3 Family-Friendly Summer Crafts
Once a month, our friends, Craft Box Girls, go live on our Facebook page to teach viewers some fun crafts featuring one of our glues! This month, Lynn taught viewers how to make 3 family-friends Summer crafts using not one, but THREE Beacon glues! She walked us through how to make an ombre mason jar, kids stencil art and a wood letter monogram. These crafts are super simple to make and we love that the whole family can get involved. Follow along below to learn how to make these three crafts yourself. Let’s get started!
