I'm glad we've been putting our little brown containers to work. My kids seriously scored with the latest craft installment. I mean what kid wouldn't want a whole craft made out of candy. All I can say is take candy, wrap in saran wrap, push pin into foam ball...REPEAT & REPEAT & REPEAT . This was no quickie craft but it was loads of fun and kept my girls entertained for hours. We actually started out making a craft using the same concept but made it a little more kid friendly. The girls made their very own spring topiary with paper flowers pinned all around the styrofoam ball. After we were finished with the candy topiaries, the girls told me that I needed to let them hide the crafts in their room...clever I say...I'm raising no dummies. I'm sure by morning all of the petals/leaves would have mysteriously disappeared.
Then we made (I mean I made a desert bloom out of felt and ribbon). I have apparently really gotten into the whole desert thing this year. I've thought about using them for favor/place holders for the dinner party I am going to throw next decade or at the rate that I move it may even be 2 decades.
Have I mentioned how much I love the little brown containers? Tarjay, $1.69 for a pack of 10.

C, These are sooo cute! I think I'll have the boys make these for this year's springy craft. Usually we make peep wreaths but I think this year we need something new.
before reading the post I was thinking "did she make these?" of course you did!! gorgeous!
These are so adorable!! Smart girls you have- I would have wanted it hidden in my room too, you know for safe keeping :)
Oooo, I LOVE the flower, but the trees are adorable too. I picked up my containers yesterday at Target!!
I was thinking the same thing as Helena - "tell me she didnd't make these" but I knew because of the little brown containers. You are just remarkable. I think I'm going to use the containers somehow to wrap my 23 year old daughters Easter goodies (clothes accesories). Super fun.
These are gorgeous and sound like such a fantastic craft for kids and adults alike!
P.S. I'm having a little giveaway on my blog, and I'd love if you found the chance to stop by...! :)
