Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting 24-hour giveaways at 8 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET to give you plenty of chances to win!
Looking for a fun, summer project to do with the kids? KLUTZ books always have some great options, like this new KLUTZ Glossy Bands book. The Klutz Glossy Bands book comes with everything you need to create beautiful, stretchy bracelets to share with your friends. Plus you can tailor the designs to your child’s skill level — from a simple two-color dot bracelet to a more complicated four-color flower bracelet.
If your child is into the Silly Bandz craze, he or she is sure to love making Glossy Bands! The book comes with enough gel to make 14 bracelets, so this should provide several rainy days’ worth of fun. Though it’s not demonstrated in the book, they also mention that you can make rings using the same techniques, so I’d imagine you could stretch it even further this way.
Five lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win a copy of the Klutz Glossy Bands book with 4 colors of gel, clear plastic work surface, swirling sticks, and Klutz clear instructions for tons of bracelet designs!

I liked to do just about any craft I could think of. If I had to pick a favorite, I guess it would be macrame hangers and bracelets. Now my kids like to sew pillows and draw. My older ones like to cook goumet meals.

My favorite craft as a kid was making garland out of construction paper at Christmas. This is something that my daughter and I do every year.

We were quite poor but my granny would let me cut small strips of colorful fabric into long skinny triangles and then we would dip them in glue and roll them up on a straw. When they were dry we had pretty beads in all shapes and sizes and would get into Grandpa’s fishing line and string pretty necklaces. Thanks for making me remember such great times. Now I have 8 grandkids (3 girls) and we do lots of crafts together and all the kids enjoy baking cookies at grandma’s house!

I can’t remember doing any specific crafts as a kid, but I did always enjoy “experimenting” with fabrics and the sewing machine! Thanks!
