Nylon flower clips

Nylon flowers are very easy to make if you have the interest to learn. There are loads of video o  youtube and mostly they are self explanatory if you have the tools with you.

Since I learnt to make the flowers, I started to glue them with a hot glue gun on clips. They look perfect for my kids.

Now I can make matching hair accessories for them.

Wind chime

Inspired by me, my daughter wanted to do some craft and she started to ask me everyday. So I just decided to do something with her help.

We had a lot of flower pots left empty. And I was thinking tat we could do something with it. I searched pinterest and I found that the flower pot could be used to make a wind chime.

My daughter is very much interested with bead work. She had a cup full of colorful beads. So I gave her some strings and asked her to put some beads in it. I used some flowers made out milk jug and the sun catchers which was left at home for a long time. She painted them and was very happy to help me.

I used an empty plastic flower pot which has holes at the bottom. These holes made it easier for me to tie the strings.

Beads, milk jug flowers, sun catchers, strings and some ready made foam stickers were the things I used. If you have any other small decorative stuffs like bells or earings too could be used.

The end result was a colorful wind chime. I was so proud that my daughter took some time to help me. When I hung it up,  on the ceiling, I was happy to hear " that looks pretty " from both my lil girls :)

Try them and make your kids happy too :)
