Inexpensive Holiday Crafting

by Nicole Comeaux, owner of Grocery Getters, LLC. www.grocerygettersllc.com

Looking for something fun to do with your kids over the Thanksgiving holiday but don’t want to spend much or anything at all? Look to your local library! The Main Branch on Congress is hosting some crafts the weeks the children are on break for Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year. All you have to do is register the child/children.
Here’s another great idea for some fun crafts: Oriental Trading. They usually sell packs of crafts by the classroom size but if you got together with a couple of friends or neighbors the cost would be extremely affordable for all involved. Sometimes I visit the site just for craft ideas and find what I can around the house to create them without having to spend a penny. Maybe you and your friends can look through the site and find something you all can create together by pooling your craft supplies. Oh, the possibilities!! Oriental Trading is also having a $500 gift card give-away right now that you can enter everyday to win. If your family loves crafts that would be a fabulous win!!
Another site I love is About.com. there is a wealth of ideas on that site for crafts that can be done with household items if you are strapped for cash or you just want to teach your children how to be extremely resourceful.
These are just a few of my thoughts. If you have something you use for inspiration please share!
Happy Crafting!!
