Anyone know any good crafts for kids 6-10 that arent very expensive? I like to do crafts with the little ones i babysit we have already done : soap, picture frames, and cookies. Supplies isn’t a big deal and if It could a christmas present for mom and dad that’d be fine too or a holiday craft..
Just about everyone has had picture and art frames that they have thrown out because the glass is broken, missing, or they just got bored with it. Why not recycle your worn and withered frames to create a beautiful unique framed art design that would look great in any home décor.
To start out, cut a piece of cardboard and mount it to the back of the wood frame large enough to cover the opening of the frame and secure it with clear packing tape. The cardboard now replaces the missing glass and will hold your project in place. Next, cut decorative finished scrapbooking paper to the size of your frames opening. Next, apply artist spray adhesive to the back of your decorative paper and secure to the cardboard. Hold for a few seconds till the adhesive bonds. Note: this step can be done prior to securing your cardboard to the back of the frame opening. This will create a one of a kind piece of framed art work that you can incorporate in to your home décor. A group of 3 frames would create even more of a visual impact. Try painting old frames of various sizes the same color to create a framed art grouping. The main thing is to have fun with it and make it your own.
Another idea: Hot glue a magnet board to the inside edge of an open backed picture frame. You now have an instant message or photo board.
Supplies:
Wooden Frame Cardboard Decorative printed Scrap paper (Flat or shiny) Artist spray adhesive Optional – Paint picture frames (acrylic paint)

Rainy days are the perfect time to break with the arts and crafts that will drive away the sadness raining. The craftsmanship is perfect for all ages and makes sure that nobody is left out.
Toddler Crafts
Children ages two and up can sit at the table with paper and crayons. While younger children may not have a long attention span, the color will help keep a child entertained when you cannot play outdoors. Cut out some shapes on paper and let the kids decorate the shapes. For fun, break some glitter markers and some stickers. The foam is also a good choice for younger children. The foam does not break easily and is very versatile, which makes it a good material for young children to the boats.
Crafts for school age children
Children who attend school more adaptable to articles such as scissors and glue. Popsicle sticks are a great item to have been on hand for rainy days. Popsicle sticks can be used to build houses, picture frames and many other things. The possibilities are limitless and your child’s creativity is the limit. The paintings are also a good idea. Put some paint, brushes, paper and some water and paper towels for cleaning and painting of letting their children all day.
If children are in middle school or high school, who are experts in doing more than one color or a painting. Craft ideas for older children include a canvas painting, scrapbooking and other paper craft and the craft of timber and other items. Cross stitch and fabric arts are good deterrent time outdoors, and time-consuming.

Have you been thinking about starting a business of your own but are afraid to take any risks, especially in today’s uncertain marketplace? I believe that success hinges more on attitude and action than anything else.
Here is some information about a successful Christian businessman named David Green, owner of Hobby Lobby Creative Centers. David started his Hobby Lobby stores back in 1972.
It started out as a small frame shop where he retailed manufactured picture frames. It grew large within just 3 years. Today he has stores all across the United States (335 stores with 16,000 employees) which grosses a billion dollars in sales annually.
Listed below are some of the reasons why his hobby and crafts stores have prospered over the years. He started out with just a $600 investment in his business. Today his stores do over 1 billion a year in sales.
1. David Green is a Christian businessman who started from modest beginnings and went on to enormous success and attributes all his success to his total dependency on God.
2. Another reason for his success is that he has had a strong customer service policy. He believes he is a servant to his customers.
3. Along with his servant minded mentality towards his customers he practices and sets an example of strong character and integrity in front of his employees.
4. David say he also pays his employees better than other similar hobby and craft stores because he wants his stores to be a shinning light in the community and to stand out among other similar stores as well.
5. He has a list of high quality traits he passes on to his employees. There are even bible studies available as well as a company chaplain.
6. David says that true success comes through the Lord because everything hinges on eternity and without eternal life you are not really successful.
7. He says that prayer has helped him in business more than anything else.
8. He closes his stores on Sundays even though he is walking away from $100 million in sales. He does it to show the world and his employees where his priorities are.
Whether you are a Christian or not you can use these principles in your own home based business and excel. As I used to hear them say at Amway seminars, “Get your attitude up and your income will follow. Get your attitude down and your income will follow”. And… “Your attitude governs your altitude. And… If you think you can, you can and if you think you can’t, you’re right again!”
In the Holy Bible, the book of Psalms (Psalm 1, verse 3) God says that everything a righteous man does shall prosper. Here is a link to a web site that actually shows you how you can instantly become righteous today. While the rest of the world is given to change you can build your business on rock solid truth and promises that won’t change. http://www.godssimpleplan.org/gsps-english.html
