cue the beastie boys


I put the buttons on the table and passed out the gloves; the rest was crafty magic. I think I need to invite this kind of creativity, and mess, again. The kids are still talking about it.

{It's Wordless Wednesday, yo.}
Edited to add: Here's directions to two of the patterns, off of the Martha Stewart website.

You are crafty - I was also thinking of "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" but pretty sure you're not traveling.

Super fun idea; totally impressive Mom work.

Crafts! Yeah, they do love it don't they, but can someone invent something that could keep them busy for more than 10 minutes.
Oh, that's right- it's called TV!

OK...my granddaughter would love this. Do you have instructions? Great WW post.
My daughter saw this on Martha Stewart when she was sick with the flu and fell in love.

I finally made good on my promise and we made them with an extra buddy, another 7 year-old boy.

I cut the gloves for the boys, but the rest, seriously, I had them do themselves. Even when they whined. And they turned out great.

(I did help with the buttons. They were tough.)

Here's a link to the book:

Lexi has since made a panda and a bunny.

Superfun.

That's SOOOOO Awesome. Did Martha say what these were cuz usually she would post the "how-to" on her site, then we wouldnt have to buy the book :) I want to do this!!!! This could be HOURS of fun! Way to go mom, you rock!

Ok Beastie Boys: is it:
"Brass Monkey. That Funky Monkey. Brass Monkey Junky, that funky Monkey." Was it "Me & the boys were drinkin' brass monkey?" :)
