Delightful Daisies

Don't you just love the flowers that come with Spring? Make a daisy or a whole bouquet! Give them to someone special or keep them for yourself.

Craft Project Directions:
To make this craft project you will need white construction paper, yellow construction paper, a colored pipe cleaner for a stem, scissors, tape, and glue.

To begin take your white construction paper and cut off a small square. Bend it into a small cone. Leave just enough room at the point of the cone to slide a pipe cleaner stem into later. Tape or glue the cone together so it holds its shape.

Next trim the white paper cone so the top of the cone is level. Now take your scissors and cut straight into the cone vertical cuts all the way around the cone. The cuts should go the length of the cone, leaving about 1/2 uncut.

Repeat with a second square of white paper. Now stack your cones one on top and inside the other. Twist the top one so your petals look full all the way around.

Now insert the colored pipe cleaner into the base of the flower and glue or tape it in place.

Next cut out a small yellow circle and tape or glue it to the center of your daisy. Make a whole bouquet.

Leprechaun Trap : No Leprechauns Allowed!

Today's Craft:

Leprechaun Trap : No Leprechauns Allowed!

Do you think you can lure a leprechaun into an inverted cone trap? Give it a try...

Craft Project Directions:
To make this craft project you will need a small box, string, scissors, tape, glue, markers or crayons, glitter, and colored construction paper.

To begin take your box and cut a hole slightly larger than a quarter in the top- you will insert the bottom of your cone into this hole. Next squirt some glue through the hole and pour in some glitter so when you look into the hole you see sparkling glitter which will look like elf treasure to the unsuspecting leprechaun.

Now take a piece of green construction paper, bend into a large cone (a large funnel shape), secure it with tape, stick the small end into the hole in the box and tape/glue in place. Use the picture as a guide.

Next take a length of string and knot it every inch and attach one end to the top of the inverted cone- this is a ladder for the leprechaun. Now decorate your trap with colored paper, glitter, crayons and markers, St. Patrick's Day symbols, and be sure to add signs which say things like 'No Leprechauns Allowed', 'For Eleves Only', 'Only Elf Treasure Allowed Beyond this Point', etc.

Let dry and place your trap in a good leprechaun catching spot. With any luck a leprechaun will see your trap, think it's an elf treasure hiding place, climb up the side of the cone, and when he sees the glittering gold at the bottom lose his balance and slide into the box where he will be trapped. Good Luck!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Enjoy Crafting!
