Pinterest- Inspired Crafts

This summer I have found a lot of awesome crafts on pinterest (you can see what I have pinned on my pinterest page). Unfortunately, I found more time to pin stuff than to actually make it, so my to-make list is still really long. For some reason, I always think my summer days are going to be fancy-free and lackadaisical, but in reality, it is usually our busiest time of the year. Anyways, I did get around to making a couple of pinterest-inspired crafts this summer, so come and take a peak:

Cork boats! I saw fancier ones here, but decide to sort of wing my own. I used a hot glue gun, and they floated great, until Phoebe realized that she could pull the corks apart and destroy....



Finn's jet pack. This was so darn cute, I couldn't resist.


And the super cute peacock tutu that I already blogged about here

Have you been pinterest-crafting this summer? Pin It Now!

  1. I have never been on Pinterest. I feel like I would get sucked in too quickly. But that jet pack is one of the cutest projects I've seen in a long time. I love it!
