Easy #DIY Crafts Projects To Do With Kids & Teens This Summer!
It’s hard to believe how quickly summer is going by. But, despite our summer activity planning there are still times I need to fill in activities for Sammie and some of our families kids. What about you? Today I thought I would share a few of my favorite things I have come across and how we are planning to make some easy DIYcrafts projects. I’ll also share where you can find some great online classes to help you keep your kids busy having fun creating diy projects with you.
These are just a few projects that we have in the works. I can’t wait to share what we make over the last week’s of summer. As we check them off we are grabbing more DIY craft projects. Some of these crafts are easy enough for Sammie to do by herself as she is 12 now and some we’ll have to do together. We found some super fun classes like making a Summer Teepee, Doorway Puppet Theater, Felt Nature Pals, Random Ruffle Tee Shirts and more!
We love our converse shoes and this diy project caught our eye. Liesl shows you how to make a quick frayed version as well as a more finished sewn version. Both pack extra pzazz with pops of bright artist’s tape and nail polish. She even shows you how to create ribbons for your packaging. Hello summer parties! Wrap them up with this DIY.
What is summer without flowers in your hair? Not summer in my book. I love this felt flower headband DIY project from Annabel Wrigley. There is a 27 minute class and PDF flower template that shares just how easy this class is geared toward kids 7 years and up. This class includes using felt, hand stitching and beads if you like. Not only can you make a headband but, you can go onto make you can create a bracelet, garlands for decorate the edge of a lampshade.
These classes are $9.99 non member price or start with a Free Trial ( 14 day free trial). The classes I am sharing today are being offered over at Creative Bug! I love my subscription. They have many options for purchasing e-classes that come with full instructions, pdf s, material lists and video tutorials. Purchase single classes, 3 month, 6 month and 12 month subscriptions with unlimited access to all the classes.
Another class that has caught our eye for summer is this Make a Paracord and Leather Cuff Bracelet class. Even the boys will love this one. Have your kids made rubber band bracelets or worked with paracord yet? Sammie has but, this project adds leather and does require using a sewing machine for short simple straight stitching. All of the materials needed for this project are readily available at craft stores.
Lining up activities for the kids, planning vacations, scheduling family gatherings are all things families are rushing to do. Why not make things a little easier on yourself. You can do just that by visiting Creative Bug.
