Melted Bead Stars
Hello everyone! It's Megan from Homemade Ginger again and I'm going to be sharing a craft that's perfect for the Fourth of July! Do you keep a schedule for your kids during the summer or is it pretty laid back? I am naturally a very laid back person, but my kids absolutely thrive on a schedule. So, even though it doesn't come naturally for me, I have learned that when we schedule out our days in the summer months, everyone is much happier. One of my girls is particularly schedule obsessed. My … [Read more...]

Glow in the Dark Melted Bead Suncatchers for Halloween
These glow in the dark melted bead suncatchers are so much fun! This craft is so easy to make and the results are pretty cool. They look great hanging in the window, and they look even more awesome in the dark when they glow! Just make sure you bake these outside - Whether it's on your barbecue, or whether you take your toaster oven outside. Don't bake them in the house. The plastic vapours that come out when the beads melt are really strong. And I'm not an expert, but I'm guessing the … [Read more...]
Beaded Pipe Cleaner People
There's less than a week to go until my book launches! (June 26th is the day!) I wanted to give you a sneak peak of one of the projects from the book.

Beaded Pipe Cleaner Snowflakes
And we're back. Don't you hate it when you make an announcement to the world, and then you can't follow through because life gets in the way? Yup. It's been one of those weeks! My publisher sent me the printed pages of my craft book to edit, mark up and send back... so I had to read through 192 pages of crafts and instructions to find any mistakes. But I am ridiculously relieved to say that that was the FINAL edit and I won't see those pages again until it goes to print this summer. Crazy and so … [Read more...]
