3D Paper Turkey - A Cricut Project

Image
This is a great Thanksgiving project for kids - it's pretty quick and easy to make! Cliff Notes: Made with free shapes, all included in the step by step below. Cardstock is from the packs at Michaels that are often for sale 4 for $10.  About 9 sheets of brown, 1 of black, 2 of orange, and a scrap of yellow for the beak I used an elmers glue pen and a glue stick (but there are probably better options... those are just what I had on hand) By Step: It's easy to find a scalloped circle and upload it to design space.  For this project, I looked to see what is already in design space, and after searching for "scalloped circle" and filtering by free, I found this blue one that looks to be perfect for this project.  It has a green a on it, which is supposed to signify "free for access members", but I am NOT an access member.  I do not pay anything to use design space.  And this circle was still free for me.  If it is no longer free when you try to make this (t...

Cricut Easter Baskets

Image
Cliff Notes: Baskets are from the Dollar Tree, Target, & DH Gate.  Details are below, for each. Designs are from all over.  I've started this post with a list of places to find free bunny faces, then later in the post I describe each design I used and where I got the elements for it. I used a regular iron for all of these.  It's what I always use, I never have any problem using an iron.  I use a silicone baking sheet inside (or behind) items when Ironing on my designs, I think it helps.   Siser Easyweed HTV.  I buy it on Amazon, with prime free shipping, it's always the cheapest that way, for me.

Party Games For Large Groups

We love cards and board games, but when our crew gets together, there are just too many of us for most board games, which often only allow 6 players. Before the holidays this year, I went on a search for some games we could play when there are 9, 10, or 15 of us. Partners In Pen (View a YouTube Video Of This Game) Items Needed:  A bag full of random objects, a paper, a pen and a bunch of friends. Take the tablet and pen out of  the bag.  Add  random objects from around the house to the bag—you’ll want 2-3 items per a team. Hand one of the partners the tablet  and a pen and hand the bag full of random objects to the other partner. Now ask the player with the bag to describe 2-3 objects, one at a time,  without naming them or telling what is it used for while the other partner tries to draw the object.  Then flip to a new page in the tablet, pass the bag and tablet to the next team, and repeat., with them choosing different items from the bag.   ===...
