This post is brought to you by FloraCraft® Make It: Fun®. I am so excited to be a part of the Make It Fun® Team this year. #makeitfuncrafts

Hello! I am so, so excited to be sharing another fun idea with Make It Fun Crafts. This month’s challenge was home decor using FloraCraft® Make It: Fun® Foam sheets in a way that would be tricky using typical canvas. The one huge difference is that foam sheets can be cut & shaped into any size or shape that you need. So you are able to customize your project for your space. So I decided to make this Easy Love Canvas Art for Valentine’s Day! Eek! So let’s get started!

Easy Fleece Scarf {tutorial}

This post was first seen over at Craftaholics Anonymous.

This easy fleece scarf would make the perfect first time sewing project. It’s so simple to make. Annnd for under $5 each…this is a very inexpensive project to tackle! A few months ago I was at a marching band competition for my older two kiddos, & a lady walked by with the cutest fleece scarf on in their school colors. Of course, I thought to myself I could totally make that! Annnnd I did! So let's get started!
