Valentines Day Craft!!!!

To make this craft you need:
2 pieces of Paper
scissors
Glitter glue
glitter
glue
papper or plastic plate

To Start you take your first piece of paper and cut a big heart in the middle. Then you put the second piece of paper under the one you just cut, make an outline out glue around the heart and sprinkle glitter on the glue. This is were the second piece of paper comes in handy, shake all the leftover glitter onto that paper and save it for later. Next take your glitter-glue and put little globs of each one onto the paper/plastic plate. Then you can draw hearts on the paper around the big heart, prefer to draw the hearts with my fingers, but paint brushes work too! Then you let it dry and you have an amazing Valentines Day decoration!
The reason I know about this craft is because of my little sister. She did this craft at school and thought it was really fun so I tried it, I thought it was fun too so I shared it with you!!!

Art!

Art is actually a craft. Did you ever think of sculptures, or crafts, or pottery? Those are all crafts. One of my favorite artists is Salvador Dali. Like many artists, Salvador Dali painted his elephant painting with inspiration he got from a statue. I learned this in art class when we did our own version of his elephant painting. I think this painting is very unique because the legs of the elephants were very long and skinny.

Snowman Ornament!

This Snowman will brighten up your holiday with sparkles!!!

What you’ll need:

String
3 bottle caps
silver glitter glue
paint brush
orange sharpie and a black sharpie
hot glue gun
pipe cleaners
scissors

How To Make:

First plug in your hot glue gun, and while that’s heating up  cut your string, but don’t cut your string too long.
Next double up the string. When the hot glue gun is ready, hot-glue all three of your bottle caps together in a line. Then hot-glue the string to the back of the bottle caps.  Don’t forget to leave a loop at the top.
Now take your sharpies and draw a face and buttons on the front of the bottle caps how you want. Then take your paint brush and paint the silver glitter glue on the front, over the face and buttons!  While you wait for the glitter glue to dry, if you want you can make pipe cleaner arms!  To make pipe cleaner arms cut one “long” piece(not too long) and two short pieces for each arm.  Hot glue two short pieces on each side of a longer piece.  Do that twice so you have two arms, then hot glue them onto the back of the middle bottle cap (one on each side)!   Wait for everything to dry, and then you have a cute and easy snowman ornament!!!

Duct Tape Flower Pens!

You’ll be writing in style with one of these babies!

What You’ll Need:

ballpoint pen

colored/patterned duct tape

green duct tape

First you rip one square of your colored/patterned duct tape and then you fold the top two corners in and stick it around the end of the pen.These are your petals. When it it gets big enough( don’t make it to big other wise it will be to heavy to write with) you take the green tape and rap a piece around the middle(next to the petals). this is your stem. Next(optional)you make a petal out of green tape and fold the point backward and stick it on the stem. Finally you fold the point up and then you have a leaf. Your flower is complete!
