Summer Crafts!

Summer is finally here, the time of year we have all been waiting for! Kids are out of school for the summer, the vacations have been planned to visit with family and friends or just to kick back and watch the world go by! Summer is typically the time we look to crafting where the stop at the local craft store just for a few minutes turns into hours of browsing around all the different crafting sections, thinking how great that would be to learn something new or to add to the stash of the crafts that you already do. This time of year is perfect as well to introduce the kids to new crafts or to add to the ones that they might already do. Crafting is the perfect thing to keep the kids occupied on road trips, or during those Mom I am bored times, that happens periodically throughout the summer! Beading has always been a great summer time craft for kids of all ages to learn or to advance into other types of beading styles and bead types. If you are just starting out in this fun and exciting craft, then a simple and fun key chain would be a great first project. If you are more advanced or want to try something different or new then a small beaded banner or loom project would be a great way to introduce yourself or your kids to this fun craft. A perfect beginner bead key chain project can be found by clicking on this link and then going to our Free Pattern Section and printing out the pattern called: "Beaded Key Chain For Mom" Its a cute and fun project and makes a great gift! While you are there don't forget to check out all our great projects, there is something there for every age and experience levels! Follow the link to a Summer full of beading fun!
