DIY BEAR KIDDO TEE

It's DIY Friday already. Gee where did that week go? How cute is this Bear Kiddo Tee from Oana’s blog. I think I'll be making one for my little man this season. I've been wanting to experiment with fabric paint a little more so this might be the perfect project to start with.

What you'll need:

• tshirt
• template (download from Oana's blog)
• fabric paint
• pencil
• paint brush
• iron

Steps:

1. Download the outline drawing and print it.
2. Insert the print inside the tee, center it and trace the outline with a pencil.
3. BEFORE applying the fabric paint make sure you have a paper sheet or cardboard inside the tee so that the paint will not bleed through the back of the shirt. 
4. Carefully paint inside the line drawing.
5. After you have finished, let it dry according to paint bottle instructions.  
6. Once it has dried iron the back of the painted area to set the paint (or as per your paint instructions).

Then just admire your handy work. Oana has a whole series on the KIDDO TEE so make sure you head over to the blog to check them out! Very cute indeed.

DIY Easter Bunny Jars

I just love finding new DIY projects to do, especially ones the kids can help with. I think these will be on my DIY list for Easter. Now just to find some plastic bunnies. I think I know what we'll be doing today.

Tools and Materials

Plastic Rabbits

Glass jars with lids (old jam jars will do)

Spray paint

Super glue

Simply clean the jars and lids, glue the rabbits to the lids and spray them with spray paint in your choice of colour. And hey presto a gorgeous little gift jar for the kids this Easter. Place a little shredded paper in the bottom of the jar and fill with Easter eggs. Yummy!

DIY Yarn Wrapped Monograms

Looking for an adorable project that you can create for pretty much any occasion or even room.

I am a bit of a yarn lover so when I saw this project over at Evie S I had to share it with you. I'm thinking of making one of these for my daughters room.

Check out the full tutorial online here. And if you make one, make sure you post pictures on our facebook page. Happy Friday!

DIY Paper Lantern

Welcome to DIY Friday's. Each Friday we will bring you a fun DIY project that you can try for yourself at home and have a lazy day crafternoon. I love this lantern and it's been on my to do list for a while.

I think one of these would finish off the new kids cubby house quite nicely.
