Kids crafts Fabric angels

Materials needed:
Fabric of any color or design
Two different size circles to trace around, (a dinner plate is a good idea for the large circle)
Needle & thread
Lace
Ribbon
Glue
Cotton balls
Apiece of card
Black pen
Yellow wool
1 gold pipe cleaner

For the angel
Draw a large circle (tracing a dinner plate) onto your fabric. Cut it out and sew lace around the rim. Put a cotton ball in the middle of the large circle then tie in the middle with the thread. Cover the thread by tying a ribbon around her neck. Draw a face onto the angel with your pen.

For the halo
Take your pipe cleaner and form half of it into a circle (leaving some left hanging). Bend in the middle and sew it to the back of the angels head.

For the hair
Take a very thin piece of material 2cm wide and the length of the angels head using the same fabric as the angel. Glue strands of the wool to the piece of fabric taking it right to the edge until the whole lot is covered and you can`t see any of the fabric. Glue to the angels head before gluing the halo on.

For the wings
Cut out the smaller circle and sew fabric around the rim. Tie very tightly in the middle so that it looks like two fans. Tie around the neck so that it hides the pipe cleaner. Glue a piece of ribbon to the back and hang from the tree.

Kids crafts Cool photo frames

Kids crafts Cool photo frames


Materials needed:
Wooden picture frame/s
Glue, tape
Paint
String
Sea shells, sand, small pebbles, jigsaw pieces, buttons
Cardboard
Dry pasta shapes
Your favourite photos

Sea theme frame
Collect some shells, sand and some small pebbles from the beach. Paint the frame blue. Apply glue to half of the frame (the bottom half) and cover with the sand. Once this is done glue on the small pebbles and shells. Draw a small sun from card, paint it yellow and glue it to the top right corner. Of course you could cover the whole of the frame in shells if you desire.

Jazzy frame
Paint the frame any colour you like but for a jazzy look bright pinks and yellows look best. Decide on what pasta shapes you would like to use. Now lay them on a sheet of paper the same size as the frame and experiment with the design. Once you have got your desired design paint the pasta shapes in a variety of colours. Glue them to the frame and stick in a photo of you and your friends.


Button frame
You can usually pick up bags of buttons from fairs, charity shops, for net to nothing or ask your nan or your mother if they have any. I have collected bags of buttons, beads and other bits and pieces for years they always come in handy. Glue a mass of different shapes, sizes and coloured buttons to your frame. It will look amazing.


Puzzle frame
Don`t throw out that jigsaw that has half the pieces missing - instead paint them in bright colours and make a frame for your favourite photo.
Paint the jigsaw in your favourite colours. You can either have them multi-colours or just two colours such as black and white. Glue the photo to a piece of card that is just a bit bigger. Once your jigsaw pieces are dry glue them to the card. They must overlap so that you cant see any of the card. Tape a bit of string to the back to hang from the wall.
