Links of the Week: Dollar Store Crafts, Not Martha, and More
by Kristen Sturt on Jun 23, 2011 | 04:52 PM

DollarStoreCrafts.com
Every Thursday, Grandparents.com brings you our Links of the Week, a short roundup of fun, useful, and reputable websites specific to your interests. Share them with your grandchildren, or keep them all for yourself. Enjoy!

Dollar Store Crafts
Crafting can be expensive. Creative endeavors like scrapbooking, crocheting, and baking require pricey supplies that can have a real impact on your budget, especially when you're stocking up so grandkids can create with you. Enter Dollar Store Crafts, a blog dedicated to crafts that are "cheap, chic, and easy to do." From stylish Pebble Mats to easy Alphabet Bean Bags, grandchildren of all ages will find creative inspiration for just about a buck.

Enchanted Learning
This easy-to-navigate site is full – FULL – of cute and convenient craft ideas, the majority of them suitable for young children and complete with supply lists and large-print, illustrated, step-by-step instructions.

Not Martha
It’s easy to admire Martha Stewart's crafts, recipes, and general décor, but it’s pretty darn difficult to replicate them at home. Seattle blogger Megan knows this, and has dedicated the last ten years to writing about simple and attractive projects for folks who aren't, well, Martha. We especially loved her pretty Flower Pancakes.
