Just included your blog on my list of high-profile blogs that feature crafty tutorials, Etsy shops and party ideas. Thanks for allowing other bloggers like me to be included in your blog!
I served these super cool Glow-in-the-Dark drinks to my kids last night and they were a huge hit. (The kids got Sprite, but you could use adult beverages for a grown-up treat too!) All the necessary supplies can be picked up at the Dollar store ~ red plastic party cups, clear plastic tumbler cups, and glow sticks.
$1 and free! My kids and I recycled crayons using the heat of the summer sun. Recycling + sustainable energy + crafting = a kid activity win, in my opinion. :)
Hello,
We just posted some Humpty Dumpty sat on a S’mores and thought we would share them with you. The kids thought that they were hilariou! It’s hard to impress my kids and the kids in the neighborhood since we make so many things…so I knew we had a winner when I noticed how much they were laughing at them and begging for more. They are so silly, but a lot of fun for the kids. Would be great to give out at a school party. Cheap and easy to make so I thought you might like them.
You should check out the Nester – http://www.thenester.com – she’s got a plastic spoon wreath!!! I loved it when I saw it this morning, 7/11/11. You might want to link to her.
Hi! I came here through My Craft Channel and just loved the blog. I’ve already added it to my fave blogs on crafts and will probably spend hours browsing the wide range of crafts you’ve posted. Am so glad I’ll be able to see you on My Craft Channel. Best wishes!
This is an old craft my mom taught me. Cost of material about $1 or maybe $0 – if you happened to have them in hand. Short piece of clear plastic tube, rags or yarn or anything else – sand? beads? – some oil -that’s it! For adult or kids too!
I love “Dollar Store Crafts” but I do not like your new format. Why do people always change things when there was nothing wrong with it in the first place?

Why do you have a “Submit” tab when there’s nothing here that lets me submit an actual how-to, just Comments?
