Guest Post – Mel from Mellywood’s Mansion
Happy Thursday everyone!
Today I have a real treat for you… my first guest poster… the marvelous Mel from Mellywood’s Mansion. It’s so great to have her here today, sharing one of her fabulous projects.
It’s all yours Mel.
Hey there Thrifty Rebels,
I’m Mel from Mellywood’s Mansion and I am so happy to be here today sharing a little Easter fun. If you stick with me I’m also going to solve one of the greatest mysteries in time – I promise!
So I was a little unsure what to do for this post, so I got out my most rebellious shoes and got thinking.
I decided on an Easter theme. I love Easter but I hate that my 5 kids end up sick from eating far too many chocolates, so I thought I would give them something to do and made a Tic Tac Toe board.
Supplies:
Fabric
Canvas
Ribbon
Hot Glue
Game Pieces
Buttons (Optional)
I started by hot gluing the fabric down, then added the ribbons.
For the game pieces I used some eggs and chicks I found at our local cheap store.
Then I was shocked when my almost 15 year old son decided that he wanted to play with me. I wasn’t sure if he would understand the concept of a game without a screen…but he got there, bless him!
Thanks again Mel!
