We miss the summer time.
When it comes to kid crafts in the Summertime, I love it when they involve water. Here’s a fun little craft for a hot summer day.How to Turn Cork Trivets into Color Block Clocks
2014-03-07
Weekend Craft! The spring is coming, so the colourfull flowers and trees, get inspired by this craft.
After searching the Internet for the most incredible items you can buy to color block everything from your wardrobe to your decor, we thought we’d turn our attention to showing you how to add a pop of color to your everyday items with some awesome projects that you can DIY. We couldn’t resist starting with deliciousdip-dyed sweets and an insanely cool wine rack made from coffee cans. Now we’re tackling time with these geometric color block clocks.
The coolest thing about these color block clocks is the color combos. We chose two paint colors for each clock that when mixed together make a totally new and beautiful color! It’s a basic painting concept that not only allows for a totally customizable palate, but also makes the most of your materials. We decided to try out three combinations to see what striking hues we could create.
DIY: Small cork stamps

Cork stamps everywhere! Enjoy this little craft.
"I have a story. (I always have a story.) When I was in Junior High art class we were given the project of making our own rubber stamp to stamp out our own greeting cards (hmm, come to think of it, maybe it was my calling). The nerd that I am, I was so excited to finish the project that I rushed through the end of it and cut myself REALLY badly with the craft knife. So badly that I was removed from ballet class one day because my cut opened up and I was bleeding all over the dance floor. (I'm still in therapy over it - HA!) I still have the scar to prove it.Anyway, since that day I have a bit of an aversion to craft knives. But my crafty friend Andy (who helped me out with my quilled cupcake shop) reminded me of my stamping days by telling me that I could repurpose old wine corks and use them as stamps. Oh boy... another obsession. She made me a cupcake one that I use in some of my packaging but I had to give it a go."
