Did you know @barbie has had over 200 careers? Hec Did you know @barbie has had over 200 careers? Heck yeah, girl! Always reinventing…love that for you! 🩷 Throwing it back to when I made #barbiehalloween costumes for @mattel to match their then new career series. Countdown is on for our opening day viewing! #barbiemovie #thebarbiemovie #barbiethemovie
In honor of the release of the @barbiethemovie, he In honor of the release of the @barbiethemovie, here is a craft video I did for @mattel a few years ago! So fun to help kids create and “live” in the @barbie dream world! (Art directed by @bianquisima) #barbiemovie
My daughter Sommer saves everything—and she come My daughter Sommer saves everything—and she comes by that naturally. From deflated balloons to amusement park wristbands, she keeps them close, either on her wall or her arm. When you produce a child that inherits your sentimentality/ packrat tendencies, you make her a little memory book to save and savor moments and details from a place she loves. #campmail #diybook #diyscrapbook #craftymomma
What’s more fun than the ripping open of a hand- What’s more fun than the ripping open of a hand-addressed, oversized envelope? The ripping open of about 5 of them! Either Oliver will laugh really hard when he opens this, roll his eyes, or throw it across the room!

When I saw the price of greeting cards was upwards When I saw the price of greeting cards was upwards of $5, I told myself i was only going to #DIY my kids #campmail this year. Self-adhesive acetate sheets allow you to sandwich anything together to make a very cool oversized postcard (a technique I learned from @kieracoffee’s insanely brilliant #mailart.) Scroll through and check out the big fun I’ve been having! Cereal box postcards, sticker stories, 1990s magazine collage, glow in the dark duct tape! Seriously there’s nothing better than camp mail! 💌🏕️

🐰 Last minute #easterbrunch place cards! Make a 🐰 Last minute #easterbrunch place cards! Make a flag with washi tape and a toothpick and write your guests name on the tape. Secure it to the egg by wrapping a strip of tape all the way around the egg. Need a way for it to stand in its place? Just perch it on the tape roll! Couldn’t be easier! 🪺🐰 #lastminuteeasterdecor
My first winter as lifestyle editor at @parents me My first winter as lifestyle editor at @parents meant I had to produce an Easter story (we usually took the pics in December). The Easter crafting has always felt a little blurry to me—every year I did it, but I was always asking my coworkers “wait, what is the craft thought here?” So I decided to assign this first one out and @susanbanderson came to my rescue with these BABY SOCK lamb egg cozies. I didn’t even know eggs needed cozies! But I still love them to pieces! #eastereggs #easteregg #eastercrafts
✨F IS FOR FLOWERS✨ I was torn between FACES a ✨F IS FOR FLOWERS✨ I was torn between FACES and FLOWERS 🌸 so I decided to do a mash-up! As the center, I used one of the most overlooked, perfect upcycled materials: bright and beautiful @playdoh lids! Just in time for all of the spring holidays (oh hi #eastercrafts!), these blooms are so easy and so satisfying to make. And the fact that they stand on their own, they can live as a table centerpiece, on a mantle, or on a bookshelf! (I have to give a shoutout to @artcampla—I saw one of their crafts on Pinterest and it sparked the inspo for this craft. If you like crafts and don’t follow them, go do so now!) #flowercrafts #paperflowers #paperflowers #paperflowercrafts #springcrafts #springcraftsforkids
IMO, mid-winter is the time to throw random partie IMO, mid-winter is the time to throw random parties! #ad There are no big holidays on the immediate horizon and looking outside the window, all we see is brown and gray. Since we had a mid-winter break from school last week, my daughter Sommer and her friends spent an afternoon making bracelets! This party is so easy to plan and prep (thanks to the one-stop shop at @orientaltrading ), the kids love it, and no holiday or birthday is required! Naturally we had to top the afternoon off with cupcakes...and nerds, packaged inside gemstone party favors. Head over to my stories for a free shipping link and discount code! #orientaltrading #OTCpartner

I really loved having this up for the last month…it was a conversation piece, it made us slow down and think about our feelings, and yellow 🟡🟨💛 is my fave color! If you make one, share with #PKprompts ! 🤣😘😊🤪😳

✨D IS FOR DIORAMA✨ When I started this mini #d ✨D IS FOR DIORAMA✨ When I started this mini #diorama craft I pulled out plastic animals and twine and little pebbles. I’m thrilled with a mini landscape any day, really, but I guess my more sentimental chords got the best of me. These are so easy to make and fun to plan! You can even mix in some little props where it works…moss under foot or maybe a moon hanging above. Find some box lids, canned fish containers (yes I do save them occasionally), cheese box lids, or jar caps to use as your containers. I’m ready to fill a wall with these little gems! ✨ (If you’re curious about that lovely paper, I hoard @monpetitart’s #origamipaper)
It’s 🫶🏼 Valentines Day Eve 🫶🏼 and yo It’s 🫶🏼 Valentines Day Eve 🫶🏼 and you may be scrambling to make that card that says it all for your kids, your girlfriend, your man, or maybe your dry cleaner. Here are some projects that all use just paper and sometimes paint! Search Valentines on ProjectKid or DM me for details! I promise I’ll respond (as long as it’s before my bedtime)! ❤️❤️❤️
C IS FOR CARDBOARD (AND COLLECTIONS) This project C IS FOR CARDBOARD (AND COLLECTIONS) This project attempts to solve the over-abundance of two plentiful things in our household: cardboard and stuff my kids collect. There is SO much of both, and sometimes I feel like I’m swimming in it. These little cardboard swings are a cute, and adaptable way to display objects that your kids can’t live without. For extra stability, add glue dots on the back edge so the swings stay flush with the wall. #PKprompts #cardboardcraftsforkids #cardboardcrafts #diykids
✨B IS FOR BOOKS✨ I’m a fan of making books…publishing them with fabulous editors, writing them, coming up with big ideas…and simply crafting ‘em. For week number two of #pkprompts, I turned cereal and cookie boxes into mini books, with pages made from @3m #postitnotes. The steps are so simple and require no nitpicky measuring. It’s only week 2, so I’m still sudsing out the benefits of this weekly exercise. So far, I have fun on the list…
✨A is for ABSTRACT✨ #PKprompts I’m glad I s ✨A is for ABSTRACT✨ #PKprompts I’m glad I started with this one because you only need paint, paper, and a printed photograph. Read these whys and hows before you get started… 1. Print the photo in black and white so you are not distracted by color. 2. Rotate the photo so you stop seeing the picture for what it really is. It’s hard, I know. 3. Don’t use more than 5 paint colors. Assign the colors to the tones in your photo, ranging from white to the darkest tone and mimic that in your painting. 4. Don’t overthink the color palette. Find a frock in your kids’ closet that you like and go with those. Or maybe steal your palette from the book cover next to your bed. 5. Finish it in one sitting. 6. Tape it into a frame after to make it so it feels like real art (because it is)! That’s what I did. 7. Repeat. Flip the photo a different way and do it again. And again. And again. (or not) If you make one and are willing to share, please tag #PKprompts so I can see it!
There is not a single person (notice I didn’t sa There is not a single person (notice I didn’t say creative person because we are ALL creative) that doesn’t suffer from a bump in the road, a block, a total desire to crawl under the covers. Instead of seeking out inspiration from the myriad of sources available to me, I decided to start from scratch and offer up a challenge to myself...and to you, if you so choose to join in. Starting with the letter A, I’m going to post a new craft each week-ish. My plan is that I’m going to choose my word in advance but the making will all happen for the first time here. Yes, the footage will be edited to fit this little 90 second video, but largely the craft will be made and problem-solved in real (and reel) time. Feel free to follow along and share your pics using the hashtag #PKprompts. I want these to be as low-pressure as possible, so you likely have most of the supplies in your own craft stash. Let’s go!
