Make It a Mother's Day They'll Remember
Let’s face it, moms, when it comes to preparation and celebration, we are usually the ones to remember the extra touches. This year, give your loved ones a little nudge in the right direction by setting the stage the night before so you can have a little extra me time in the morning. And by handing the responsibility to your children, it gives them a sense of pride knowing they put the smile on your face when they “woke” you up, even if you were always making sure they didn’t burn the house down creating this breakfast in bed!
To help make it the smoothest morning for you and the kids and/or hubby, a little prep work the night before and a gentle reminder note creates a blissful morning. Here at Bindle & Brass, we love lavender, so we had to create these amazing Lavender Pancakes that taste so sweet they barely need syrup, and a fun color-changing tea to hear the kids giggle in delight when it changes from dark blue to lavender. Don’t forget, if you would like to top it off with a little sparkling wine, make sure to put that by the bedside the night before.
Print these directions to help the kiddos with prep:
Think they are too young? Our resident 9-year-old had no problem making them!
And when you finally decide to get out of bed and get dressed, make it a fun day of crafting a beautiful reminder vase of them when they were small. It’s the perfect place to nestle in an amazing arrangement of Bindle & Brass dried naturals.

This simple sun-catching ornament will elevate your Summer Porch. An effortless craft for kids of all ages, easily made outside to enjoy the fabulous weather. We love how the sunlight hits the tulle and illuminates the dried naturals, hung in front of string lights provides the summer nights a warm glow for late-night conversations.
Peeps have been an Easter icon since around the 40’s when it used to take around 27 hours to make one tray, and special ordering was the only way to obtain them. With the rise of machinery in the 50’s, creation time was reduced to only six minutes a tray and could be distributed across America, making it a holiday symbol. Now that we can all enjoy these darlings, we wanted to upgrade one of our faux tulips to see their happy faces on display this Easter.
Create the rainbow this Saint Patrick’s Day and keep it up all year long with this DIY Bohemian dried natural wall hanging. It would make an adorable accent to a nursery, child’s bedroom, or even on the living room wall. Feel the Good Vibes by bringing natural elements into your space.
Macramé wall hangings give you that Boho design style, but some can be time consuming and intricate. This Valentine’s Day, update that wall to chic status with an easy craft filled with items around the house and Bindle & Brass Dried Naturals, some you might even have in your Christmas box. Infuse reds, pinks, lavender, and a little sparkle to elevate the hanging to Valentine’s Day wall décor status. This would even be a fun craft with the girls for a Galentine’s Night DIY project turned party favor.
Halloween is looking a bit different this year but that doesn't mean we can't get into the spooky holiday spirit! One great way to spread some hair-raising cheer and be safe, is by “booing” your friends and neighbors.
What better way to bring in the new school year than by adding some DIY fun to the list? As summer comes to a close, DIY kids crafts will bring the creative spirit back into their lives before the school year begins. We made it easy for you, too!
