A canvas frame, thumbtacks, and a bit of variegated yarn makes a quick and easy piece of heart art that is perfect for the season of love 🙂 Display it on your mantel or give it as a gift. I may even make a set to hang on the wall of my daughters room!

Materials:
- 8×10 canvas frame (I used black but you can easily use a white one)
- Silver flat head thumbtacks
- Skein of rainbow variegated yarn (or any yarn/string you'd like)
- Hot glue gun
- A piece of felt

I created a printable heart template that helped me place the tacks evenly. You can print it out HERE if you wish to use it as well.

I placed the template over the canvas and poked the tacks through the paper.

Then I carefully peeled away the paper. It's ok if a couple of your tacks come out, just pop them back in place. We will secure them later.

Starting from the bottom, wrap your yarn around the bottom tack and weave your way up the heart. Wrap yarn around each tack 2-3 times.

When you get to the top you will need to wrap one side of the heart and then weave the yarn to the other side and finish the other side of the heart (see picture below).

Now flip your canvas over and use your hot glue gun to glue the tacks that are sticking out in place.

Then cut a piece of felt and glue it over the back just to make sure those tacks won't poke anyone!

Now hang your artwork and admire!

Gifts, especially those created by kids, don't have to cost a lot of money. In fact, the perfect materials for a thoughtful gift may be sitting in your recycling bin. Giving old items new life is not only green, it's a lot of fun. It is so cool to take something destined for the trash and turn it into something beautiful and useful. And when we do a craft like this with our children, we are teaching them to see "garbage" in a new, creative light. With little more than a handful of old keys, a piece of drift wood, string, and paint, my son and I created this DIY key wind chime. It would make a lovely gift for anyone who has a garden or balcony, a birthday present for grandma, a house warming gift for a new neighbor, and of course Mother's Day is just around the corner.

Want to know how to make your own? It's simple!

Old Key Wind Chime Tutorial

You'll need:

at least 5 old keys

a piece of drift wood or stick

string or fishing line

optional: acrylic paint

How to:

1. Optional: Paint your keys and stick. Choose a few coordinating colors and have your child paint the keys and stick. Our keys took two coats, let the first side dry before flipping and painting the other side.

2. Tie a piece of string to either end of the stick so that you have a way to hang it.

3. Tie a piece of string to each key.

4. Tie the keys to the stick making sure that they are close enough to each other that they will chime when the wind blows them.

5. Gift, hang, enjoy!

I hope this project inspires a little crafty recycling in your home. I'm sure you and your little ones will love turning trash into treasure. And whoever receives your thoughtful handy work is sure to be pleased as punch. I know they make me smile every time I enter my garden.

Here's to crafting and giving green!

Using watercolours is a really fun way to make a striking and effective background for any silhouette picture. By adding the black silhouette at the front of the picture, your watercolours can become a beautiful sunrise or sunset. We used this technique to make mosque pictures, but you could try it with any skyline.

To make your watercolour silhouette pictures, you will need:

Watercolour paints (We used this brand. You could also try liquid water colours or palette watercolours and see the difference between each one)

Watercolour paper

Print out your silhouettes (you can download some of ours here) or draw your own freehand.

Scissors

Glue stick

Paint brush

Pot of water

This activity is suitable for both kids and adults. R and I had fun painting these pictures together, and the other boys have enjoyed making these in the past too.

To make the background, you can use the technique of squeezing out a few lines of paint onto the paper like this:

Then take your wet brush, and smooth it across each colour to let them spread and merge together.

Of course if you're three years old, then you might want to just take your paints and brushes and go with it in your own style like R!

Whatever design you go for, once it's finished - set aside your watercolour background to dry, and cut out your silhouette templates. Once they are fully dry, you're going to stick these down at the bottom of the picture to create the foreground.

And you're done! Here are some of ours:

You can talk about the different colours for the sunrise and sunset, and link it in to talking to the kids about different times of the day like Fajr time and Ishraq, or Maghrib time (these are dawn, sunrise and sunset for any non-Muslim readers who may not know)

You could also use the pictures to stick on the front of a card, for Ramadan or Eid.
For more Arabic and Islamic crafts for kids, make sure that you're following our board on Pinterest.
