Bringing people, information & ideas together to enrich lives and build community.
You will need 1 plastic egg (filled with either beads, rice, beans, or something that will make noise and hot glued shut), decorative tape, markers, and two plastic spoons.
Decorate your filled and sealed egg and spoons however you wish. . Then you will tape a spoon on either side of the egg, covering the glue. Add more tape on the handles. See the picture for reference. Enjoy your shaker!
Before we move on from flowers, we are offering one last flower craft to remind us spring is arriving. For this one you will need a paper cup, a plastic spoon, liquid glue, yarn, old book pages, tissue paper, and a scissor. You can also choose to use paint, crayons, markers, etc. to further decorate your flower pot.
First, take your tissue paper and cut petal designs out so that you end up with 4-5 petals. Glue them onto the front of the spoon where it is concave). Then you will add glue to the center of the spoon and add your yarn in a spiral to create the flower center. Cut any excess yarn you don’t need.
While that dries, decorate your pot. The cup will be upside down. You can tear pieces of book pages to decorate your cup ( we also used our paper bags the take-n-makes come in), or if you want to paint or color it, feel free to do so! Once it is decorated, you will poke a small hole on the bottom of the cup in the center (which is now the top) and stick your spoon in there.
You will need a scissor, a paper circle template, colored paper in various patterns, and liquid glue to complete this project.
First, cut out your cardstock circle. Then you will take your colorful patterned paper and tear off petals. Glue the petals onto the cardstock in layers, starting on the outer edge of the circle and working your way towards the center. Included is a button to glue in the center, or you can cut out paper to use.
Here’s a little something fun to do in honor of Spring while still maintaining the practice of social distancing!
This is your chance to take a break from your phone, get present, and fully be in the moment just observing your scavenger finds. Let it be an opportunity to fuel your creativity by taking your own photos of what you come up with!
Do what you need to and just have fun!!
