The GE Iron Grip Adhesive offers up to 75% less clamp time than many other adhesives so it allows you to work much more quickly on projects like this.

I just picked up a package of these red color coding labels and stuck two together over a piece of white thread to create each “polka dot”.. I’m so glad I invested the 10 minutes one evening to actually try this idea out.It makes me so happy!.

I thought I was all done in the Staples store and I was ready to leave when I came across the yard sticks.Or rather, I guess in Canada technically they’d be metre sticks..I don’t know what it is about yard sticks, but I just think they’re really neat-looking.

Anyway, we went out to the garage and cut two of them into different lengths like this:.We made each piece about 2 inches longer than the last, then we glued them all together and suddenly they were a tree!.

So simple, but so cute!

Perfect for a classroom, workshop, or craft room….I really love how Crafting With Nature is sort of half garden book and half crafting book.

She talks about different easy ways to grow your own crafting supplies, and what to make with the things you’ve grown, but there are also sections about gathering things from nature and even the grocery store for making your nature-inspired crafts!I love any book, blog, or other publication, where I can read it and learn something that I can put to use immediately!.

Along with the book, Amy sent me some extra little goodies to get me started on some of the projects like some fabric scraps, some beet seeds, and some dried lavender.I can’t wait to spend a nice sunny few hours out on the deck playing around with some of these projects during naptime!.
