This is a really fun craft that doesnt require any fancy materials. You’ll most likely have everything already at home. It’s also ‘magical’ and I’m sure your kids will love it!
Amazing Balancing Butterfly Craft
Materials needed:
Coloured Paper Card board from cereal boxes (or any other box) Glue Coins
Fold a coloured paper half. Draw one half of a butterfly making sure the top wings are way above the butterfly head to enable it to balance. This is also a good time to teach your child about the centre of gravity.
Cut and paste onto the card board. Cut again.
Decorate the butterfly.
Paste a coin each on the back of the top wings.
The butterfly should be able to balance itself now.
It can balance almost anywhere.
Your kids will have a whole lot of fun balancing the butterfly everywhere!
You can also make a balancing bird instead of a butterfly.
It’s just as beautiful and fun to play with. This is a great craft to make at any parties 🙂
I stumbled upon this great idea from Rainbowstarbooks for a goodie bag! The next time you have a party, why not place all the little goodies in a plastic bag and tie it up to look like a butterfly?
When I do grocery shopping, I often get bowls as free gifts for some of my purchases. Today, I feel like doing something to beautify the bowl and make it the center of attraction 😀
All we need is the bowl and a bear. I use the bear I got from being a loyal member of a supermarket chain 🙂
Glue the hands and feet to the bowl. Tie a golden ribbon around the neck and your guest will never know that the bowl and bear are made up of cheap stuff 😀
Fresh flowers are beautiful but they don’t last. This is my first time venturing into making paper flowers. Instead of using tissue paper, I used crepe paper instead.
Crepe paper carnation
I used crepe paper instead of tissue paper and pipe cleaner instead of the floral wire.
Accordion fold the crepe paper. Fold it once from one side to the other and fold again.
I so love this Easter project that I did with Ethan (well, most of it was ME as empty egg shells are too fragile to be handled by him). The end result is just too satisfying and cute!
Let’s start 😀
One Happy Family Chicken Eggs
You'll need some empty egg shells.
You'll need to cut out some 'chicken parts' from coloured felts and paste double layered tape on it.
Paste all the parts onto the empty egg shell. Draw two dots as the eyes.
Introducing... Daddy Chicken Egg 😀
Put your hands together for... Mummy Chicken Eggs 🙂
Our bundle of joy... Baby Chicken Egg a.k.a. Ethan 😛
Together, we make a lovely Happy Family portrait 🙂
I’m still smiling looking at those eggs 🙂 If you have any Easter projects you want to share with us, please submit them here and we’ll link it back to you. Thank you 🙂
Easter is around the corner. Let’s make a simple but cute Easter greeting card 🙂
Easter Greeting Card
Trace the outline of your palm and cut. You'll need both sides of your palms cut out.
Cut out an oval from a yellow construction paper.
Paste the palm cut out on each side as the wings.
Cut a triangle from a brown felt as the beak. Two circles from beach felt as the eyes. Cut two legs from brown foam and two small circles from black foam. Glue. You may also opt to use construction paper instead of felt and foam but I prefer felt and foam for a better finish 😀
Having a party? Help your guests identify their glasses with personalized drinking glasses. You need not go to the extreme of ordering engraved drinking glasses with names on it. Cut cost and use ribbons to tie a name tag around the glass instead 🙂
Personalised Drinking Glasses
You'll need drinking glasses, ribbons, craft scissors, cards with names printed on it and a punch hole
Cut the name using the craft scissors. Punch a hole at the side and run the ribbon through it. Tie around the glass.
You are now ready to enjoy your drink with your personalized glass 😀
Learn the different methods to design a mug and we’ll help you print it.
Anney was planning to arrange the fruit skewers into a terracotta pot but she saw this picket fence planter box and thought it was cute.
She used a floral foam for the base and embellished the planter box with vines and a ladybug.
She used cookie cutters to cut out the shapes.
Pretty.. just too pretty. Use lots of heart shapes for this coming Valentine's Day 🙂
Thank you Anney for sharing this food craft with us. You too can share your craft with us by simply submitting them here and we’ll link it back to you 🙂
This red packet seashell tree ornament is extremely easy to do. This Chinese New Year, let’s do one 🙂
Red Packet Seashell Tree Ornament
Fold the red packet in half.
Cut the folded side of the packet into strips measuring about 0.5cm each. Make sure you leave about 1 cm around the edges before you start cutting, as you are going to staple the edges together later.
Open up the folded red packet. Bring together two opposite corners and staple them together. Poke a hole through one of the ends, put a thread through it and tie a knot in the end of the thread.
