Pom Pom String Tree Craft and Amazon's Creative Galaxy Season 2

PomPomTreeDone4_650
Hi everyone! I hope you enjoyed the extra long Labor Day weekend, I know we did! Today I have a fun craft to share with you in celebration of Amazon's Season 2 of the Creative Galaxy cartoon! What I love about this cartoon is that each episode highlights a different creative medium, such as painting, music, sculpting, cooking, etc. My daughter and I love to do crafts together and I love that I can plan crafts for us to do that go along with each episode. 

A Little More Info About Creative Galaxy
Creative Galaxay Key Art
Creative Galaxy, from Out of the Blue Enterprises (Super Why!, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood), is a “make-along, create-along” animated art adventure series that celebrates creative thinking through crafts, story, music, and dance. 

The series follows the adventures of Arty and his silly side-kick Epiphany, as they travel around the galaxy to solve problems using many different forms of art. Each episode highlights a unique creative medium (painting, music, sculpting, cooking, etc.) to reinforce to kids that art is all around us in many different forms. The interactive stories and live action segments encourage young viewers at home to get excited about their own creative ideas and the process of using creative arts to solve problems! 

And the second season is kicking off with twice the fun. Season 2 features 11 brand-new, two-part episodes with 24 live action craft segments – and many famous friends! Brooke Shields, Jason Priestly, Samantha Bee, Lisa Loeb, Donovan Patton and Cloris Leachman are just some of celebrities who lend their voices to characters who appear throughout the show.

Now, I'd love to share with you how to create a Pom Pom String Tree! I was inspired to create this craft after watching the trailer for the cartoon.

How to Create a Pom Pom String Tree
PomPomTreeDone4
You probably won't need to run out to the store to buy items for this craft, most of these you should have around the house. 


PomPomTreeDone2
I know it is the fall right now, but I was going for a colorful 'blooming' tree. If you want to make this more of a fall craft, you could buy some orange paper for the top of the tree and then buy some pom poms in fall colors. It really is all up to your own imagination! :)


PomPomTree1
Here is what you'll need:
Pom Poms in 2 Different Sizes
Brown and Green String
Craft Paper in Brown and Green
Poster Board
Glue
Scissors
Tape


PomPomTree2 PomPomTree3
Find a round object in your house, such as a small bowl. Trace around the bowl on your poster board to draw the 'top' part of the tree. To draw the trunk of the tree, I traced around a ruler.


PomPomTree4 PomPomTree6
Cut the top and bottom parts of the tree out with scissors. Then, trace around these pieces on your craft paper and cut those pieces out.


PomPomTree7 PomPomTree8
Now you'll want to glue the pieces together and also glue the trunk to the top of the tree.


PomPomTree9 PomPomTree11
Now, we'll wrap the trunk with brown string! Tape one end of the string to the back of the trunk and wrap the string around the trunk until it is completely covered. Cut the string and tape it to the back side.


PomPomTree12 PomPomTree13
Repeat this process with the green string for the top of the tree.


PomPomTreeDone5
The last part is where you will glue the pom poms all over the top of the tree to represent blooms! This part is a lot of fun!

I hope you enjoyed this craft! Be sure to check out the trailer for Creative Galaxy by clicking HERE.

5 Ways to Bring Spring Into Your Home

The weather here in St. Louis has gone from 70 degrees to tornado watches/warnings and now to possible snow/ice this weekend. Whew! I am SO ready for Spring and for Daylight Saving Time. Today I'm sharing with you how to bring Spring to your home sooner with 5 Ways To Bring Spring Into Your Home . Bringing a little Spring into your home is rather easy. You don't need to change up your entire decor, at least not yet... What I try to do is add little touches here and there. 1. Spring Wreaths One way that I bring Spring into my home is by placing a Spring wreath on my front door or on some of the interior doors in the home. My absolute favorite Spring wreath that I've done is my Split Pea Wreath below, but I'm currently working on a Tulip wreath which I'll be sharing in a couple of weeks! I'm also sharing a couple of other Spring wreaths that I've made below: Split Pea Wreath with Burlap Bow Some other Spring wreaths I've designed:   Simple Spring Hoop Wrea...

Thankful Tree #PAWsomeGifts #ClausAndPaws

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser, MARS Incorporated. All opinions are mine alone. #PAWsomeGifts #ClausAndPaws #CollectiveBias This Thanksgiving, I wanted to do something special for our cat, Rose. I have a Thanksgiving light up tree that I put up every year, but I wanted to turn it into a 'thankful tree' to appreciate our cat. I created some leaves for the tree that we could hang up on it every time Rose did something good. If Rose earned 5 leaves on the tree, we would fill her  Temptations® Snacky Mouse  with her favorite treats from MARS Pet at Walmart . If she was bad, we would take a leaf away... Rose tends to 'sneak' into our garage at times when I'm loading it up with the kids backpacks in the morning or unloading groceries. So, the thankful tree is to encourage good behavior and to show her that we appreciate her and are thankful for her good behavior! Shop for Rewards for your Cat   I visited my local Walmart store...
