ABOUT US

Mini Mad Things is created by Mum, designer and craft enthusiast,

Eleanor Ford.

If I had to introduce myself in one word, I would say I am a maker.

I grew up in a house where we made things. We learnt to sew and to knit; to saw, hammer and build. My Mum baked bread every day and we grew vegetables. We learnt to fix broken things. We were resourceful. All of these skills made me who I am and ignited my love for craft. This passion for making is something I would like to pass on to my children and to others; it is the reason for creating

MINI MAD THINGS.

As well as creating all the fun kids craft project ideas here on our blog, we also sell a range of CRAFT BOXES, BOOKS and ECO ART SUPPLIES. Head this way to BROWSE our SHOP!

Thank you for visiting.

Embroidered decorations

These lovely wooden discs make excellent bases for kids to embroider. The wood gives a firm surface with large holes and is easy for children to handle. These discs are available from our website as part of our EMBROIDERY & JEWELLERY craft box or sold individually HERE.

We used our embroidered discs to make pretty decorations to hang on our Christmas tree.

MATERIALS:

Wooden embroidery discs
A selection of different coloured yarns and think cord
Wooden beads
Pipe cleaners (optional)
Tapertry needle
Scissors

HOW TO:

Set out an inviting selection of coloured yarn and wooden beads. We used tapestry needles which have a rounded tip so there was no chance of pricked fingers! Let your little ones begin their embroidery. I found that my little one (age 3) could manage the activity but did end up in a bit of a tangle! So this activity is probably best suited for 4+ age range.
