DIY Projects: a final round-up

The responses to the BloesemKids' Craft projects round-ups are really nice so I thought I keep brining them to you ... I have said it before but almost every week you can find a new craft project at BKids. Contributors like Teri from Giddy Giddy, Véronique from Pichouline and Jennifer Kirk from Ambrosia Creative always know how to come up with something nice and simple to either create yourself or togther with your child...

The projects in the image above you can find via these links: 1. Spring Wardrobe Update 2. Puppets  3. secret message decoder 4. mini-viewer 5. Hand-drum 6.  The Long-Reach Gizmo;

Yep a new round up off craft projects we posted on BloesemKids for the past couple of years. They are so much fun to do yourself or with your kids, it doesn't matter.

112 DIY Projects: a little round-up with Bookhou

{1. alphabet poster  2. shadow box 3. drawing bug 4. fabric collage 5. extended landscape 6. paint textures }

Last week I did a little round-up of all the DIY projects I share almost weekly over at BloesemKids... and there I was assuming that every visitor of Bloesem knows about my other blog B:Kids I noticed via comments, tweets and emails that not all of you know,  so I am going to do another round up today of previous DIY projects posted on BKids ... The special thing about today is that all the DIY projects come from one single women ... Arounna Khounnoraj from Bookhou ... she and I met each other when I was living in Toronto and a couple of years ago she had a little bit more time to create DIY projects for BKids. 

I am super happy for Arounna and her family that their label, Bookhou, is going so extremely well and I hope one day I can stop by their brick and morter shop in Toronto.

And please don't miss today's DIY project: a secret message with decoder. 

111 DIY Projects a little round-up

{above: this week's craft project by Véronique from Pichouline: how to make a Paper Flower Ball}

I believe it is about time that I share with you a round up of DIY projects that I have been posting over the last couple of years on my other blog BloesemKids.... #111 Projects so far to be exact!

All these projects were made especially for BKids by creative contributors, often moms who understand a thing or two of what kids can make, but some of them are just as much fun for us grown-ups as kids ... so here are just 5 links to just 5 of the projects... next week I will even go fiurther back in the past and show you some beautful ones that Arounna from Bookhou made for BKids.
