36 Easter Basket You Can Make
Photo by Dot D Pull out some pretty fabric and sew up this Fabric Basket . Paper Mache is so easy and frugal that I had to include a second type of Paper Mache Easter Basket. My little girl would love this colorful Pony Bead & Milk Jug Easter Basket . I bet you have everything on hand to make these cute Paper Plate Easter Bunny Baskets . They would make a great school craft as well! For those who really want to take their recycling urge to the max, try out this Bottle Cap Basket . But be warned-good hand strength is necessary. This Woven Paper Basket is just gorgeous. I love how the two different papers complement each other. Just one sheet of pretty scrapbooking paper can make this lovely little basket .

T-Shirt Bracelet {Craft Camp}
Hello everyone! I’m Carrie from ThisMamaMakesStuff.com , a blog about living a creative and active family life. While I’m thrilled to be part of Craft Camp again this summer, I’m bummed that our summer hasn’t even begun yet! A Child’s First Crochet Project As an avid refashionista, I’m always looking for more ways to reuse a basic t-shirt and as a long time crocheter with an 8 year old daughter who’s just learning the skill, I came up with this crocheted t-shirt bracelet made from a simple chain stitch and pony beads. Even if you don’t crochet, this is a summer project you and your child can learn to do together. Materials needed for beaded t-shirt bracelet: Men’s Large T-shirt without side seams. Scissors or Rotary Cutter (a rotary cutter is much easier) Ruler Large Crochet Hook (we used size N .

T-Shirt Bracelet {Craft Camp}
Tie ends together around wrist and trim. Now you’ve got a finished bracelet! It might look a little plain inside the house… but with UV color changing beads, there’s a surprise waiting once you set out into the sun! Even though we used white shirts and color changing beads, colored shirts and colored pony beads are fun too. Make sure to slide beads onto the knit noodle in the same pattern you want to see in the finished bracelet. A few more tips: Using a T-shirt without side seams is crucial since the pony beads will not slide over the bulk of a side seam. But don’t worry! They are really easy to find in many different colors at the thrift store. You probably even have a bunch of them in your own house. You might want to let your new crocheter practice the chain stitch without using the beads at first. Need more help learning to crochet a chain stitch? Check out this helpful series.
