How to Make Cool Stuff
HAVE you ever wished you could suggest a use for the interesting stones that children bring home? Here is an idea. By adding crepe-paper mache to these rocks, the children can produce interesting creatures of the imagination. These can be used for paperweight gifts, but the experience of making them has its own reward. With crepe-paper mache children can make rocks into birds, animals, vehicles, fruit, vegetables, holiday novelties. Sounds fun, right? Sure does. So, let’s get started.
I have a fun and creative craft for you today. In this post I’m going to show you how to make a Wire Giraffe using a wire hanger and some crepe paper. This craft is a great way to use those wire hangers that you have, but no longer use to hang up your clothes. You will need a little bit of adult supervision for cutting the wire so make sure to have an adult around during this craft. So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started.
Crepe paper flowers are very beautiful, but usually require a lot of skill to make. But here’s a type of crepe paper flowers that are easy to make and look very pretty. You don’t have to use the colors I did…. instead pick out a bunch of Spring colors to get in the Spring spirit. After all, Spring will be here in just a couple of weeks. These Crepe Paper Flowers are perfect for an upcoming party…. or better yet just decorate your child’s room with beautiful colors. Either way…. let’s have fun making this craft.
This is a really neat arts and crafts project to make a real, usable bowl, hot plates, or other type of pottery from normal crepe paper party streamers. You might even have these hanging around the house already. This would make a great crafts project to make a gift for Mom or Grandma on Mother’s Day or for a present for them on their birthdays.
