PLASTIC CANVAS FACE MASK CLIPS

PLASTIC CANVAS FACE MASK CLIPS

I have been sitting back wondering how I could help with this pandemic...

I wanted to do something for people who are spending their days working

in hospitals, grocery stores and restaurant workers who have to be there

to provide food ...also for everyone when they go out and about shopping....

I decided since I can't really go and physically help out I would do it in another

way...using my favorite thing...my crafts....

First I crocheted headbands with mask buttons which I will post here a little later...

I donated some of them to medical workers at a local facility here....they were fun to make

and they seemed happy to get them....

Then I wanted something else that I could put together really fast to be able

to give them out to a larger number of people....

So....this is what I am doing...

These are little button clips that sit at the lower back of the head and hold the face mask

in place....I think they are cute and should make it more comfortable for people who have to

wear a mask for hours a day at work....

I am sharing my very quick and easy pattern here in hopes that some of you crafters

will help out and make some to give away too...there is no better feeling than to feel

that you are doing something to help out at times like this....if not or if you have just

enough time to make some for your own family please do that....all I ask is that you

wear your masks to stay safe!

Pattern is below...if you use it please share a comment or a picture of the clips you

made.....

Enjoy!

PAPER CUP CHICK BASKET

I guess I never have gotten out of the daycare mode.  I still find myself keeping these cute little crafts like I did back then. But now it's much easier than it used to be. I think I have mentioned before that I used to have to hand draw the crafts for my daycare kids.  I spent hours on it but it was worth it because they had so much fun making things.  

Now with computers and printers and those fancy paper cutting machines

it's so much faster to prepare for 'Craft Day'

Not to mention the thousands and thousands of ideas you find around the internet...

especially on Pinterest.

So here is a very cute and easy little Easter project...whether it's for your daycare

kids, your own kids, grandchildren, school class, Sunday school class...

wherever you spend time with kids...this would be a hit for sure...

might I suggest you buy a bag of jelly beans or some kind of yummy goodies

to fill them up with before they take them home....this always makes the

project even more fun!....and I know how much the parents love their kids

munching down a nice sugary treat before dinner!

But look how cute cute cute this is...I love it!
