Life has been hectic, with the house under construction and medical/dental emergencies, plus even less pleasant things… so please excuse the project dump. I’ll try to comment more on others’ projects when things are a little calmer on my end (deep breaths)

Project Name: Swords for Minecraft Birthday Party
Project Link: Minecraft Birthday Party
Brief Description: These took forever to make, but it was so worth it. The kids had so much fun. I cut out 10 cardboard swords using an exacto knife (roughly 6 pieces per sword), then cut out and glued together all the “decorative” paper (too many pieces to count…) Then, for the party, the kids glued the pre-prepared papers onto the cardboard. I hot glued everything together for each kid, and then they had a sword fight
