As summer begins and online classes end, your kids might be looking for something creative to do. As an ex-Art Teacher, I've found that some kids need a little inspiration when given a box-load of raw crafting materials. :)
Here are a few examples of what you and your little crafting buddies can made with your crafting box!
Project One: Pom Pom Animals
What you will need:
- Pom Pom Kit (included)
- Paper (included)
- Glue (not included)
- Marker (not included)
Step One: Open your pom pom kit included in your box and follow the steps 1-3. :)
Step Two: Using your notepad included in your bundle, draw some cute little animal faces
Step Three: Cut the animal faces out and glue (not included) to your pom pom.
Step Four: You now have some cute furry buddies
Project Two: Beaded Wiggle Snakes
What you will need:
- Jewelry Kit (included)
- Pipe Cleaners (not included)
- Glue (not included)
- Googly eyes (not included)
Step One: Tie a knot at the end of your pipe cleaner to make the snake’s tail
Step Two: Using your DGY jewelry kit, thread the beads onto the pipe cleaner, leaving an inch of pipe at the end to create the head
Step Three: With the inch of pipe, fold it over itself to create the snake’s head
Step Four: Using googly eyes (if you’re unlike me and lucky enough to have them in your house- I had to use paper eyes), glue those eyes to your snake’s head
Step Five: Bend your snake into different fun shapes!
Project Three: Stick Wall Hanging
What you will need:
- Yarn (included)
- Sari Fabric (included)
- Beads (included)
- Scissors (not included)
- A Stick (not included)
Step One: Find a stick and clean it :) Do not let your dog steal your stick
Step Two: Using strips of the sari fabric, yarn, and beads from your kit, create a unique wall hanging. In mine, I cut up some sari fabric into strips, added some beads to the yarn, and used some of my favorite yarn that was in my box
Step Three: Tying each end of the stick with some yarn or the sari fabric, create the ‘hook’ to hang your wall hanging
Happy crafting!
