The other day I was asked to babysit my neighbor's kids. I could only throw a frisbee for so long so I had them make crafts. One of the things we made was these magazine roll coasters. They are super easy: cut the magazine page into quarters, fold them, glue them, and roll them. And there you have it- above are the fruits of child labor for your eyes :P
The most creative moments when we have to do with children!!!

awww aaah love the irony of using Cosmo magazines for children's DIY crafts ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun idea! I will make those if I can't find perfect ones on my own ;) xoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and very ingenious for last minute child-minding! :)
ReplyDeletewow its so creative!! love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThat s genius! I would love to know what other things you guys made :)
ReplyDeleteTim "The Tool Man" Taylor would roll up the entire magazine and cut sections with a power saw--and make a terrible mess. :)
ReplyDeletePS--It's always great to see you smiling.
What a great idea! I'm actually going to try this :) And I love the tea set, that's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHahaha I just think it's hilarious that you brought an issue of Cosmo for the kids to make magazine coasters with. Did they ask questions about the content? :P Seriously though, crafts are great for keeping children occupied.
ReplyDeleteHahaha I was totally going to post about the Cosmo + babysitting also. XD too funny. Neat idea with the coasters though!
ReplyDeletewow! amazing idea! I shall probably make this next week, for a coffee brunch!
ReplyDeleteThat's so creative and a great way to distract the children. :D
ReplyDeletethis is so cool! i have a ton of magazines i can use for this! ;)

"Fruits of child labor" is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteYou are really good to come up with craft work on the spot for these kids. They have certainly done a good job!
Wow great! :)

Creative! Do you have any idea how to make a woven (square) basket with magazine strips or paper? From scratch rather than covering a box with paper?
