Diamond Painting Kits 5D DIY Full... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K1WDJ2B?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I got it from amazon, sold by adarl. There are quite a few more designs in the link but i think the rest are partial drill, though they still look like they'd be worth doing. I wish i could find more with rhinestones, they catch the light so much more, but this is the only seller I've seen that makes them.

Heres the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HEPIXZW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_NsLVAbSQ1Y3VS

Personally, I might paint these:

Also, this organizing kit is a must have! There are all the necessary tools+ extras. So very handy.

It was a sticky picture and you place the colored plastic dots in their designated spots, kind of like a paint-by-numbers kind of thing. This is not the same one, but it was like this one on Amazon.

I'll add to this as I find things!


For both of them:

I'm aiming for both of them in these because summer is coming! You mentioned not really having a yard so these could be "park only" toys. Stuff to get them outside and keep them active during summer break!

These are for both of them as well since they both enjoy art ❤️



I recently did one of these Diamond art things, it's time consuming and relaxing! There are quite a few other designs to choose from as well!



I was gifted these and they are amazing! If a mistake is made it's super easy to fix it because these are so flexable!




And this or something similar because Rylee enjoys singing

I use Little Windows molds and make resin pendants, but I'm pretty sure this is just a glass tile that she/he glued the leaves/paper onto. I would think that if it was resin he/she would have said that instead of "glass".

I don't do anything as cool as that. My usual go-to trick is to use these kind of glass gems that are meant for filling vases and such to represent various things around the world.

I use sticky tack and small mirrors you can find at craft stores or amazon.

Mail just came! I've got 2 new ones to work on :)
My first was Winter Tree. So I got the Autumn Tree which I also liked.
And found a cool looking Gold Peacock

Studs or spikes are always a fun way to add shine that are "devilish".

Mirror squares are also a bit more unique too.

Disc sequins are a fun alternative to regular little sequins.

And one of the cheapest options, cut up old Mardi Gras beads, individual beads are pretty shiny when paired with other embellishments.

Edit: formatting

No! They have saved so much time for me when it comes to big blocks of the same color :)

I have the same larger white boat. I got mine on amazon in a kit with lots of other DP tools and wax. Here is the link. Hope this helps!

Broken glass.

your in luck, I'm looking at 4 arduinos right now and literally just did some arduino coding yesterday :).

So I actually used something like these for color changing leds,

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11450

Basically you just give them power and they change automatically. I gave them paper wings but that's not necessary. So what I would do is get a bunch of those and wire them up on some fishing wire. Not sure if that would be ideal though, hmmm.

Regarding motor, you can use anything really. Here's one,

But I'd honestly stay away from motors to start, it makes it too complicated. At least a motor with strings, because it's fragile and you have to worry about people touching them.

Another very cool effect is bouncing laser pointers off of mirrors. You can do some cool stuff with a laser pointer and a package of these http://www.amazon.com/Round-Mirror-Craft-Projects-Mosaics/dp/B0028BVL2A/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1416102750&sr=8-12&keywords=small+mirror.
