Summer Holiday Crafts - day 1

Last summer Lara and I had a summer of craft. Most days during the school summer holidays we made, created and crafted all sorts of handmade goodies. Of course Lara remembered this and so has been asking me almost daily in the lead up to this years summer holiday to 'do more craft'.


So, not wanting to disappoint (and with the help of Pinterest) I have a few projects up my sleeve for the coming weeks.


Today's inspiration came from Marthaafterhours.blogspot.com . I love the chicken army on the blog and thought Lara would too. So after scouring the Internet for instructions on how to make the chicken beanbags and with a few left over scraps of fabric, a bag of split peas, some wadding, buttons and some felt we set about creating our own chickens.




Lara decided that she should make 4 chickens to spell out her name. Cute!
