Hello Friends and Family,
Finally,
it is Friday, which means Thanksgiving weekend is here! Time for some delicious
turkey and good times with our friends and family.
This
month I’ve decided to show
you two easy, fun, and inexpensive crafts to create over this long weekend. The first
project is an Olaf costume from the movie Frozen. Halloween costumes these days
can be very expensive and this a costume that will not break the bank; it is
also very fun to make. The second
project is a DIY decorative jar for Fall. This jar is great for the current season and can be used in a variety of
ways.
DIY OLAF COSTUME
What you will need:
• White
top
• White
beanie
• Black,
brown, and white felt
• Orange construction paper
• Brown
pipe cleaners
• Some
kind of stick (Example: chopstick)
• Glue
(Glue gun works the best)
• Scissors
Instructions:
1)
Body
Cut
3 circles (roughly 3 ½”) from the black felt. Using a glue
gun, glue them on the white top vertically like the body of a snowman.
2)
Eyes
Cut
2 more circles from the black felt (roughly 3”). Then cut 2 circles
(slightly smaller than your black ones) from the white felt. Glue the white
circles on each of the black circles to create the eyes. Finally cut out 2
circles (roughly 1”) and glue those on the white circles.
3)
Rest of the Face
Cut 2 eyebrow shapes (roughly 3” long) from the brown felt. Then glue the eyes and eyebrows directly onto
the white beanie. To finish off Olaf’s
head, use the pipe cleaners and poke through the fabric from the top of the
beanie and back through to create his hair.
4) The Nose
Roll
the orange paper into a cone shape and cut off the excess paper. Glue to your
choice of stick and you have your nose.
And
there you have it, your very own Olaf costume!
You can accessorize it as well by wearing sunglasses!
FALL MASON DECORATIVE JAR
What you will need:
• Craft
leaves
• A glass jar
• Twine
or ribbon
• Glue
Gun
Instructions
Glue
the leaves around the base of the jar. Make
sure to glue the leaves to
the bottom of the jar as well. Using the twine or ribbon, wrap it around the
jar a number of times. Finish off your jar by tying a bow at the front. These jars are very useful for items such as
pinecones or candy and can even be used to create a candle by inserting a
flameless tea light inside the jar.
Have
fun creating these crafts!
Happy Thanksgiving and hope everyone
has a great weekend.
