A Trove of Treasure Stones

I found the recipe for these at Sew Can Do. I had seen kits and always thought they looked cool but could never justify the cost. After finding out how to make my own, I made them for my girls that very weekend.


The girls loved them, so I suggested we make some to send to their cousins. The girls had a blast making them too.








I am going to buy the smallest willow wreath at Dollar Tree and use it to make a nest. Then we are going to make Dinosaur Eggs and give these to a friend who has three small boys next. I figure it will be a blast to paint dinosaur eggs to put in the nest!!

  3. I love cooking activites that involve the children--You are teaching SO many lessons without their even knowing it.! Thanks for dropping by. One great way to find a good uphosterer is to check bulletin boards in fabric stores. Of course, word of mouth and a recommendation from a friend is wonderful!
