So…How do you stock your arts and crafts cupboard..!? or do you actually have one?
As a Mum of one it’s a question I’m asked a lot. So I decided this would be the perfect
time to post a small ‘guide’ to the 15 essential items you should have to hand
in your craft supply cupboard to keep the kids (or you) crafting any time of day or night.
If you’ve never considered it was necessary to set up an
arts and crafts cupboard I urge you to think again. It is actually an intimidating
and daunting task.
What supplies do you need? Where is the cheapest place to
find those supplies (it’s and expensive business if you don’t go prepared you
get sucked in to that impulse buy) and really how much stuff do you really need
to carry out the easiest of craft projects?
Being well-stocked with art
supplies in my opinion is essential and has saved me from a few embarrassing
situations on more than one occasion.
For example when you’ve forgotten to get a birthday card
for a party the next day or like me for Valentine’s Day this year I FORGOT!! to
get my daughter a rose and ended up making one from construction paper, pipe cleaners and tissue paper at 1am the night
before. Thank goodness for Martha Stewarts idea board.
So in a nutshell being prepared makes it a thousand times easier to get
crafty with you kids and to help you in your quest I came up with a list of 'THE' 15
essential art supplies you will need to keep your cupboard so you are ready for
pretty much any idea your budding artists come up with.
