Penguins!

(source; http://crafts.kaboose.com/penguin-pals-ornaments.html )

What you'll need:

• 2” wood circle
• 8” piece of yarn
• Acrylic paints: white, black, orange
• Scraps of felt
• Scissors
• White craft glue
• Toothpick

How to make it:

1. Paint circle white and let dry.
2. Paint a border around the outside of the circle with black paint. It will look like a letter “C” if turned sideways (see image).
3. Use the handle end of a paintbrush dipped in black paint to dot on two eyes.
4. Use a toothpick dipped in orange paint to draw on a triangle for a beak. Let dry completely (see image).
5. Cut a bowtie (or a hair bow for a girl penguin) out of some scrap felt and glue to the penguin.
6. Loop yarn by folding in half and gluing both ends to the back of the wood circle.
7. You could also do this craft with construction paper cutouts.

In case you don't want to do that, you could try a Christmas version of my rose headbands.

CRAFT ON!

Thankful Turkey

Ok I dont have any pics but this is really quick before Thanksgiving. It's called a thankful turkey and it's lots of fun for the whole family.
You will need: construction paper, scissors, tape, and pens and pencils.
First cut out a front veiw of a whole turkey out of construction paper. Then cut out tons of colorful feathers out of construction paper. Now you just write all of the things that you are thankful for on the feathers and then tape them around the turkey. Then you can tape it to any blank wall in the house. This is a really good FHE activity to do especially since it's so close to Thanksgiving. Hope you like it and Happy Thanksgiving!

Edible cornucopia (you will need):

Cute halloween craft

Ok so this is a super cool halloween decoration that you can make easily. You will need: Milk cartons, a sharpie, white Christmas lights (or if it is under cover or somewhere it's not raining you can use a small candle.) First get a milk carton. Use your sharpie to draw a silly, scary, happy, sad or mad, any kind of cool face on your milk carton. Next if you are using Christmas lights string them through the opening in the milk carton. If you are using a candle cut an opening in the bottom the same size as the candle and put the milk carton on top of it.

Molly :0 :)

Mad Crafts

First ever attempted KNOCK-OFF!!!

Hey amigos!

have any of you seen THESE little guys floating around?

Well, I am going to attempt one this week... I will post directions afterwards! :)

Craft tree

This is a construction paper tree that you can keep up all year round and just decorate with the season.
You will need:
a variety of construction paper
tape
scissors
paint (optional)
So what you will do is find a bare corner of wall or just a bare wall in your house to decorate with. Use as much brown construction paper as you want for the trunk of the tree. Then cut some more into strips for the branches.
Then you just add whatever you want. For this time scince it is almost fall and its school time I did chalk boards with different letters and numbers on them. Then I added a bunch of different colored apples. I also added a bucket of apples. Also, for spring I did tissue paper flowers and I also put birds. For Christmas I put an owl with a santa hat on, Christmas lights, and we had ribbon that we taped our Christmas cards to. You can put all sorts of things on the tree for whatever season it is.

Ok i am so naughty!

Posting another craft! GRR. There won't be any pics for a while... no available camera :P

Needed-

8*Singed* circles of fabric, different sizes (all of them should be rather large)

Hot glue

Felt circle

Clip or headband

*Burn the edges of them on a candle.

Take one of your largest singed circles and fold it into fourths. Hot glue (the tip down)

the quarter onto your felt circle (about halfway to the middle).

Repeat with other three.

For the smaller circles,just glue on top of the others but put the tips in the same positions as the bigger ones. Hot glue a button, rhinestone, wooden bead, or old banana peel in the middle. Just kidding. Hot glue onto a headband or clip.

Tatata DA!

September is here!

Wow! Time has really flown by. Now that it's September, we will be posting random crafts, which may or may not be hair accessories. SO dig in to the craftyness! :)

mAd CrAfTs :D

Button Rings (or any other kind of hard thing)

Materials-

Random hard crafty objects (i.e. Buttons)

Ring or Wire

Hot Glue

This is so simple but super cute. You hot glue a large button (or jewel, or whatever) on your ring. (I used a bubble ring, the glass kind.) Layer more going-together buttons on it (I even added a small fabric flower). Tada!

Ruffled Flowers

This flower is really simple. What you will need:

Any color of thin fabric

Hot glue gun

Needle

thread

alligator clip

headband (optional)

First cut some strips of fabric with the width 2 and 1/2 inces length as long as your fabric. Then cut little strips out of the width. Next thread your needle. I still have that neon green fabric so before I get any new fabric my flowers are all going gto be made out of that fabric :). Then collect the needle through the fabric pretty small. Just do plain stiching through the fabric. Do the same to all of the strips.

Once you run out check to see if it is as long as your forearm to the tip of your middle finger. Remember to make each fabric as tight as possible because then it makes it have a cute ruffle. Then you need to tie it off.

Next you need to wrap them around each other to create a circle and then glue each layer together. Next glue a circle to the bottom and an alligator clip. You can clip it to a headband or just straight on to your hair. Hope you like it!

Rose Headbands

Completely easy, once you get the hang of the first part.

You will need;

• 4-6 different coordinating fabrics
• Felt
• Headband (or clip and white ribbon the same width as it)
• Scissors
• Hot Glue Gun

First, cut a strip of one of your fabrics about 1 and 1/2 inches wide, and about the same length as your foot (or from your wrist to your elbow), depending on how big you want your flower. The shorter, the smaller.

Fold one of the corners down, and start twisting the entire strip. Once you have twisted it, start rolling it into a spiral. When it is a spiral, hot glue it on to the felt. Repeat with your other fabrics. Try loose spirals and tight spirals. Be sure to vary your sizes!

Now you can add decorations; jewels, pearls, buttons... Hot glue them securely on flowers or beside them!

Cut out your bunch of flowers. Hot glue it onto a headband, then on the underside, hot glue a peice of felt so it doesn't irritate your head. Ta-da!

Folded flower headbands

The first head accessory is a headband clip. First you will need 2 pieces of fabric the same or two different types. I used a neon green fabric and a strip from a pair of my old jeans. Cut each strip about 2 and 1/2 in. by 9 or 10 inches depending on the flower on top or underneath (the bottom being bigger.) Next fold the fabric in half. Then sew both ends together using a needle and a thread. Then going through the middle of the circle loosely thread along the bottom. Once your done with that pull the string tight to make it sinched. Then tie off the thread. Repeat the same steps for the other strip.

Next glue along the inside of the bigger part with a hot glue gun and stick the smaller one inside until the rim sticks out and glues. Then I got one of those cheap plastic silver pearl necklaces and cut off 3 of the pearls to hot glue into the inside. Then I got an alligator clip openend it so that I didn't glue it shut and I glued the top to the flower. Next I cut a small square of navy blue tulle and glued it to the bottom. Then you can clip it onto the headband. I hope you enjoy this craft! :)
