starting to collect (me and her father made her a kitchen out of cardboard! simply amazing to upcycle things you think wouldnt have a purpose anymore!) I took an old shirt that was way too small for me and wouldnt fit me ever again so I cut it in half and since I hate to sew, I pulled out my glue gun (my BFF) and glued ribbon on the sides and on the top so she can tie it and she loves hearts so I glued hears at the bottom for a lil touch of girliness! Now she puts it on all the time and simply is too cute for words. After the apron I went searching for a template to make her felt cookies. I didn't save the template so my apologies are in order. Simply google it or go onto PINTEREST trust you will find tons of felt ideas and what have yous. She choose the color of the frosting she wanted on her "sugar cookie" and even decided on making a chocolate chip one. So we sat together and she helped stick the stuffing in and her face was priceless as she played with her tea, cookies and her kitchen set. Kids will be content with anything as long as they see that its new and fun and the plus said to this frugal mom is that all it costs is your time. And I will spend my time making tons more things for her just to see her happy and expand her creativity in pretend play. xoxo, Vanessa
