This craft is soooooo suitable for any occasion. First, you can do it for yourself as picture display. Second-third-fourth and so, you can make it Mother’s day gift, Father’s day gift, Grandparents’ day gift or Valentine’s day gift: just add corresponding words or embellishments!

Instead of throwing away, reuse it!
This bear could be just cute decoration, loosen change collector or desktop organizer
Craft supplies
Clear empty plastic jar (bear-shaped) – you can find it in grocery store, with honey, of course
Acrylic paint (we suggest brown, white, black, yellow, red), brush
Optional – straw hat from craft store (the size depends on the size of your bear’s head
), feather
Directions
Paint the jar brown, let it dry
Draw eyes, nose, heels, basket with berries as you see on the pictire or, as you wish
Add a hat if you like, stick in feather
If you leave no hat and lid, just put some pens in it and have this custom desk organizer!
Craft supplies
Plain t-shirt
Posterboard, clothespins
Fabric paint
Your hands!
Directions
Put posterboard between t-shirt’s sheets (so fabric paint won’t print on the back side
), secure with clothespins
Squeeze some fabric paint onto your palms and smear it as you would soap when you wash hands (but only palms this time
)
Now press your palms onto the front sheet of t-shirt (you may write your initial between prints, too, as you see on the picture)
Ask your sister/brother/mom do the same
This is going to be great gift for your Dad on Father’s day he will definitely adore and cherish!
You can also make such t-shirt for your grands but we’re afraid they would put it on the wall, not on themselves
Tips: let the smallest one be the first who leaves her/his prints. Improvise! You can make “hands flower” (your hands are petals), or sun, or rainbow… Or just arrange the prints in any design you want! Anything will work, that is YOUR project!
