We're having SO much fun sharing our Best Friends projects this week, and today is no exception. We thought we'd show you a little Crafting with Kids project because little people have best friends too...
Designer Diana Brodeur sat down with her daughter and let her create a card for a friend...
A great way to ensure their projects come together in a cohesive way is to set out a small assortment ahead of time. And, let's be real, this also lets you rest easy knowing they aren't going to use your favorite Cameo Accent because they found it rummaging around in your supplies.
Once you've pulled out coordinating products, older children can do their own cutting, gluing and placing the embellishments down on the card.
While your littles work on their masterpieces, you might want to whip up something like this, from Designer Emeline Seet:
Emeline's card uses various elements of Best Friends in a layered and beautiful way...wouldn't you love to get that in your mailbox?
Speakng of getting things in your mailbox...it's not too late to enter to WIN our Best Friends RAK prizes! These are going to be randomly included in Best Friends orders throughout the month of October...
For instance, we'd love this card set by designer Kay Rogers to end up on YOUR front door!
Isn't it cute?
So, head over to our website TODAY and order up your BEST FRIENDS!
Love seeing the children crafting!! Wonderful cards!
