Craft ideas

[figment3258]

Hi all we are at 192 days and looking for some craft ideas without spending very much money we printed out our mouse keeping envelops yesterday and that was a fun little project. Thinking about making our own autograph book and also maybe a tee shirt or two. Any ideas?

How about a countdown chain with brightly colored paper? There are tons of ideas here and on Pinterest.

Also, we bought water bottles at the Dollar Tree and decorated them with vinyl stickers. Great for the parks on a hot day!

I second the countdown chain idea. We do one for each trip and depending on how elaborate you make it that can certainly keep you busy. Also, have each kiddo make their own Disney piggy bank. They can earn money doing some simple chores.

Here is a craft for a water bottle strap that could come in handy in the parks:

Also, check out the Dis Disigns board....plenty of inspiration for autograph books, tshirt transfers, etc.

Lots of good ideas already. I made some shirts for my girls, the name fills with their favorite character. I also made the passport books and pressed penny containers. We made a Disney savings jar from an old oatmeal container, might be cute to do to save up some spending money as someone else said. Since I am planning our next trip so far in advance I am teaching my girls some of the basics of sewing for some cute projects for our next trip.
We bought our autograph books, I just couldn't figure out a good way to attach photos myself where the pictures would be protected like they are in the ones you buy (and the ones you buy have a loop for your marker as well).
