Hello everyone! I know that it is still winter but don't frown. Spring is coming! Springtime is a very wonderful time of the year. The plants start growing back,the flowers start to bloom,and there is fresh green grass starting to pop up from the ground. Doesn't that sound so wonderful? Spring is the time of the year that everything gets pretty. So, today we are going to make paper carnations. Paper carnationsare fun and easy to make. These paper carnations can be made in any colors you want. For sure this craft will bring Spring into your home! Paper carnations are not real flowers(Obviously!They are made out of paper.) so they will not make a mess in your home and you do not need to water them. These paper carnations will stay in a good condition for a long time so you can show these flowers off in your home for a long time. I hope that everyone will enjoy this craft. Now lets get started! Materials:
any color tissue paper
scissors
pipe cleaners(chenille stems)
Steps: 1. Layer 3-4 sheets of tissue paper and then cut them into 4-5” wide strips that are 12” long. 2. Cut about 1.5” off the end of a pipe cleaner(chenille stem) and set aside.Take the remaining piece of the chenille stem and lay about 2”
of it onto the tissue paper and roll up (starting at the short end)
around the pipe cleaner(chenille stem). 3. Once you completely rolled it up, take the short piece of the pipe cleaner (chenille stem) that
you cut off earlier and twist it around the bottom of the tissue paper
to hold it in place. 4. Use scissors to cut 2-3” long slits down from the top of the
rolled tissue paper. Continue around until all strips are cut. 5. Roll up a 6”x2” piece of green tissue paper and place at the top of the flower stem. 6. Grab the bottom of the stem and bring it up and over the green
tissue paper and twist tight. These are the flower’s leaves. 7. Repeat, making several different flowers, then combine the stems to make a bouquet. 8. Twist the stem of any one of the flowers around the rest of the stems to hold them all together. 9. Place them in a vase and use them as a table centerpiece. Tips: If you want a scent to your flowers you can spray some perfume on your flower bouquet. I got this craft from: http://crafts.kaboose.com/tissue-paper-carnations.html

Duct tape can also come in different colors like pink,white,usual gray,etc . But,duct tape can also come in some funky designs like zebra print,plaid,mustache print,polka dot,and even more!One of my favorite brands of duct tape is duck tape.Duck tape has the best designs and it is easy to use.Today I will show you how to make a duct tape heart.Since January is almost ending and it is almost February I decided that I should get some Valentines Day crafts started! Lets get duct taping...
Since there is a lot of cool street art I thought that I can do something simpler and recreate some kind of 3D figure! Looking at some 3D picture or art looks like it is very complicated to do. But, it is actually pretty easy. I find that 3D art can be inspiring to do more 3D things that you thought you can never draw before. Doing 3D art is super simple by following these steps: Materials:
drawing paper
magic marker or a sharpie
colored pencils
pencil
Directions:
Put your hand on the paper and trace the outline of it very lightly so it won't be noticed too much.
Draw horizontal lines on your paper in magic marker or a sharpie. The lines should be drawn straight outside of the outline of your hand and curved
inside the outline. This will make it look like your hand is popping out of the paper.
Use the colored pencils to color in the lines but don't color the same color in a row or else your drawing will not look as that good and pop out like 3D!
So, now it is a new year. There has not been much snow yet or not at all depending on where you live. So, today we are going to make our own ''snow''. We are going to make paper snowflakes! I hope that these paper snowflakes will bring out the Winter in January. So, lets get started!
Materials: --White Construction Paper --Scissors
Step 1. Fold your paper down to a corner and cut the excess rectangleoff.
Step 2. After you cut the excess paper fold your paper in half so it looks like a smaller triangle.
Step 3. Cut your pattern on the sides of your triangle but try not to cut too much or else your snowflake will fall apart.
Step 4. Unfold your snowflake and now you can hang it or decorate with it.
