People told me ladybug is for good luck and I’ve been believing in that ever since. I can never have enough of ladybugs in my art or crafts. Thanx to Handprint and Footprint Arts, let’s do a footprint ladybug today 🙂
Footprint Ladybug
Paint your heel black
Paint the remaining 3/4 of your foot red
Nice 🙂
Stamp your painted foot onto a piece of paper
Paint your fingertip black. Dot the bug.
Paint your fingertip white and dot two eyes.
Use a thin paint brush and paint the eyes and legs and you are done 🙂
When doing art work or crafting, a hair dryer can come in handy at times. Sometimes the paint or glue take too long to dry. Use a hair dryer to expedite the drying process. Invest in the most basic hair dryer as all you need it to do is blow dry 😀
One of Ethan’s vitamin supplement comes with a sponge in the bottle. Each time we open a new bottle, we need to take out the sponge. After some time, I see that I have so many of these nice round sponges and wondered what can I do with them. Today, let’s make good use out of it. Let’s make a spider, an albino spider that is 😛
Albino Spider
You'll need a round sponge, a white pipe cleaner, a red pipe cleaner and two large googly eyes
Glue the googly eyes onto the sponge
Cut the white pipe cleaner into smaller pieces. You'll need eight. Bend them and glue four on each side
Cut a short piece of red pipe cleaner. Bend in the middle and glue as the mouth. Your albino spider is done 🙂
Ever tried painting with your toddlers? Remember the mess they can create? How often do they tear the paper when they kept on painting on the same spot and that spot became soggy and weak? When doing a paint project with your toddlers, it’s good to use paper plates instead of drawing paper as paper plate is much thicker to prevent from tear resulting from too much handling.
It has been quite some time we did not touch on origami. If not for all the emails I’ve been getting requesting for origami, it might have just slipped out of my mind. I’ve just been too engrossed with paper art, foams and painting lately 😛 Sorry peeps 😀
Ok, let’s get started. Let’s make an origami fox today 🙂
Craft scissors are scissors which have been developed for use in arts and crafts. There are several different styles of craft scissors, ranging from pinking shears, which create a wavy edge in cut objects, to children’s craft scissors, with blunt blades which are designed to reduce injury. Many craft stores sell an assortment of craft scissors, and it is also possible to order them through specialty suppliers. Having a pair of utility craft scissors around the house can be extremely useful, as these scissors tend to be very versatile.
