gettin crafty wit it....
Hi! I am Katie.
I blog over at {The Lacy Family} where I talk about my family & the daily musings of our sometimes loco life.
When Molly asked me to guest post, I knew I wanted to do a craft. I have been "pinning" summer crafts on Pinterest to make with the kiddos & this was a great opportunity to make one. I loved the idea of homemade soap after seeing this picture.
Our soap turned out NOTHING like the picture. I followed the directions to a tee but it came out all wrong. Bad, bad, just very bad.
Not one to be easily discouraged, I forged on. I was determined to have a fun craft to make with my kiddos & to share with the lovely readers of The Fuschia News.
We attempted another recipe after I saw this picture-
How fun does that look?! Puffy soap in the bath would rock! When I saw the ketchup & mustard
containers in the $1 section at Target, I thought they would work GREAT for this craft.
Aw, ignorance is bliss.
Again, I followed the directions but the soap didn't break down to come out "puffy". Total bummer.
So before you think Molly has asked a craft-reject to guest blog, I DO have a craft I made this week to redeem myself.
My little sweetie, Addison, lost her first tooth this week so I made her a very simple pouch to put her tooth in. There is a little pocket on the front for her tooth & then a pouch for the Tooth Fairy to slip so cashola into.
This was my inspiration.
You start with a long rectangle piece of felt.
Put glue on half of it & fold over to create a pouch.
I made Addison one the other day & made the little pocket into a heart. I made a tooth for the one I made today. You could do anything though!
Put glue on the bottom half of your shape. I used felt glue that I bought at Hobby Lobby. Make sure there aren't any gaps when you put it on the pouch - you wouldn't want to lose the tooth!
Let it dry & voila`! You are done! We added some pom poms to ours since they were in our craft box but you could decorate it anyway you wanted to!
Pouch for $
Pocket for tooth!
Thanks for having me guest blog, Molly! I had a great time!
Stop by {The Lacy Family} & say hi! I'd love to hear from you!

I think this was a super cute craft!! Way to go! I usually fail when I try to recreate.. never am sure what goes wrong but how in the world do they do it?! I had a glass etching party at my house based off a tutorial online. IT DID NOT WORK. I was so embarrassed. It happens.. at least ya try! :)
