Crafty Craftin'

The boys have been busy doing a bunch of crafts that I planned for their time at home...all have gone pretty well, all things considered...that would be the fact that doing crafts with three boys can be a bit, ahem, challenging at times!


This one included Dad and Desiree', who happened to be around on the evening we did this in front of a movie. I got the idea from one of the fabulous blogs I follow and it was alot of fun!

We started with a big bowl of felt squares cut into pieces, about an inch or so:
Oh, and Bart decided he would lay RIGHT in the middle of it all as well...We took large Darning needles...(think BIG eye) and strung Black DMC floss on them. Then, I let the kids decide what their color scheme would be, and they just started stringing them on. Very relaxing and mellow craft I must say. I just stayed in limbo, to be available to restring needles for the little two every few minutes or so!
Jared ended up doing only one...and it was PERFECTLY straight. No crazy crafting for this guy.

Jeremiah and Desiree' hard at work:

I believe Jeremiah opted for Honda colors, and Desiree' did a rainbow sort of mixture. Travis also did an OSU wreath:
After we got the right amount of squares on, we just tied the floss in a knot to make a circle. I tied matching ribbon on, and to the tree they went! FUN!
