Simple Spring Hanging Decoration Craft For Kids.-And a bonus craft

Hello and happy spring to everyone! We have been busy getting ready for spring break, and this week we will be attending some events for the kids. Over the weekend, we made a few simple crafts that were so much fun and easy to create.

Below, you will find a list of the materials needed and the steps to create this simple craft. Enjoy reading!

Materials needed

Paper plates (I purchased these from Dollar Tree)

String- Any will do. I used some leftover gift bag string

Scissors

Jewels/Gems (I found this bag of butterflies at Dollar Tree)

Clear tape

Hole puncher (I used my flower punch out)

Creating your Spring hanging decoration

This craft is pretty much hands-on for children. If your child is not yet using scissors, you can help with this first part.

Using scissors cut out the middle of the paper plate.

Once you do this step, take your clear tape and apply it, covering the middle area of the plate. You will want the sticky side of your tape to face up.

Next, take your jewels, and let your child place the jewels where they would like on the sticky side of the tape.

Once your child is finished you can now cover the jewels with a layer of tape. This will secure everything.

The last step is just using your punch out, and making a hole on the top. Once you have done this, just add your string. You are all done!

Kids, be sure to hang your decorations so everyone can see your beautiful creation!

If you have some leftover gems, scroll down and check out a bonus craft you can create.

Bonus Craft

You'll need some popsicle sticks, hot glue (parents should help with this part), paint, and your gems.

We glued two popsicle sticks together, painted them, and added our gems. And there you have it, simple Spring bookmarks!

Keeping Blogging Positive: The Do’s and Don’ts of Community Support

The Do’s and Don’ts in a Blogging Community If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years of blogging, it’s that the community can be one of the best parts of the whole experience — when we’re actually supporting each other. Blogging isn’t just hitting publish and hoping someone reads it. It’s connecting, showing up for one another, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome to share their voice. But let’s be honest: not every corner of the blogging world feels that way. Sometimes people forget that behind every blog is a real person doing their best. So I wanted to put together a simple, down‑to‑earth list of do’s and don’ts — the things that genuinely help build a positive blogging community, and the things that… well, don’t. Nothing complicated, nothing dramatic. Just the kind of common‑sense, supportive habits that make blogging more enjoyable for all of us. The Do’s: How We Can Lift Each Other Up Do show support in ways that feel natural to you Support doesn’t have to b...

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space? Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree. You can make this lovely decoration in just 10 minutes. Let’s get started on this succulent decoration together! Materials -One baking pan -Spray paint -Stones/rocks -Crushed glass -Artificial succulents -One glass candle holder Start by applying spray paint to the baking pan. I had a bronze color from a previous project, and it would be a great opportunity to use it again. When applying spray paint, make sure to cover the surrounding area and ensure that the space is well-ventilated. Once you have painted the pan, allow the paint to dry. I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...
