Pinning It Down~ Rainbows Week One.
There are a couple of amazing bloggers out there who have had the idea of a century!!!! You know that I (and everyone else out there) is obsessed with Pintrest! There are a million ideas out there and they are all wonderful ones! So we saved them on pin boards that we name and categorize so we can find them easily and at a minutes notice! 🙂 However….sometimes that’s all we do! I know that I post so many things that I know I will never do. But Sarah over at Amongst Lovely Things and Pam over at Everyday Snapshots have put together a plan to help us DO some of them! Each week they are hosting a linky party called Pinning It Down. To play you need to make or do something from a pin board, blog a bit about it, and link up over at their blog! It a simple and fun way to get rolling on some projects that I really want to do! So….here is my first ever Pinning It Down post.
This week I am making things off of my Birthday Pin Board. Bunny will be turning 6 here in a week and a half and I am hard at working trying to plan a Pintrest worthy party, while at the same time keep my budget from going broke! 😉 She chose a theme of Rainbows and Unicorns. So today I made some recycled glitter crayons as party favors, and some rainbow clouds to hang at her party! I started with the clouds. This idea came from an idea I pinned here. It was fairly simple. I cut out some cloud shapes out of white felt (I cut two of each). I then used some blue rick rack I had on hand to to make three tails off of each cloud. Then i sewed the could pieces together! Next, I cut out six circle of each color, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. These I glued to the rick rack tails in rainbow order! That’s it! They are all ready to hang up on party day!

Wow- these are great projects! I’m glad you’re feeling inspired to do some of those projects you’re pinning- that’s how I feel, too– invigorated to do something with all those great ideas. 🙂

I absolutely love the “recycled” crayons! I have a ton of crayons at my preschool that I have been saving. I think I might bring in my toaster oven one day and we’ll have a “recycled” crayon making day! This would be a great project for either St. Patrick’s day (rainbow crayons) or Earth day (recycling crayons) or both! Thanks so much for sharing!

Love, Love, Love the recycled crayons! For a family of only two children, we have four containers of crayons! And my son (Aspie) won’t use broken crayons! Maybe this will work.

Those crayons are adorable. I just almost threw away a huge bin of crayons. I think I am going to give this a try- a friend just gave me a heart silicone pan.
The rainbows are great too. 🙂
