Hello crafty friends. I’m all about stretching your supplies and I wanted to find another use for the plush dies from Simon Says Stamp. Since the dies cut an outline border of holes that is intended for stitching, I thought they would make great lacing cards for kids to practice their fine motor skills…<\/p>\n
\nI die-cut the ice cream plush die using chipboard and some patterned paper from THIS<\/a> pad. I used THIS<\/a> to adhere the paper and seal it. My son has some store bought lacing cards that I used the laces from but you could use shoe laces or any type of string you want. One thing to note is I did use a hole punch to make the holes a little larger so the string would slide in easily.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nFor the bottom of the cones, I applied THIS<\/a> ink on top and then spritzed on some water to resemble drops of melting ice cream.<\/p>\n \nI think these would be fun for any kid! Speaking of kids…<\/p>\n \nSimon Says Stamp hosted a Kid’s Challenge HERE<\/a>. The theme was Anything Goes with Glitter. My niece was SO excited to join in on the fun….<\/p>\n \nHere’s her glitter project…<\/p>\n \nShe used THIS<\/a> glitter to add to the fruit of THIS<\/a> set….<\/p>\n \nThe contest has now ended but I encourage you to let your kids join in on the creative fun!<\/p>\n Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!<\/p>\n LINKS TO SUPPLIES USED: <\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
