The milkweed Plant is indigenous to the area in which I live—the midwest. I’ve used the dried pods to create lovely wreaths easily & at minimal cost. Only the dried up, spent pods are used so no Monarch Butterflies or their caterpillars are harmed because of this craft.
This simple coffee filter flower wreath is perfect for most occasions. Simply change the colors for a theme. Red & Green for Christmas. Pink or blue for baby shower. Red, blue and white for the Fourth of July. Brown and orange for ThanksGiving and fall. Red for Valentine’s Day …
Babies don’t need big fancy toys to keep them entertained. Often something small to hold and snuggle with will do the trick. Make your baby a soft and colorful tag blanket (blankie). The little tags of ribbon around the sides of the blankie will give your baby something to play with while he falls asleep and the fleece will feel soft against his skin. Tag blankies also make a great inexpensive homemade baby shower gift.
