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!

We used to make potholders by weaving those stretchy loops together, made placemats out of old calendar pictures and clear contact paper.. and lots of other stuff but that’s the only specific things i can think of right now.

I loved spin art. We would try to see who could come up with the most unique designs. My children love anything they can be creative with, they enjoy making things at home depot ant then we go home and paint them

My favorite craft as a kid was melting crayons and putting it between wax paper to make a cool faux stained glass look! My kids like to use those beads that you iron to make cool designs and such.

As a child I loved doing paint by numbers. My kids like doing the sticky mosaics – which is kinda like a precursor to paint by number, but without the messy paint. One of these days they will be old enough for that messy paint!
Also, I am a Facebook fan!

My daughter is making friendship bracelets today.

We made all kinds of crafts growing up, but one thing comes to mind that we used to make, Godseyes, I still remember how to make them and did some with my girls recently. My girls are always up to any kind of craft I come up with and I am always on the lookout for a new exciting craft to do!! Last night we made rainsticks which they found fascinating!.
