FUN BOARD!





We took this piece of wood, found on the street and created art worthy of hanging on the wall.

Supplies:

wood or other flat thick material

fabric scraps

paper (we cut out iron on letters for the word)

glue

scissors

beads

ornaments/ keychains/ jewelry

Directions:

Cut scraps of fabric into triangles and squares.

Glue on to board and arrange however you want, you will most likely overlap a bit.

Allow about 10 minutes for the fabric to dry, then glue on your word, beads and other decorations.

Let dry.

I think I had more fun than the kids with this one! All of the work took about 30 minutes.

Paper Bead Bracelet
















SUPPLIES:

Magazines


Scissors


Tape


Stretchy cord or Elastic


Beads and Buttons (optional)




Cut magazine pages into small strips, about 1/2 "wide by 4"long

Roll into small beads

Tape closed , all the way round so they can get wet and not fall apart.

Bead onto stretchy cord and tie tightly.


You can add beads or buttons in between the magazine beads for a little spice! Or make more beads for a necklace.
