May 17, 2012 By 2 Comments

When your husband loves something as much as Ashley‘s husband loves playing the guitar, it would make sense that he would want to share it with his children. Steve a.k.a Mister Make It and Love It, made these brilliant cardboard guitars for his two elder kids to strum on while he got out his own guitar. With rubber bands stretched across the body and neck, these guitars make enough sound to get your kids rocking and rolling all night long.

Ashley and Steve have been generous enough to supply the templates for the guitars along with full instructions on how to make your own cardboard guitars on the Make It and Live It site

If I have kids, I am so getting them one of these.
