Vacation Bible School Crafts

Are you a camp director, teacher, or homeschool mom looking for a new arts and crafts idea for your kids? Or perhaps you are a recreation director at a senior center or home care and could use a new project. Anyway, this idea of arts and crafts will be interesting and fun for all. The case of glass can be used, given as a gift, or converted into a stock collar.

In the case of glasses, you'll need the equipment very simple: a square of craft foam, plastic or large blunt needles, lanyard lace or thick yarn. Cut two rectangles of the foam, each 3-1/2 inches (9 cm.) By 6 inches (15 cm.). With all punch, make holes on three sides of each rectangle, for more details visit www.101-save-money.com leaving one short side unpunched. Make the holes 1 / 2 inch apart and allow at least 1 / 4 inch between the hole and the edge of the foam crafts. The holes have to queue while the two pieces can be laced together. If you prepare the boat for small children, you must do yourself holes. Otherwise, the crafters can do this step if you have enough pairs of punches together.


At this stage, the crafters can cut decorative shapes from other colors of craft foam, or you can buy sets of foam shapes Ready-Cut. If you make the boat a special event, such as school holidays Bible, for details see www.art-of-astrology.com choose shapes that echo the theme of the event. For example, if the Bible school or camp has a cowboy theme, find shapes that fit well, such as boots, cowboy hats, and stars. Let the kids choose the shapes they like and glue as desired. You might also like to provide beads or sequins to glue together, especially if the artisans are a little older.

The next step in this arts and crafts idea is to thread the plastic needle with yarn or lanyard lace. Son can be a bit easier to handle, but lace lanyard is brilliant and attractive. In a pinch, some teachers of early childhood use a hair clip as a needle. It is certainly a safe alternative. Simply loop the wire through the opening and use of the open end of the hairpin as if it was the point of the needle. Children can now begin to lace front and behind glasses case together.

To turn this arts and crafts idea into a necklace bag, simply attach a piece of lace string to each corner making a long handle. Children love to use this as a place to store secret notes and small objects. If they prefer, they can give the glasses case to a parent, grandparent or friend who wears glasses. Anyway, this idea of arts and crafts will be interesting for all.
