Whimsy Smocks

Colorful smocks protect kids' clothes from messy crafts. We adorned these plain canvas aprons with bugs, butterflies, and floral interpretations of the invitation's illustrations. Use scraps of fabric and hot glue or simple stitches to craft these whimsical critters. Looking for inspiration? Try simple outlines from children's coloring books.
