I love to be artsy and craftsy, but I lack inspiration. I need someone that is willing to tell me what to make. Sort of like when I was in college and taking my art classes. I wasn’t a bad artist, but I always did better with an assignment rather than just a free form task. I’m sort of a non-creative creative person.
Anyway, Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores has a great Cape Discovery section that promotes kid-friendly craft projects for the summer. At my location Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store it was right up front so you couldn’t miss it. You can also go on-line and look at the crafts in the spring catalog to get some ideas. I decided to try the ombre dyed t-shirts because I really liked the look of them. Of course I couldn’t leave well enough alone, but decided to try mixing the ombre effect with a more traditional tie dye look. I think I came up with a pretty cute blend of the two.
Jo-Ann’s has a ton of great ideas for summer. I know my sister-in-law and her children would love them. They are super creative and crafty. I can’t wait to hear which craft you pick.
Please feel free to pin and repin my craft using the hashtag #summerofjoann. If my craft gets the most repins I have a chance to win $100 Jo-Ann gift card!.
I’m also one that lacks inspiration. This shirt turned out really cute!!

Very cute! Ombre meets Tie Dye.
I like that! I can never think of DIY projects to do on my own, I always need a little help from a kit or magazine or something like that.

I love me some tie dye! I need to make a trip to Jo Ann’s!
I’m not very crafty (I used to be)… maybe that’s my problem I lack inspiration. I pinned it!

Now this is a craft right up my ally 🙂 Our new house is close to a JoAnn’s so I’m always puttering about in there. Good luck and I used the hashtag.

I miss JoAnn’s and Michaels and stores like that. There aren’t any here just dedicated to crafting (that I’ve discovered so far anyway….) Love that they have a section – might have to have my mom go and scope it out for me for summer stuff for the kiddos!!! Your project came out super! Red looks so good on your boy!

I am not much of a crafter either! But luckily my kids are more creative than me, so we still manage. The shirt looks great!

I’ll have to check that section out. My daughter has WAY too much time on her hands and I need to get her busy with some new projects! I’m like you in the ‘lacking inspiration’ dept.
