This is a hand-drawn card with some string and sticker embellishments. I've recently taken up drumming, so this is one of my favourite cards. It's pretty easy to make, just follow along!
Pistachio Shell Birds Painting
By attosa
I like to save the shells from my pistachio nuts to craft with. Here, I've turned them into birds on a tree I painted. Sometimes bare winter trees are nice in the way that you can see all the animals that perch on the branches without leaves getting in the way. This painting is dedicated to my father who loves to birdwatch and absolutely adores pistachios!

Making a Hanging Air Plant Frame
By 15mhhm15
This is a cute air-plant hanging frame your toddler/child can make. This would make a cute gift from toddler/child to give to someone special too (like grandparents, dad, mom, aunt, uncle, etc.).
By Ann Winberg
This is an old craft revisited and made much simpler now with a glue gun.

My 2 year old toddler decorated this heart card - it is the perfect craft that makes two gifts, one for grandma, one for grandpa! This could be for any occasion not just Valentine's Day, give it for Grandparents Day, Christmas, Missing You, or just because! What's special about this card is when you put both pieces together you could see how the artwork turned out!

Recycling pop or water bottles into funny faces. The creations can then be used as decor or piggy banks. Making a family of Bottheads is great fun for the kids.
Carrot Counting Activity for Toddlers
By 15mhhm15
This is a perfect craft that doubles as a learning resource and game to help your toddlers learn to count.
By Lisa Austin
I bought plain, plastic tissue holder covers at the Euro shop and decoupaged them using paper and also fabric. I think they turned out quite nicely.

By 15mhhm15
Do you need a last minute, thoughtful and useful Valentine's Day gift idea for your boyfriend, girlfriend, significant other, husband, wife, best friend, soul mate, crush? This would be a super adorable gift, inexpensive and not a gift that will only be used for Valentine's Day.
Beaded Rainbow Window Sparkler

A cheery beaded rainbow that you can hang in your window.
By attosa
This is a cute play-on-words card featuring a slice of pizza with heart-shaped pepperoni. I added some glitter to the pepperoni to look greasy! This is a fun all-ages craft.
Recycled Animal Face Pencil Case
By katrine2706
Simple materials plus a creative mind is a great combination for making this project. A plastic bottle has the most use when it comes to recycling. You can create anything useful out of plastic bottles. Here's one simple project that I taught my child which can be a good help to develop his creativity, imagination, and organizing skills.
"I Like You Elote" Multi-occasion Greeting Card
By attosa
Elote is Mexican street corn that is absolutely scrumptious! It's skewered, grilled, then topped with a creamy sauce, chili powder, cheese, and cilantro. I made a bunch of these corn cards to give to my friends who are huge Elote fanatics, and they were a hit! These are easy to make, using just paper, glitter, and cord. Give them out for Valentine's Day, Cinco de Mayo, or just because!
Flamingo Heart Card or Kids' Craft
By 15mhhm15
This is a cute flamingo heart card you can give to someone for Valentine's Day, or glue down onto a card. It would be cute if they were facing each other too. But the purpose of this craft was because we went to the zoo, the kids thought how cool a flamingo was and wanted to make one! They both had fun playing with these together and making these flamingos kiss!
I love you a WATT! Greeting Card
By 15mhhm15
This would be an extra cute card for a best friend, significant other, or someone special in your life that you love!
Valentine's Day Patchwork Treat Box
By 15mhhm15
To carry all of my toddler's Valentine's Day gifts for his classmates (rocketship gift and Valentine's Day tattoo box) we used a tissue box and salvaged part of the Valentine's Day tattoo box.
This short video gives you quick lesson in making a bowl from a vinyl record. It's quick, easy and fun.
By Ann Winberg
A quick gift for that special teacher, aunt, or grandmother. You will need to make three fabric flowers; each uses two pieces of fabric and one piece of wire.
By Rachel's Mom
This topiary makes a nice wedding or housewarming gift without spending a fortune. It's a great way to use those decorative containers that are taking up cabinet space too. I used a sugar bowl that was missing it's lid.
By melody yesterday
Collect various branches or smaller limbs and spray paint them black or your choice of colors and secure upright in a flower pot suited to its size in cement.
By Sandi/Poor But Proud
I love making people little things and then giving them gift baskets. One of the things I make are magnets. Magnets can be made from all kinds of thing. The ones I am submitting are the small photos on the backs of calendars.
By Randa Wagner
This is a skateboard cake for an 8th birthday party. My friend wanted a skateboard party for her son. We could not buy a cake that fit the theme. This is what we came up with.
By Marian Poke
I have a lot of fabric and a lot of scraps leftover from my projects so I decided to make some potholders from the scraps. I have not been able to master the binding that goes around the edge so I tried something different.
By Jackie H.
Baby dolls, boy and girl, made out of one pink thermal receiving blanket and one blue thermal receiving blanket, a boys bonnet, a girls bonnet, a blue bib and pink bib, white thin satin ribbon, girl booties and boy booties.
By Orquidea Pires
I made a pin with teabag folding (package) and a button. You only have to fold your teabag's envelopes to make the medallion and then put some water resistant varnish and use a nice button to decorate.

By Maura
If you find a big stain on the front of your infants onesie or child's t-shirt, or would rather not be advertising some company name splashed across the front, cover it up with a hand-made patch!
