DIY Metal Cap Toe Boots

Have you heard of Boo hoo?  They're an online clothing retailer that's popular in Europe and recently started branching out in the US.  A couple of months ago they sent me a pair of Mya Buckle Trim Biker Boots to use in a DIY craft.  At first I wanted to add a ton of studs to them... but the studs got lost in the mail.

Home Depot Free Kids Workshop

Did you know that Home Depot and Lowe's offer free kids' DIY classes?  Yup!  Home depot offers kids classes every first Saturday and Lowe's offers free kid clinics.  (Btw- the Lowe's class is this week!)  All you have to do is go online and sign up.

Will my cold ever go away? Boo.)

First they hammered the parts together. (Yes, they used a real hammer! Whoa!).  Chuck was so cute because he told me that Daddy "helped him to hammer."  Then, they decorated it with stickers.
