Time for our fortnightly catch up with Red Ted Art! As you can imagine the last couple of weeks have had romance in the air. Valentines Day has only just passed, and it's another popular craft focused day. But fear not it wasn’t all about the big V-day and the bits that were, you can still apply these crafts throughout the year – maybe at an anniversary? On mothers day? For a friends wedding??? Stop by and be inspired regardless…
Tutorials
Ink Stamp Lovely Things – every fancied using those cute little stamps? Have you got some lurking at the back of the drawer? Never really used them? Well now is the time to be inspired to get them out! Guest Poster Katie shows us some beautiful, lovely and rather simple designs to inspire you to Get Stamping! I know I have been, I even went out and bought some alphabet stamps.
No sew felt flower – although I am slowly stepping into the world of “sew”, I am still a great fan of all things “no sew”?! Why sew when you can create something beautiful that doesn’t need the seemsdress skill? Here I show you how to make some cute as a button felt flowers. Come and take a peak!
Kids Crafts
Walnut mouse racing – personally I adore this craft. These little walnut mice are so cute. So easy to make.. the “race” element is a cheeky little trick that makes them huge fun!
Hearts card and February picture – you may remember that we are working on an “annual” calendar to present as a Christmas gift to Granny – a picture a month which we will save for said calendar. Come see what February’s picture is, as well as our “I love you cards”, that we made and sent to different members of the family!
Robot cards – a super duper 10 min craft to keep all young children happy. Cut out some pieces, glue them on, hey presto a lovely robot card – or picture! Whatever you prefer!
Baby can - I also revisited an “older post” about my little girl beginning to draw. Although this post was written with art in mind, I think it applies to any favourite family activity of yours – stop by, read and remember that Baby Can!! (and wants to!).
Get Crafty
February’s Get Crafty was "Love Get Crafty" – there could of course be no other. You will find a selection of ideas to get you crafty – with kids, for kids, for adults or inspire you in the kitchen… mmmh. You must go and have a look and make some one feel special all year round!
