Craft Camp 2016 - Week 1

Week #1 is in the books and it started with a birthday theme.  The girls made my birthday hat pennant banners and had fun cutting out huge faces of their family to decorate and string up. 

Afterwards, they painted a cheery Happy Birthday sign to hang in their homes when the big day comes around.  These will be cherished forever!

The next project was swanky silhouettes and we started by getting the lights just right and taking pictures of their profiles.  I cut out their profiles on my Cameo Silhouette machine and then we made a fun mess with water and colorful fingernail polish to create a groovy marbleized paper look on the thin plastic cut out.

Then we used the reverse cut out to create these on canvas.

And lastly, we whipped up these adorable thank you notes for the girls to take home!

Friday was Father's Day workshop and we created these wood trays with 

racing stripes for Dear Old Dad!

We also made a cooling summertime shaving gel...

and to make the day complete...Kahlua Bars and Old Fashioned Brownies.  

and when you have Bennie in the class, you have to have some reference to MineCraft or Star Wars...light sabers?

 Happy Father's Day to our campers dads and dads everywhere!

Craft Camps 2015 Week One!

So happy to have happy campers ready to get creative!  

The First day we painted ice cream or popsicle themed door hangers...here's a look.

I guess wearing Chacos is a requirement during the summer...they were watching me spray polyurethane on their banners when I noticed this!

Here's the morning group with Miss Paige...our wonderful and talented assistant!

Now for the afternoon group...

Don't they (and the puppy!) look great?! 

Day two was Way Cool Candles and Soap day + one Father's Day gift...

Making gel candles is fun and easy and the whole house smelled heavenly!

Next up was soap...the kids decorated their liquid soap bottles, then chose scents, colors and packaged them up to give as a gift...or keep for themselves!

Lastly, we painted personalized coat hangers for Father's Day...

Miss Paige helps cut the ribbon for the gift bags...

And here they are with all of their great smelling things!

On the last day we had the Father's Day Factory and made all kinds of things for day!

There were several activities the kids made with their siblings...the collage, pennant banner and treats.  They had to share the task and it went pretty well.  I think the Moms and Dads out there would be pretty proud of them.

Here's a sneak peak...before the bow, of course!

Then they all made cards and wrote personal notes about their favorite things about their fathers...

All four Hadley kids are waiting for their turn to make treats for their Dad!

Nice work...love the John Deere!

Miss Paige helps with decorations (pennant banners) assembly!

Each family went home with a goodie bag for dad that had cards, a picture collage of their family, treats, decorations and a personalized coat hanger!  Score for Dad!
