Where Every Penny Counts
This is a quick family craft that can be done Halloween night or really any time leading up to it. You simply take toilet paper rolls (something we all have), cut eyes in them, place a glow stick in them, and then when it gets dark place them in your bushes and on your lawn and it looks like this:
You can get the glow sticks at your dollar store, so this is a budget friendly idea, too! Thanks for the super creepy, super fun idea Thrifty Crafty Girl!

If you are looking for a fun Halloween craft to do with the kids, then here is a great idea. My kids always enjoy a craft involving paint so this is right up their alley. These will look super cute in our kitchen and depending on how they turn out we can use them for years to come. Thanks Happy Clippings!

It is finally starting to cool off here in Texas, a bit anyway, and it is totally putting me in the mood to do some fall decorating. I don’t really have a fall wreath, only Halloween, so I have been on the hunt for some good ideas. I absolutely love the simplicity of this fall wreath from Thrifty Decor Chic. I also love the cost to make it… only $11!

I am so ready for summer to be over now! I hate summers in Texas. Even though I won’t be experiencing cooler temperatures or changing leaves any time soon, my kids and I can still pretend, right? I think this leaf art project looks so fun and depending on how they turn out, I might frame them and use them for some fall decor in the house. The project calls for drawing/printing out and cutting out paper leaves, but I think I will take my kids on a little stroll through the neigborhood to collect all different kinds of leaves and then use those instead. Thanks for the great craft idea Rockabye Butterfly!

Grandparent’s Day will be here soon! If you’re looking for last minute Grandparent’s Day gift ideas, here are a few that are budget friendly and easy to make! If you’ve already got Grandparent’s Day covered, these are great ideas for the holidays, too!
Grandparents LOVE to show off photos of their grandchildren and they also love gifts that are “from the heart.” Kids love crafts with glue and craft sticks! Your kids will have fun making their own craft stick photo frame and their grandparents will love it!

This hand print photo apron is a bit more involved than some of these other items, so this might be one you want to save for the holidays instead! I think these are so cute! They didn’t do it in the picture, but I think I would add the grandkids names under their hand prints!

Today’s gift is a tissue paper flower bouquet! My mother in law and daughter actually made this one when she was here visiting us last summer and had a blast doing it together! Make a bouquet for the grandparents and give it to them or you can buy the materials and let it be a “bonding” activity instead!
