Mom…..I’m Bored!

January 22, 2007 by Christina

Coloring with Daddy.

I enjoy the peace and tranquility of my craft room. The hum of the sewing machine puts me into an almost zen-like state. I become so focused on what I am doing that nothing else seems to exist….until….”Mom, I’m bored!” I’m sure this has happened to all of us, but don’t fret, take this opportunity to tap into your child’s inner crafter. Teach them that they can create something beautiful with just a few things and alot of imagination.

Be prepared for these opportunities by creating a box of craft supplies just for your youngster. This is a great beginning craft for you to do with your child. Find a large cardboard box and decorate it with paints, fabric scraps, glitter, whatever you have on hand to make the box something they will know is theirs. Now the really fun part begins, searching for new and fun crafts to fill the box.

What would you fill your child’s box with? Please keep in mind that all items should be age appropriate. I wouldn’t put a hot glue gun in my four-year-old’s craft box, but I would toss in a couple of glue sticks, some safety scissors, different types of paper, crayons, pencils, the possibilities are endless. There are many websites that offer really cool arts and crafts supplies for children.

How To Sew a Banner from felted wool sweaters

If you’re looking for a creative and sustainable craft project, look no further than the Upcycled Wool Felt Banner tutorial from Cucicucicoo. This DIY project is perfect for those who love working with fabric and want to give old sweaters a new life. It’s an easy way to make beautiful, eco-friendly decor while also recycling materials that would otherwise go to waste.

What I love most about this project is how customizable it is. Whether you’re using wool sweaters in soft neutrals or bold, vibrant colors, you can create a banner that perfectly suits your home decor or seasonal celebrations. The tutorial guides you step-by-step through turning old wool sweaters into felt, which is then used to make the banner pieces. It’s the ultimate upcycled project, giving you a chance to breathe new life into things you may have otherwise thrown out.

The process is easy to follow, and it doesn’t require a ton of supplies – just a few sweaters, scissors, a needle, and thread. Plus, this project doesn’t just make for beautiful home decor; it’s a wonderful activity for kids, especially when working with felt pieces.

This Upcycled Wool Felt Banner would be great for various occasions, such as fall, winter, or even holiday decor. You can hang it on the wall, drape it across your mantel, or add it to a wreath or as part of a festive display. It’s such a charming and thoughtful addition to any space.

I can’t recommend this tutorial enough for anyone looking to upcycle and make something beautiful out of old sweaters. It’s simple, creative, and so much fun to make!
