• MOPs Crafts

  I’m a member of our church’s Mothers of Preschoolers group (MOPs)
  As the craft coordinator, I get to challenge myself to come up with crafts that cost $3 or less per person and take 25 minutes or less to complete.  A bit of a challenge sometimes, but I’ve gotten some good ideas. I’m going to start posting my example crafts, in case any of you would like to do a cheap easy craft sometime!

  
  Lunchboxes: Cost $1, plus the cost of ribbon – which we hot glued on. Took about 10 minutes!
  

  Notepads-5 for $1, plus the cost of scrapbook paper/cardstock to cover the notepads and ribbon.  We folded scrapbook paper over to cover entire notepad and glued it to the cardboard backing.  (we used Tacky glue) We tucked a ribbon between the paper and the cardboard before gluing and wrapped it around front to act as a tie closure.  They were cheap and easy- I did 5 of these in 25 minutes.  You could also attach magnetic strips to the back, if you wanted fridge notes.
