Mailbox for Ants
What is this, a mailbox for ants, I hear you ask. This craft requires a lot of creativity to end up well. Use free materials from around the house, an empty container here, some cardboard there, use whatever you can find. The only prerequisites are some imagination!

Magical Tea Set
Great for kids, a magical golden tea set. A part from a gathering trip to the woods, you'll need some felt, needle and thread, glue, and some golden paint. Sand paper could also come in hand to smoothen out those rough edges. While it may need a bit more than the average bitsy craft, it's definitely worth it!

Monster Balloons
Monster Balloons, the perfect thing for a creative birthday party or celebration! Alternatively, they make good pets, just make sure they don't fly away when you take them for a walk. For added liveliness, the balloons should be filled with helium, the slightly difficult thing to come by for this craft.
