Craft of the Week

What can we make together? Brain-storming picture ideas

#1. My favorite-
  Wrapping paper pictures are fun because you don't have to be good at drawing to get a pretty, original picture. Cut out the pieces you want and paste them. We have this adorable zoo wrapping paper, so I made a crazily colored zoo, with a polka-dot background and purple, shiny grass.  (All wrapping paper!)

#2. The typical-
  I am horrible with a paint brush, so this is not my favorite. But draw  a design,  paint over it, and voila, a picture for all to see, love, and adore.

#3. 3-Dimensional-
  This is so much fun-- it's a gluing mania with pom-poms, beads, and colorful bits of paper. I made a Christmas ornament by gluing  sparkly white beads (along with two blue for eyes, and about five orange for a long carrot nose) to a  bit of card stock. It made a beautiful snowman! See what you can make 3-D!

#4. Rubber bands-
  Make a rainbow by stretching bands around a piece of cardboard. Use different colors to make different designs.
