Sundays With Sephora – Red Velvet Polka Dot Cake
This project was almost entirely done by Sephora. Although it isn’t Sunday we just couldn’t hold off on her post. Every time I went to “step in” she kept insisting “I got this”… I did help her frost the cake though. So how did she do it? We saw a version of this on Pinterest here. We figured we would give it a shot. My kids love red velvet cake – me, not so much. To me it has a funny after taste but whatever – I don’t need the cake anyway. I cared about the project. We have one of these cake ball pans – I have only used it…

Sundays With Sephora – Recycled Denim Bag
As part of Sephora’s sewing/designing fun she decided to cut up an old pair of jeans and make a bag/front facing set of pockets that can also be worn on her back. See the book of scrapbook paper on the floor? She tired of that really quickly and switched to sewing. Don’t judge me on my craft/sewing room. It is an organized mess and the kids are allowed to help themselves to anything except my sewing machine/serger. They can use those only with my close supervision. It is kind of like when I used to play the piano – as soon as I tickle those ivories they come running and…

Sundays With Sephora – Making a Tic Tac Toe Board
This is a really easy project – as you can see, Sephora is doing it all by herself. She used a canvas board – the nonCanvas side. Decorated it with washi tape. Used pink and clear glass beads from Michaels as the pieces.

Sundays With Sephora – Colorful Music
I love any project that I can use my Frappuccino bottles for. Sometimes I take the labels off – sometimes not. This was a spur of the moment project – no time to remove them and I like the look with them on anyway. This was a great project for Sephora. She learned about sound and how to make different sounds with water. And she learned about color and how to mix colors to make different colors. She also learned how the bottles sounded different with the caps on versus off. She had a great time and played his “instruments” for a long time. (I am not sure why the…

Sundays With Sephora – Psychedelic Cookies
I made up a batch of regular old Betty Crocker Sugar cookie mix and split it into four bowls. Sephora took over from there. She added one color of four different neon food colorings to each bowl – basically creating four bowls resembling playdough. Then she started mixing up different amounts from each bowl and plopping the mixtures down on a greased cookie sheet. What kid wouldn’t like these? She made sure to make one very large one for herself – the extra special cookie. I was making supper while she was doing the cookies and I totally lost sight of the fact that I didn’t take a picture of…

Sundays With Sephora – Easter Bag
I bought these cheap hand towels from the Target dollar section figuring Sephora and I could make pillows out of them. However, she had different plans. She wanted an Easter bag for her Easter eggs. It doesn’t have handles but that is what she wanted. She couldn’t just fold the towel in half because the chick and grass would have been upside down. So she cut it in half, hemmed the cut edge and re-sewed the towel into a bag. Just the way she wanted. This was her first sewing project – I ran the pedal but she came up with the bag idea and ran the fabric through the…

Sundays With Sephora
Welcome to Sundays with Sephora. I am not sure if this will be a weekly post or some other schedule but it will be on Sundays (actually posted on Saturday but for Sunday email delivery). Sephora loves working with paper – writing, cutting, glueing, using the Cricut, scraps etc… This is a card she made for my mom (her meme) in Colorado. Keep in mind she does not run any spelling questions through me and she is such a perfectionist so she went crazy with whiteout. I merely supervise to make sure she doesn’t cut her fingers off with the Fiscar cutter. She basically used precut items from Michaels’ Crafts,…
