Page corner bookmarks. This project comes to you at the request of Twitterer @GCcapitalM.
I used to believe that a person could never have too many books, or too many bookmarks. Then I moved into an apartment slightly larger than some people’s closets (and much smaller than many people’s garages) and all these beliefs got turned on their naïeve little heads. But what a person can always look for more of is really cool unique bookmarks. Placeholders special enough for the books that are special enough to remain in your culled-out-of-spacial-necessity collection. Page corner bookmarks are cute, practical and deeply under-represented in the world.* They’re easy to make, easy to customize, and will set you apart from all those same-same flat rectangular bookmarks. If you like this tutorial, here are a couple others that might be up your alley. For the monster-loving adults in the room, try some googly-eyed paper monster wine charms. Baglyos-papírgurigás mobil. Teljesen biztos vagyok abban, hogy már nagyon hiányzott nektek egy újabb gurigás ötlet. :-) Ez a mostani mondjuk nem az a kimondottan villámgyors dolog, de annál kedvesebb - a mi Kisebbikünk azonnal nagy rajongójává vált, és sok-sok percen át képes figyelni.
Az ötlet eredete megint csak egy nagyon kedvező árú beszerzés volt: az egyik kreatív webáruházban 50 Ft/db áron lehetett venni kis baglyokat, gondolom, készletkisöprés okán. Nagyon helyes kis baglyok voltak, szépen kidolgozva, rokonszenves ábrázattal, úgyhogy mindenképpen szert kellett tennem jó néhányra... :-) Amikor megérkeztek a kis baglyok, rögtön éreztem, hogy az ilyen helyes kismadarak valami különleges felhasználást igényelnek. Úgyhogy arra gondoltam, mindegyik saját kis házat kap, a házakból pedig egy felakasztható mobil készül majd, ami minden bizonnyal nagyon szépen fog mozogni, ha légáramlat éri. Először is fogtam jó néhány darab vécépapír-gurigát, és lefestettem őket különböző színűekre. Two crafts...one post! Both of these crafts are made of paper.nothing else.you have paper don't ya?
Yes. so...keep your kids hands busy with one or both of these today.:) craft #1 cut a bunch of green patterned paper (or you could use plain green) into skinny strips. i used a paper cutter.but you could use scissors. then i cut some of the strips into smaller sizes.... all different lengths. then start stacking them. random order..random pattern...biggest at the bottom....all the way up to the smallest.
DIY Scratch Off Tickets! I love scratch off tickets, always have.
I remember begging my parents to let me scratch off theirs when I was little. Now that I'm an adult I can't think of something more fun to receive with an order than a scratch off card with a coupon code so I decided to make some of my own for Circus Bear Vintage. I designed these simple cards in photoshop then had them printed with Overnight Prints.
To make your own scratch off tickets you'll need; dish soap (any brand should do, but if you're curious I'm using Ajax) acrylic paint (any color and brand of your choice) paint brush packing tape painters tape scrap paper Let's get started! 1 // Prepare your mixture. Raising Sparks Raising Sparks. Here is one of those easy craft activities for kids that uses the technique of blow painting to bring the world of micro-organisms to life!
At a certain age, usually around the threes to fours, I find that Little Sparks become obsessed by the notion of ‘germs’. I guess this partly arises from their recent graduation from nappies and the urgency with which parents suddenly try to drill the notion of ‘hand washing’ into their children. In fact, I’ve often used this activity so that Little Sparks can make ‘reminder’ posters for the bathroom door! It occurs to me that we frequently ask Little Sparks to believe in things they cannot see – Santa Claus, The Tooth Fairy, Angels – to name but a few, quickly spring to mind. Regardless of whether we actually believe such things exist there is no shortage of visual representations of them. You Are Your Words - AHD.
Cherry Blossom Paintings. My Grade 7 class recently finished these cherry blossom paintings as part of our "Japanese Art" unit.
I absolutely adore cherry blossom paintings- I think they're very stylish and feminine. I also love anything Japanese related, so I really enjoy teaching this unit. And believe it or not, the blossoms are just finishing up here where I live. Yes, in June. We started off by watching a video about the Cherry Blossom festival in Japan known as Hanami ('flower viewing'). Cherry blossoms have been used extensively in Japanese art for hundreds of years. So for this lesson students created a scroll-like painting of a cherry blossom branch using the classic 'blow paint through a straw' technique. While the sky paper is drying, student practiced painting (tempera paint) cherry blossoms in their sketchbooks.
I demonstrated how to mix various tints of pink (always add the darker colour, red, a bit at a time, to the white- not the other way around). Let these dry flat. It worked pretty good. Art Lessons for Sixth Grade. 3rd grade. So what do you do with all those left over yarn cones?
I collected them over a few years. Once I had enough the third graders painted them with white tempera. Before class the 1 1/2" or 2" styrofoam balls were hot glued on and two holes were drilled for the arms. White polyester batting was glued on for hair or beards. Fadeless Paper buttons are stamped from shape punches and glued on. A strip of felt is fringed and tied on for a scarf. Edgar Müller - Metanamorph.
