DIY: Bow & Arrow QUIVER!!

I have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Fanatic on my hands, aka Leah. She's obsessed. And by obsessed I mean claiming that she has ninja turtle brothers and a "father" named Master Splinter. I've started to call her "Leahnella". She doesn't like it. Oh well.

Anyways, she got a Rebel Nerf Bow and arrows for her birthday a couple months ago and it never came with a quiver to hold the arrows. So I thought I could probably, easily just make her one. Behold, Pinterest. I found this awesome tutorial on how to do it with an old Pringles can. Here's what I did!

Supplies:

• hot glue gun
• double sided tape (not crucial but I used it as an extra holding mechanism for all that ninja turtle fighting)
• iron
• old Pringles can
• wide ribbon
• measuring tape (not shown)
• can opener (not shown)
• 2 different types of fabric (if desired), enough to cover can

That's it! No sewing!

 

Okay, so first I took my measurements and cut what I needed of the fabrics. My next step was to fold over all the edges of the fabric and iron it down. Then I stick my double sided tape along the width of the Pringles can. Next, I took the can opener and "punched" a whole along the bottom and threaded the ribbon through. Then I started my gluing along the edges of the can!

Ta da!

Next up, I took my second piece of fabric and glued it on, leaving extra at the end to fold in and glue inside as well.

 Almost done!! Just measure the ribbon over your little one's body and glue the ends of the ribbon together! Toss in your arrows and your ready to shoot some targets!!

 Leah's got a hit on Shredder! haha! I could of made the length of the ribbon shorter for her but she insisted it was perfect and she liked it that long. As long as she's happy then I call it a job-well-done!

DIY Sensory Bottle

 

I love Pinterest. I'm a tad obsessed. I open Pinterest before I open Google to look something up. And one of the things that's been on my DIY-to-do-list for forever, is a sensory bottle. Super simple and quick and its new(!!). So, today during nap time I whipped this baby up.

 

You can find how to make them anywhere but here's what I used:
* water bottle
* vegetable oil

* sparkle glue
* beads
* foam stickers
* any character sticks you want to use for outside

* I used packaging tape for the lid, and some decorative tape and twine

It's really super easy and you can replace any of those items for any you want to use. I want to make one for Leah too that she could use for quiet time.

It was a hit for James!
