You will need four toilet paper rolls and one kitchen paper roll

Draw a giraffe head and cut. Draw another slightly bigger head, cut and paste to the smaller head.

Glue them all together to get the giraffe.

A Crafty-Crafted Friend’s submission of lovely potato stamp art

Milton of Our Little Corners is such a cool brother. He does art and craft with his younger siblings. Today, he’s sharing their potato stamp fun art

Milton used potato, water color, knife and bond paper for this fun art.

Milton’s instruction

- Get a potato and cut it into half ( with pencil or any pointed material like a small knife)

- Outline your design into the raw surface.

- You can start of with some simple designs like a star, a fish or even a clover leaf.

- Using a small knife, cut around the outline of the design to a depth of 1/4 inch and then cut the background of the shape it self.

- For colors, you can use water colors , which you can mix with a little water.

- Just dip or spread the color with brush and apply it to a suitable surface.

Tadah!

Thank you Milton for spending quality time with your brother doing art projects together. Thank you too for sharing this art work with us

Teacher’s Day – Time to show our appreciation to the ones who have dedicated their time dedicating our children.

Let’s take a look at what one Crafty-Crafted Friend’s Mommy did for the recent Teacher’s Day celebration.

Here’s what Irene of http://zekerene.blogspot.com did

Teacher's Day Gift

The genius part of her uses the floor tiles as a 'ruler' to measure and cut the material into smaller pieces. See? When crafting, all you need to be is CREATIVE No ruler? Improvise. The floor tiles can even act as one! That's totally NEW to me

She got lots of earrings and bracelets from Bali ready

She wrapped them up

And then she made some cards

The beautifully decorated and handwritten cards

Beautifully done

Thank you Irene for the wonderful idea

So lovely, I likey

Thank you Milton
