A little family
We did a craft this morning. It involved paint and glue guns, and lots of paper towels. And patience, which surprisingly I had even after 2 espressos (my sin is out….I am back on the beans).
Can you guess what it was.
Yes, we actually cut that square piece of felt…and also glued felt to the sides and box lid.
So what do you have when you pull back the perfectly cut square of pink felt?
No, it isn’t a tiny coffin, although at this point it may look like one.
It is a tiny quiet box, complete with little, strange people. There is a mommy with long flowing blond hair, svelt in her yellow apron, and a purple necklace (we all know who that is). A boy with a baseball cap, made by Quinn. A little girl with blond pigtails dressed in a tremendous amount of pink (can you guess who that is) made by Mia (with a tad of help) and a true-to-life daddy complete with a bald spot (I swear it was Mia’s idea…I had NOTHING to do with it).
We had so much fun making these. It was super easy, and Mia has been playing with her little family all morning.
Instructions to make a Quiet Family can be found at the very talented Scribbit. I sooo want the little fairy tale family, and will have to do one of those. Fairies would also be precious.
that is totally cute. Love it!
I also was LOL over the tiny coffin comment.

I love your pictures, they’re just wonderful!–I mean I was looking at some of your other posts as well, not just this one
You have an eye with the camera.
And glad you liked the idea–love the stretched-neck look!
I guess they’d work well with all shapes of clothespins wouldn’t they?
I would SO be into this if we weren’t already swimming in crap!
Just TOO Mcuh Stuff!
