It’s crap craft time with The Punk again. Everyday is craft day in our house. Things get ugly fast when I don’t have something craftastic at the ready. This is pretty straightforward and not terribly imaginative. However, it keeps Beastly at bay, and we’ve come up with some cute pretties (as we like to refer to hair clips in my house).

Materials for Easy-to-Make Pretties

snap clips
glue gun
glue sticks
crap to stick on such as felt flowers, googly eyes, pompoms, ribbons, etc.

Put a dab of glue on the clip and let your kid stick something on it. They have some pretty cute things in the scrapbooking section of craft stores. Anything that you can glue down will work. Hopefully, it’s something that won’t be embarrassing to look at when it’s stuck on top of your kid’s head.
