Crafts + DIY
The Crafts and Do it Yourself area of Happy Mothering is full of crafts for everyone of all ages. All of the crafts and DIY projects are things I’ve found fun creating with my girls and on my own. I hope you have as much fun making these as we did.
Adult Crafts –Although my girls were present and helped with many of the projects on Happy Mothering, these crafts are more geared towards adults. You’ll find home décor, seasonal and home fragrance DIY projects, just to name a few.
Kids Crafts – These are fun crafts my daughters truly enjoyed creating together. All of these projects are designed for kids to do under the supervision of an adult.
Christmas Crafts – We have so many Christmas crafts on Happy Mothering they deserve their own category. My girls and I have had more fun than you can imagine making all of the ornaments and other fun projects.
