Hello, DIYers!
The cold weather is coming! With it comes ice and snow. It’s easy to see the downside of that, of course. No one likes shoveling or having to go anywhere in the cold weather. But when you begin making fun with the weather, it seems so much better! Make crafts and snacks or do science experiments with the snow and ice. Give these a try!
Happy crafting!
