Easy Miniature Easter Baskets - Reuse Those Coffee Pods!

With Easter just around the corner, what better use for your leftover coffee pods than by making miniature Easter baskets? What crafter doesn't love to find clever ways to reuse items that would otherwise get tossed in the trash?  These Keurig coffee pods are the perfect container for plenty of fun, kid-friendly crafts.

I first trimmed my Keurig coffee pod to about an inch in height, then glued a small spool of ribbon.  First using hot glue, then getting annoyed with how long it took, and switching to tacky glue.

 To help keep the ribbon ends from fraying, I like to apply a bit of clear nail polish.  Give it time to dry, then glue in place.

Then I added a puffy sticker for detail.  I found some adorable puffy animal-themed stickers on Amazon that I use in a lot of my miniature dollhouse crafts.

Or check out my other DIY Miniature Easter Basket (video) tutorial. 

As always, if you make this craft, or have other suggestions for the coffee pods, please leave me a comment.  Happy Easter! 

 

Painting Sea Shells is an Easy Kid-friendly Spring Break Craft!

Do you have dozens of sea shells and no idea what to do with them?  You're not alone.  Over the years, my daughter has collected a shockingly large amount of sea shells, despite the fact that we don't live anywhere near a beach. 

Painted sea shells are a fun craft.

As I was making a miniature Mermaid-themed dollhouse bedroom for my Youtube channel, I realized the amazing potential of painted sea shells.  This was such an easy, kid-friendly craft using water color paints.  I also found that using shells with crevices makes for much cuter painted seashells.

DIY Miniature Bunk Bed with Drawer & Bookcase for LOL, LPS, or Small Dolls

Hey guys!  In today's Youtube tutorial, I'm making a miniature dollhouse bunk bed with a drawer large enough to store some clothes and accessories, along with a bookcase.  I always wanted a bunk bed as a kid, despite the fact that I had a room to myself :)  Why are bunk beds so cool? 

Anyways, I used foam board (it's so sturdy, I love it), craft foam, and fabric to craft this mini bunk bed.  You can buy foam board at Dollar Tree for $1.  I think it might be about $2 at Wal-mart.  And you can make a lot of mini crafts and dollhouse rooms with one piece.
