Flowers are in bloom, and what better way to celebrate the season than with a beautiful new bed from our archive?
What you need:
-
- Craft moss
- 8 ½ x 11 cardstock
- Glue
- Scissors
- Shoebox lid
- Pencil
What you do:
- Print your favorite picture of a monarch butterfly from the internet on the cardstock paper. Make sure the size is almost as big as the 8 ½ x 11 piece of cardstock.
- Cut out your butterfly and trace the butterfly’s outline onto the shoebox lid.
- Cover all sides of the shoebox lid and the area around the tracing of the butterfly with moss.
- Glue your butterfly’s body to the shoe box.
Your pet will wake every morning feeling more beautiful with this bed!
Do you have a great idea for a craft, recipe or party game? We’d love to hear them!
doesn’t have to be a monarch
Is this a bed for our plush webkinz? How neat!
I’m gonna do this!
Oh wow I think I actually remember seeing this craft on the Webkinz site like 10 (or more) years ago!
Now it would actually be more than that because now it’s 2024.
Love it!
This is brilliant!
This is so cool!
I agree! Awesome design!
That’s a lot of colored ink. Since we’re mostly still at home, just print an outline and color it yourself, or use a page from one of those new coloring books, the really detailed ones. Could also do the floral beds.
smart idea! I know that I barley allowed to use colored ink when I use the my print which is like, all the time. LOL
Cute idea! But who owns a printer these days? Haha
‘Raises hand’
We do too, but those rising ink prices are a killer right now!
I have a printer! Just no colored ink….
In that case, you can print it in black and then colour it in yourself. I have my eye on a printer with a much easier refill system.
We do!
We have a printer and use it often.
We have one! It is pretty much always used for printing sewing, knitting, cross stitching, or quilting patterns. (We are a creative bunch here, though the yarn and fabric acquisitions {read:stash!} do seem to take over the house after a while!)
Is the Crafty Critterz trophy still a thing? I thought it was retired, but I might be wrong. Anyone know?
It is not retired. Submit a craft. If yours is selected, you’ll win the trophy.
Good to know! Food for thought!
