How to Make Cool Stuff
I have another funny way to celebrate Chinese New Year : let’s make a pair of earrings (you’ll need a little help on step # 4). These will be made of paper and will have two very important Chinese symbols : the fan and the cherry blossom.
The Chinese New Year is coming up and this crafts project reminded me of a Chinese Paper Lantern. Today, we will show you how to make this easy-to-make arts and crafts project.
This is a great project to do while thinking about Martin Luther King Jr’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Specifically the quote “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” This craft can help remind us that all colors, whether they be the colors on a piece of paper, or the colors of our skin, can work well together and create wonderful things.
For Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday, why not make a poster or wall hanging full of your dreams? This craft can be done at home by one or two children on construction paper, as in the example, or as a class project, if you use poster board.
Think at Peace as a beautiful flower. How this flower will look like? You can make this to celebrate the great Martin Luther King Jr. on Martin Luther King Day with your child’s hand prints.
Because Martin Luther King Day is approaching, I think we should remember that, even if we are looking different, we are equals and we wish for the same things in life. One of those things is PEACE. Today, Laura from Dacian Moon Handmade will be showing you how to make a Peace Dance out of paper.
I noticed that there are 2 holidays / events coming up – The Chinese New Year and The 100th Day of School. I think that the Chinese Abacus could be a craft to tie both of these 2 celebrations together. The Abacus uses 100 beads and was created by the Chinese people who called this calculating instrument a Swan-Pan.
Tomorrow is New Years Eve so it is time to party (partaaaaaaaaaaaay). So how about making a toy confetti pipe to make cool little fireworks to celebrate the upcoming New Year. We will show you how to do this with the easy illustrated steps below. Have fun.
It is Winter time and since we just had a big snowfall, I thought it would be a good idea to show you how to make these fancy 6-pointed snowflakes that look like fancy stars. These can are a bit more complex than the normal stars / snowflakes. I have tried to simplify it for you below by showing you every single step of the process in an illustrated fashion. Have fun.
You can use this special fold-up, accordion pocketed book to hold all the memories of this year or next year … and then you can put it away as if it were a time capsule. Then you can try not to look at it for 10 years. You will be surprised at how much you have changed in that amount of time. Have fun.
