Brielle had so much fun with her paper plate fish craft recently and asked to do more. When Gramma was due for a visit, I decided to let her help Brielle make another craft (or really was it Brielle who helped Gramma?) Together they made a fun watermelon craft for summer!

Watermelon contact paper #KidsCraft perfect for summer! | spotofteadesigns.com

First step: cut a circle out of a green paper plate.

Next, peel a piece of Con-Tact Brand Privacy Film and Liner and stick it to the back of the paper plate.

Love this shot below with one of them helping the other (not really sure which is which) but they both have the same facial expression. :)

Press it down to make sure it’s secure.

Cover the sticky contact paper with red and pink tissue paper squares.



Brielle kept telling Gramma to “squish it up” but Gramma preferred to have them flat.

Punch black shapes (I used a leaf punch) and use a gluestick to adhere them onto your pink and red watermelon center.

Proudly show off your watermelon craft (that apparently, according to Brielle, is good enough to eat!)

This was a fun and easy craft that both Gramma (who claims I took all the creative energy out of her when I was born) and Brielle could do together.

    This technique would be great for making decorations with a stained glass look to hang in the windows….like blue and white to create snowflake designs for winter or round ornaments for the holidays. Fun project!

Not only am I an etsy seller, I'm also an etsy buy Not only am I an etsy seller, I'm also an etsy buyer and supporter! When trying to figure out what to put in these frames in my new bathroom, I debated about designing something myself. After a quick search through Etsy I found @ateliercartouche and fell in love with Jennifer's watercolor style botanical prints!
.
I reached out about a custom size for the #gifted @custompictureframes frames I already owned and Jennifer worked with me to create a custom order that was easy for me to print and frame at home. I LOVE how they bring life into this space and I highly recommend her shop for digital art for your home! 
.
See all the details on my bathroom remodel including more info on these prints over on my blog --> https://spotofteadesigns.com/modern-half-bathroom-remodel-the-full-reveal/
I just introduced Derek to The Greatest Showman la I just introduced Derek to The Greatest Showman last night so it's only fitting I start this post with "this is the moment you've all been waiting for" (woahhh ohhh). It's our half bathroom reveal day! 
.
Swipe to see where we started with the weirdest spacing, a small crooked pedestal sink and basic builder grade everything. My handy hubby (along with my handy brother-in-law Frank) transformed this space into this modern farmhouse style that's now my second favorite room in the house. (Second only to my office, of course)

Yesterday in stories I asked what holiday is next Yesterday in stories I asked what holiday is next now that Easter is over. I want to beef up my etsy shop with more printables and also offer some more freebie svg files on my blog. I got a mix of Mother's Day, Memorial Day and Teacher Appreciation Week so thanks for the inspiration to get designing!
.
Those looking to crank out some Teacher Appreciation gifts early can visit my blog to grab three school / virtual learning svg files perfect for some drink cozy gifts!

I happen to love these slim can cozy styles for hard seltzers so visit the blog to see which ones I recommend for personalized crafts with heat transfer vinyl!

Look at these squishy baby faces from 2 years ago! Look at these squishy baby faces from 2 years ago! Two years I've been waiting to share this photo of the picture frame turned photo op frame for the @custompictureframes blog! It's a fun idea to tuck away for holidays, upcoming photoshoots for Mother's day, teacher appreciation week or just because!

Hope you all have a Happy Easter filled with baskets, hunts and family fun!
