 Arts and Crafts Idea:  Foam Sheet Glasses Case

Are you a camp director, teacher, or homeschool

mom trying to find a replacement arts and crafts idea for your kids? or even you're a recreation director at a senior center or home and will use a replacement project. Either way, this arts and crafts idea are going to be interesting and fun for all. This glass case are often used, given as a present , or converted into a necklace purse.


To make the case , you'll need the subsequent simple materials: a square of craft foam, plastic or large blunt needles, lanyard lace or thick yarn. Cut two rectangles from the froth , each 3-1/2 inches (9 cm.) by 6 inches (15 cm.). With a hole punch, make holes on three sides of every rectangle, leaving one short side unpunished. Make the opening s 1/2 inch apart and permit a minimum of 1/4 inch between the hole and therefore the fringe of the craft foam. The holes got to line up in order that the 2 pieces are often laced together. If you're preparing the craft for little children, you ought to make the holes yourself. Otherwise, the crafters can do that step if you've got enough pairs of hole punches.



At now the crafters can cut decorative shapes from other colors of craft foam, otherwise you can purchase sets of ready-cut foam shapes. If you're doing the craft at a special event, like vacation Bible school, choose shapes that echo the theme of the event. as an example , if the Bible school or camp features a cowboy theme, find shapes that fit well, like boots, cowboy hats, and stars. Let the youngsters choose the shapes they like and glue on as desired. you would possibly also wish to provide beads or sequins to attach on also , especially if the crafters are a touch older.



The next step during this arts and crafts idea is to string the plastic needle with the yarn or lanyard lace. Yarn could be a touch easier to handle, but lanyard lace is shiny and attractive. during a pinch, some teachers of young children use a hairgrip as a needle. it's certainly a secure alternative. Simply loop the yarn through the opening and use the open end of the hairgrip as if it were the purpose of the needle. the youngsters can now begin to lace the front and back of the case together.



To turn this arts and crafts idea into a necklace purse, simply attach a bit of lanyard lace to every corner making an extended handle. Kids will enjoy using this case as an area to store secret notes and little objects. If they'd rather, they will give the case to a parent, grandparent, or friend who wears glasses. Either way, this arts and crafts idea are going to be interesting for all.
