Starry Night Bandana

Fun, cute, and easy!
    


   What you need: 
   *A blue bandanna
   *A white fabric marker
   *That's it!


 


#1. Lay your bandanna completely flat on your work surface.

#2. Begin to draw, with your white fabric marker, constellations. You can either draw real constellations or make up your own. Here are some of mine:

Little and big dipper

Sail boat

pig

Unicorn

#3. Add some shooting stars to fill some of the empty spaces.

#4.  Have fun wearing your new bandanna!

Dandelion Curls

Super cool!!! Super Easy!!

Psst! My sister helped me take photos:-).

What You Will Need:
Dandelions with very long stems.
A body of cool water, lake, bowl, stream.
your hands, big or small.

1. Break off all your extra stem so that there is about 6" left connected to the bud.

2. Peel your stem in half so that the bud has two strings connected to it.

3. Peel each half in half again so that the bud has four strings attached to it. You can keep repeating this step until you think the stems are thin enough. Note that the thinner your stems are the more they curl.

4. Place the dandelion in the water and watch it curl!! The longer you keep it in the water the more it will curl.

Curling.........

Done!

I made the stems very thin and left in the water for quite awhile, look what happened!!

Book-Monster

Cute! Easy! Fun! Great bookmarks!

What You Will Need:

• An Envelope (Any color) 
• Construction paper (Again, any color. But you will need a white or lighter color for the teeth.)
• Markers
• Scissors
• Glue
• Shape Punch (This is optional)

#1.  Cut the bottom corner of your envelope off. Then draw some patterns on the piece you cut off to make fur or scales.

#2. Use your shape punch or scissors to cut out a pair of eyes from your construction paper. You can cut multiple layers for the eyes or use the markers to add pupils and such. Glue on the eyes.

#3. Now the teeth. On the edge of the paper cut out a strip of tooth shapes. The teeth can be pointy or rounded, etc. Glue your teeth on the back side of the side that your eyes are on.

#4. Now use construction paper and cut out ears, horns or antennas. Glue them on, too. If you don't want any of this you don't need it.

#5. Let your glue dry and then enjoy your funny little book-monster!

Make dogs, cats, pandas, and even more!!!

How to Make Crayon Lipstick in 5 Easy Steps

   This is fantastic! It is easy, fun, and cheap! I have made many different colors and I use them often.

   What You Will Need:

a crayon (whatever color you want)Below we are using "pink" in crayola. Above we used "red" in crayola.

1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil

a small glass mason jar

a sauce pan

a ca-bob stick, or long stirring stick of any kind

a water bottle cap, Gatorade cap, etc.

a hot pad

and parent or guardian supervision

You can also add essential oils to give your lipstick a nice smell or flavor, which is fun.


#1. Boil a small amount of  water in your sauce pan with the mason jar in the center.

#2. Put the 1/2 tablespoon of oil into the mason jar along with about 1" of the crayon.

 #3.With your stirring stick,stir the oil and crayon until the crayon is completely melted. (You would want to add any scents or tastes now.)

#4. Turn off heat. Carefully remove the jar from the pot and poor the melted crayon into your water bottle cap.

#5. Let your lipstick dry. Then enjoy your nontoxic, homemade lipstick! 

For Application: Use your finger to apply the lipstick.

Important: If you want to mix and create your own crazy colors make sure to keep adding oil; a tablespoon per 2". If you don't you will be unable to apply it.
