Arts and crafts idea: foam sheet glass case
Are you a camp director, teacher, mother at home or finding a new arts and crafts idea for your children? Or maybe you’re a recreational director at a top center or nursing home and could use a new project. However, this arts and crafts idea will be interesting and fun for all. This showcase can be used, given as a gift, or converted into a necklace purse.
To make the case for glasses, you’ll need the following equipment simple: a square of craft foam, plastic or foam large needles, along the lace or thick son. Cut two rectangles of foam, each 3-1/2 inches (9 cm.) By 6 inches (15 cm.). With a punch, make holes on three sides of each rectangle, leaving a blank short side. Make the holes 1 / 2 inches and allow at least 1 / 4 inch between the hole and the edge of the craft foam. The holes have to queue so that both pieces can be laced together. If you prepare the craft for small children, you should make the holes himself. Otherwise, the artisans can make this step if you have enough pairs of holes punched.
At this point, decorative art can reduce other forms of colors of craft foam, or you can buy sets of ready-cut foam forms. If you do crafts at a special event, like vacation Bible school, choose shapes that echo the theme of the event. For example, if the Bible school or camp cowboy has a theme, find ways that match, such as boots, hats cowboy, and the stars. Let the children choose the form they want and glue on as you like. You might also like to provide beads or sequins to glue on as well, especially if the craftsmen are a little older.
The next step in this arts and crafts idea is to thread the needle plastic with the son or lanyard lace. Son can be a little easier to handle, but along the lace is bright and attractive. In a pinch, some teachers of young children use a bobby pin as a needle. It is certainly a safe alternative. Just loop the wire through the opening and use the open end of bobby pin as if it were the point of the needle. Children can now begin to lace front and back of all glass case.
To enable this arts and crafts idea in a bag necklace, simply attach a piece of lace cord at each corner to a long handle. Children enjoy using this case as a secret location to store notes and small items. If they prefer, they can give the glasses case to a parent, grandparent or friend who wears glasses. However, this arts and crafts idea will be interesting for all.
