Bold Bottle People

Today's Craft: Bold Bottle People

Craft Project Directions:

To make an interesting collection of bottle people, you will need a number of old empty bottles - any shape or size - ping-pong balls, glue, string or paper shreds, tissue paper or pieces of cloth, construction paper, scissors, paints, and a paint brush.

To begin, wash out your old bottles completely and let them dry.

Next take a bottle and ping-pong ball and glue the ball to the top of your bottle.

Next take your string or paper shreds and cut, trim, and glue either to the ping-pong ball to create hair.

Next take your tissue paper or cloth and wrap pieces of it around the bottle to create colorful clothing. Add arms cut out of construction paper to your bottle as well (you could also use pipecleaners to create bendable arms).

Now paint the ping-pong ball to create facial features and add other details as you wish.

Delightful Daisies

Today's Craft: Delightful Daisies

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. Enjoy Crafting!
