It’s raining outside and the kids are grounded. I’m not sure how much of a punishment it is for the kids. It almost feels like more of a punishment to me. We can’t play with friends and Miles has lost half of his toys. So I find myself having to entertain them more than I usually do.

We decided to make a craft or two day. The first one we made was straw necklaces. It’s real simple and you probably already have everything you need.

How to Make Straw Jewelry

Supplies:

String (we used Christmas Wrapping Ribbon)
Colored Straws
Scissors

Directions:

Cut the straws (Zoe did all of this herself, and Miles did a few)

Cut the ribbon and tie a not on the end

Put the cut up straws on the string

Then you have one very happy girl
