What was your favorite childhood craft?

[LoveDaisy]

It is my annual girls weekend this weekend and we usually have a theme. This year we are doing crafts from our childhood. I am bringing coloring books and shrinky dinks.

What would you bring?

What a fabulous idea!!

I loved coloring too.

Also Spirograph, Play Doh, and plastic canvas.

I did all of those. I also did crochet, needlework, decoupage, beading, made pot holders, this wild stuff called Dip A Flower that made flowers that looked like stained glass, made clothes (first for dolls, then for me), had a Thingmaker (without getting burned), made tons of Christmas ornaments via various methods, and did tie dye t-shirts. We lived in a sort of rural-ish location, so it wasn’t easy to get together with friends, so crafting and reading kept me occupied.

Cross stitch! Loved doing that with my grandmother.

I did so many of these! We LOVED the Dip-a-Flower thing, Thingmakes, pot holder weaving, sewing. We also made Christmas ornaments by supersaturating water with either sugar or salt, then suspending pipe cleaner shapes in this and letting crystals grow. OH! I had a woodburner that I loved to use, too!

Oh we loved Shrinky Dinks. We also made macrame plant hangers.
I got the Dip a Flower thing too and Spirograph.
