michael ann made.: woven friendship bracelet tutorial
i love the summer friendship bracelet trend that i keep seeing in blog land, so i thought it would be fun to share with you another way to weave a friendship bracelet. one of the parents at work showed me this technique of using a circular cardboard loom and i love how quick it goes, you can easily finish a bracelet in one sitting. - cardboard - something small and circular (like a teacup or ramekin) - scissors, ruler, pen - embroidery thread in pretty colors , thin yarn, or ribbon trace a circle onto your cardboard, and use a ruler to draw 8 lines cut a small ways into each line, between 1/2 an inch to an inch and make a hole in the middle of the circle where all the lines intersect. cut 7 strands of embroidery floss, about 24 inches long and tie them together with a slip knot. pull your thread bundle through the hole in your cardboard with the knot right up next to the hole and use a little piece of tape to hold it in place while you start. now for the fun part!
crafts for kids and their parents Toilet Roll Crafts for Kids - Despicable Me Minions
Toilet Roll Craft- Make a Minion It’s all about Despicable Me 2 at the moment, they’re such a huge drive behind the movie release and if the first awesomely brilliant movie is anything to go by this second visit to the world of Gru and the Minions will be even better. I can’t wait for it’s release on the 28th. So during the build up to the 28th what better was to spend your time than to Make A Minion from everyday household bits and pieces. All you need is toilet roll cores, newspaper, cardboard, glue, wool, a black sharpie and some paint…. oh and googly eyes :) Toilet Roll Crafts for Kids – How to Make A Minion First, stuff the toilet roll core with some newspaper, this will give your character more solidity and weight. Next secure the newspaper in position with some tape, I used paper tape but masking or cellotape will work just as well. And onto decorating we go… 1 Paint the entire surface in yellow 2 Stick one googly eye on the front and cut circles of cardboard to fit around the eye

flax & twine for easy craft tutorials and diy projects: Finger Knitting How-to
You know how I just wrote about how I like getting a handmade gift more than just about anything. Well, this is anything. Sitting on the couch on a lazy Sunday, knitting with my kids . . . that beats gift-getting for sure. It is a gift itself. We just sat there side-by-side, for about an hour, feeling the warmth from each other’s bodies, listening to music from my computer and basking in each others company as the sun streamed through the windows. Ahhh . . .the experience was so delightful, it was hard to peel myself away to take the photos. The two kiddos are finger-knitting, which I’ve written about before and again, but it continues to be a favorite activity. You end up with a long coil of knitting like this, that curls itself into a sort of tube. My son is using a finer and less expensive yarn, here. They really do enjoy the process. Some day, I’ll make a coiled rug from the pieces. Materials: Any yarn An eager kiddo Time: However long you want! Now, we’re going to head back again.
