April showers bring .... Craft Night!!!

For this months craft night we made wooden holiday signs. Most people stuck with the Spring theme and made signs saying either "Spring" or "Easter". They came out very festive and will be great additions to bring in the new season.

Here is Tina's creation:

March Craft Night

Homemade laundry soap was on the docket tonight. We made awesome containers to keep our soap in. 

Laundry soap is super easy to make. It is not only easy on your clothes but easy on the wallet as well. Plus there are no harmful chemicals that you are wearing around on your skin all day. 

February Craft Night

Craft Night is back!!!! And better than ever I might add. We had so much fun making pallet coat racks. Some people even got creative adding picture clips above their coat hooks so that little ones would know which coat hook was theirs. Take a look at our fun projects. 

The key to a successful project is to sand first and then paint light coats. This green/red/blue one used one light coat of paint and then a nice sanding after the fact. Turned out nice, right!?!?  

The dark one got a bottom out on it to house the mittens or hats for users of the coat rack. A nice touch to keep everything in one neat little spot.

I added picture frames to mine with my sons name. Great addition to his room. 

Overall we had a ton of fun and got some great ideas for future nights out.
