Max Your Tax Cash * Movie Night Craft

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser, Walmart Family Mobile. All opinions are mine alone. #YourTaxCash #CollectiveBias



How do you max your tax cash? We decided to use the Walmart Family Mobile plan to get the most out of our tax return. With the leftover money, we were able to spend some extra money on family time including some travel and regular movie nights at home will tons of snack, treats and drinks.

We are loving the Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan and the Samsung Galaxy On5 phone we got for it. My college kids are loving it too. They have been texting me regularly and taking advantage of the 10GB of data (includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE† data then 2G.). My daughter and I Snapchat each other regularly, pin to our Pinterest boards and play games too.





Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan and the Samsung Galaxy On5 phone are such a great value. The price of the phone is so affordable. The mobile PLUS plan not only gives us great coverage in our area it provides hours of data for only $49.88 per month, per line. The Samsung Galaxy On5 is at the the Rollback price of $69 (see below.) 

A few things to know about the Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan

  • Unlimited* Talk, Text, & Data which *includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE then 2G and a free movie credit on VUDU every month ($7 value) for $49.88 per month, per line.
  • Plan includes a free VUDU movie credit every month, $7 value (same as a new release rental) per line
  • Just pick a phone or Bring Your Own, and get your SIM Kit for only $19.88.

Let's talk about Movie Nights!


With our free movie rental at VUDU and the money we saved from using the Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan, we are hosting regular movie nights each week at our house.  We stream our movies with our Chromecast. With everyone on the sofa, chairs and floor watching the movies spills tend to happen so I came up with this fun idea for everyone who joins us.  It's a Movie Snack Caddy to hold your drink, popcorn and snacks! 


Supplies:
  • 1 new plastic (cleaning supply) caddy per person
  • 1 plastic popcorn box per person
  • craft glue (super glue works great)
  • assorted gems, stickers and other embellishments
  • all the drinks, snacks and treats you want!


This could be a fun activity before the movie. Everyone can decorate their own movie snack caddy. Simply glue your embellishments to the caddy and plastic popcorn box. Allow the glue to dry. If you have older kids like me we used super glue which dries in seconds. 




 The great thing about the Movie Snack Caddy is that you can use them every time you have a movie night.

What are you planning to do with your extra cash and your free movie rental?

A Rose for Your Belle * Felt Rose Craft

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies. I love the new live action version of it. The casting was wonderful, the music was amazing and the story true to the original animated version of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. If you love the movie too you will love to make one of these beautiful enchanted roses to wear. It can easily be made into a rose hair clip or a pin. It can be sized up or down.

 1. Gather your supplies. You will need to following items.
  • Quality craft felt. Here is a great assortment of colors.
  • Glue Gun and glue sticks.
  • Good quality scissors. We use the Fiskars Non-stick Detail Scissors.
  • Safety pin, metal hair clip or metal pin back.
  • Complimentary of color crochet thread and needle.
2. Fold the red piece of wool felt to cut out a square.

3. Cut out felt rose starting with the outside edge moving inward to the center. Cut in a wavy uneven line to add interest to your rose petals.

4. Cut out a 2-inch circle of green felt. Cut out another green circle of felt about 1/4 inch larger. Cut out two leafs free style about 2 1/2 inches long and 1 inch at the base.

5. Using the smaller green circle glue starting in the center of the felt circle the center of the red petal felt. Continue to glue the red petal felt in a circle around moving outward until the end of the felt is reach to form the complete rose.

6. At the base of the green leaves pinch together and glue in place to add dimension to the leaves. Next, glue leaves to the bottom of the rose then top with large green felt circle.
