Here is my shave ice stand tutorial. Mine still needs some paint on the top and on the dowels. You can take the roof off and put up a piece of paper to make a banner across the top.
A tip that I should mention:
You might want to use felt that matches the placemat you use for the roof.

Kanani craft!
I love the new shave ice stand. One of my favorite parts? The shave ice! This was a brainstorm that my mom and I had. We wanted to make something that looked like the shave ice so we thought about plastic. After thinking about different ways to make these we decided on hot glue. It's cheap and easy.
All you need is a colored plastic bag to look like the flavored syrup, hot glue, a hot glue gun, a ball/marble to make it the right shape, scissors.
You can use screw on tops to be the cups. Things like soda bottle tops, milk tops, and orange juice tops work pretty good.
You can use a white bag for ice without the flavoring.
These are so fun and easy to make.
Here is the video I did for the directions. I hope you like it.

American Girl Atlanta
Here is a video of our trip to American Girl Atlanta. We went for our birthdays. I got Ivy and my sister got Ruthie. It was really fun and the sales people were really nice. There was a ton to do in Atlanta. If you visit the Atlanta store you may want to check out Stone Mountain and the aquarium while you're in town. We were there for a few days and we got to go to all three places. There are some other places that we didn't have time to visit but it was a super fun trip.
Sugar Cookies - Perfect for Valentine's Day
My little sister did this video on how to make sugar cookies with felt, glue, and glitter.
If you want them to be more sturdy and take less time to dry you can use a hot glue gun. Put the hot glue on the cookies like icing. Then sprinkle the glitter on.

Toasty Marshmallows on a stick!
Another item to add to your campfire... marshmallows on a stick!
You'll need some foam marshmallows from the craft store and a few twigs from your yard. You can glue them on if you want them to stay on. My mom cut some with a razor and I cut some with scissors.

Tasty treats for your campfire!
What would a campfire be without s'mores?
You'll need some foam sheets, scissors, and glue dots or a hot glue gun! That's it.
